From these interviews, these guys think the same. We are so much more akin than I thought. Games are media. They are designed. They are crafted.
Those are heavy duty words. They are something precise located in a specific region of my mind. Once upon a time, Troy asked, what is Design? Capital D. It’s that thoughtful arrangement with intent to make something happen. Each thing is selected with purpose, and what it may evoke or provoke is not haphazard – but planned. That is design. Troy, you are a designer. You do this all the time. These people – these former students of mine, are designers.
Craft is another word. Like design there is an intentionality to it, but it evokes the notion of care and done with one’s own hands. They want this. All of them. All of us.
Make something.
Say, “I did this. This is the work of my hands. I made it to make a change in you – to change the world.”
