Conventions have disappeared like smoke for a new culture, and the game moves towards the self-goal of creativity, towards mastery over limitations.

Animal games and its principles

The animal was the first to lay down the principle of the game.

Animals, including humans, have been playing for as long as they have existed.

Games take on a competitive nature to help them survive by developing skills and social connections. In order for the game to be fair and productive, rules arise.

Thus, play is a principle, an instinct inherent in animals.

The original scheme of the animal was the framework on which generations hung more and more new discoveries that they found in their animal nature.

And the scheme became more and more complicated and reached its peak at the birth of arcades, platformers, RPGs and shooters.

The developers of these periods wrote the game in its full form, both external and internal.

The game was assembled, and its internal state was expressed.

But despite their enormous skill, they still did not complete the idea of the animal:

Indulging instincts in code.

And it is a mistake to believe that their time was the brightest flowering in media and that the younger generation needs to strive for this ideal at all costs.

This idea is false.

It draws young forces away from the modern flow of life, thereby disfiguring them.

Their bodies fly on airplanes, and art and life are covered with old robes.

Therefore, they cannot notice the new beauty in our modern life.

For they live on the beauty of past decades.

That's why Walking Simulators, Simulators of poor stones, Experimental games, Art games, Not games and Black Screen were incomprehensible.

These designers threw off the robes of the past and stepped out into modern life and found new beauties.

And I say:

That no industry dungeons can withstand the coming time.

Concepts move and are born, and we make new and new discoveries.

And what is open by us cannot be closed.

And it is absurd to force our time into the old concepts of the past.

The technical side of our time is moving further and further forward, and games are trying to move further and further back.

That is why all those people who follow their time are higher, greater and more valuable.

Fig garden

Our time of the 21st century is multifaceted, many conflicting truths are being fought.

A shopping area is imagined, where the crowd looks like collectible figurines that have come out of gaming stores onto the street of experimentalism.

They laugh, they are indignant, they are surprised that everything is no longer similar, entertaining. And they rejoice when they see old games, franchises, posters, art books, retro console cartridges, keychains, gamepads or joysticks.

At the head of the junk square are experienced sellers-authorities, offering high-quality goods, skillfully woven with aesthetics, taste and fun.

And others said more simply: «Pure entertainment and nothing more.»

Young people flock to these sales festivals.

Covering their heads with a philistine cap, young people flaunt themselves on holidays in the garden of industry genres!

And the maestros are happy, because the tombstone was erected on modern young souls. Walks were taken with young people through the garden of industry. Action, immersion, fun, fantasy, replayability — everything was here and seemed brilliant.

The cessation of pain seemed like joy, in countless transverse plexuses the nodes of the branches of the skill tree converged, but the authorities immediately tried to dispel this impression and explain that under the muslin of design everything comes out differently — «diversity».

And it
