| "I think that, apart from how other people may view it, I personally see what I make as being a product for sale, and not so much as a work of art. When I make a game, it's full of my own expression but ultimately the objective of the game is to make the user happy, and one thing that I'm required to do is not only create my games but also put them in the market at a time when I think people will purchase them. So while a game may contain some of my own personal expression its ultimate objective is not to convey that expression so much as to make people happy." ~shigeru miyamoto, may 16th 2003, c&vg |

I most definitely consider Game Design an Art form. Art, to me, is the connection of two people- the 'creator' and the 'end user'. There are thoughts, ideas and experiences embedded in games that are offered to the end-user. How they process these emotions and interpret it logically as they play through depends on the user, but if the 'message' is passed through successfully, and the connection is made, then the user experiences happiness. At least, that's the way it is for me, as a gamer, a musician and a writer. I value my audience's opinions on my work because I want to learn to better myself at communicating my thoughts and emotions through a medium.
While expression is a huge part of the game of Game Design and making music and what have you, there are certain limitations, such as designing your game to appeal to a mass audience. The way Miyamoto has shown his skills working within these limitations leads me to believe that he is a creative and artistic genius. Making people happy is all part of the experience.

And what is the original question, that everyone asks you? |

Of course it's an art. You start with a concept and create a new world just like painters, writers...etc. It's art that plays out at 60fps.
