Hello Reader,
This is my first blog ever, and I'm going to use it to chronicle my thoughts about video game design, particularly about advancing video game design as a means of expression. Currently I see video game design as a craft, but not art (with a few exceptions). I hope to explain my views in more detail soon, and I'll probably have another post before anyone even knows this blog exists.
The title, "Emotive Deficiency" represents what I see as the main problem of video games in their current state. I hope that by discussing this issue, I will enable others to think about how game design can be approached as an expressive problem, rather than an engineering problem. I am an engineering student, however, so my analysis of art and expression may be a little scientific. Hopefully I can provide a bit of the perspective we need to foster this new medium of Game Design.
