Art Tips

art tips

don't call what you create "content". regardless of what it is. that's the devil talking. call it art, call it writing, call it music, call it analysis, call it editing, literally just call it what it is

I was going to put other things but oh my god please just don't call yourself a "content creator". you are a person you are making art / writing / music / etc you are an artist an author a musician

you are not an Image Generator For Clicks And Views. please. allow yourself to connect with your work by naming it properly and acknowledging yourself in kind

I think putting games like The Last of Us or other games that can only be distinguished as being “cinematic” forward as arguments for “games are art” is misguided at best. Because games like that don’t prove that games are art. They’re just proving that movies are art, again, with some gameplay in between.

If the only way to prove that a game is art is how well it can emulate film, you’re not proving games are art, you’re proving that games can be mediocre movies. A game can have a strong narrative without stopping the gameplay to turn into a movie, and the narrative can be expressed not only during but *through* its gameplay. And THAT would prove games are art, since it’s something that movies can’t do.

When you ask me for games that “feel” like they can be called art, I would much sooner put forward something like Hades or Psychonauts or Dark Souls.

Hello! I just wanted to say that I played Squidlit recently, and I enjoyed the game a lot. While I haven't played many game boy or game boy color games, I think you captured the style and feeling of those games very well! I really liked Skwit Skwot (GOD EMPEROR) and I thought the boss battles were really unique. Overall, I can't wait to try out your other games, and I'm excited for Squidlit 64's release!

Aww, thank you! It means a lot to me that you reached out.

Development for Squidlit 64 has been really wonky so far, but it’s chugging along! I should be able to get a new video out sometime in the coming weeks.
