Introduction

Heya everyone! My name is Leo, and this is my blog that will talk about game design, whoho!

I should note that I am a terrible writer, so probably this and many other posts will not have a proper beginning and end. So yeah. Let’s go! 三三ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

First of all, why did I choose this name: the Art of Game Design?

Well because it is my firm belief that Videogames are indeed a form of art, and on every blog post I will try to convince you of that aswell.

So yeah, let’s start with a really interesting topic, that everyone in my class will love to read about ( did I mention this is a uni project? Oh my, why am I lying to myself? Who else is going to read this besides my teachers? Hi Andy! ಗ‿ಗ ) what is that I believe classifies something as art.

Art is, in my opinion, whatever is capable of purposefully make another human being some feeling or emotion besides mere entertainment.

That painting that inspires you awe for how articulated it is? Art!

That movie that made you fall in love and made you feel the butterflies like a teenager? Art!

That thriller book that kept you in tension and dread for the whole run? Art!

That song that transported you to a whole new dimension for a couple of minutes? Art!

The latest videogame which story mode left you with nothing cause it was easy and bland? Not so much.

But that other videogame that made you feel challenge, anger, joy, sadness, fear and fun? HECK YEAH!

Even the online troll that spawn-traps you, he might feel like an artist if you ask him, as I said, emotions don’t need to be strictly positive!

So yeah, this is just a small intro to my concept of art, so that in further posts we can all start on the same level. I don’t know how to conclude.ʅ(ツ)ʃ. Did I already mention I’m a terrible writer?
