    ”What is the ultimate answer?” I could have used it as my thesis…..

    @swiscombe Well, I guess I had the same issue and, I would say that designer and artist are different.

      I disagree. When it comes to games, the art is in the design and everything that it envelops.

        It’s semantics, I suppose, since ”Artist” can be parsed into ”modeler”, ”texturer”, etc. It’s not to discount the art of design (which is its own can of worms in the ’art’ world)

        Em…..I guess design is kinda personal so people can have different ways of doing it. And there’s definitely art IN it, while there are also people arguing that the process including the result should be art itself. But afa most designers are having users, they may deal more then just art. On the other hand, I don’t think the ”universal methodology” is not a kind of art tho :b

          Fair. We’re definitely on the same side in this fight.

    That’s universal methodology…….

    In reply to - Simon Wiscombe posted an update in the group 511 Seminar: I think I have an issue with how games are made. I feel like it’s taking the engineering project model and inserting small amounts of film practices in it. It just seems shoe-horned and inappropriate. · View

    This is my second GDC. I can still remember, last year, when I was carpooling with my classmates heading to San Francisco, and wondering what kind of world was in front of me that I’d step into in a few hours. I was too excited to think about anything, just try not to act like [...]
