- my dog is not very {clr1}b{clr1}ig, but she's just big enough to get in the way
- sometim{clr1}e{clr1}s she gets cranky, and decides she needs to sit in my lap while i'm working
- but she doesn't kno{clr1}w{clr1} how to lie down like most lap dogs do
- she sits up straight, and wobbles around, so that i have to {clr1}h{clr1}old her in place
- it blocks my view, and i have to type with just one hand, and i can't move my arm very far
- that makes it hard t{clr1}o{clr1} make a game
- but wh{clr1}y{clr1} should it be that i require a full view, or two hands, to make a game?
- why sh{clr1}o{clr1}uld i need my full range of motion just to make art?
- why sho{clr1}u{clr1}ld i need intense training, or knowledge, or resources and advanced tools just to express myself?
- this isn't like the older d{clr1}a{clr1}ys, where access to these things is hard to come by
- but there a{clr1}r{clr1}e still those for whom access is very limited
- or whose bodies don't allow them to work in th{clr1}e{clr1} same way that other people do
- is it fair that they shouldn't be included in this process?
- because of money?
- because of access?
- because of their hands or eyes?
- games are art, art with which you can interact, and art is for everyone
- i always see people asking, how do i get started making games? and the answer is usually simple: just make a game
- there are so many paths and ways to do it now
- but even so, it can still be hard
- and even when it gets finished, it can be hard to get that piece of art seen
- the way for us all to advance games is to find ways to help each other make them
- help the people who are new, or have different education, or access, or abilities
- support each others' works, don't criticize when it isn't
w{clr1}a{clr1}nted
- promote the people making art you like, promote them
{clr1}r{clr1}elentlessly, even when you don't know them
- the more an ar{clr1}t{clr1}ist's work is seen, the more their confidence grows
- and people making games, whether they consider {clr1}i{clr1}t or not, no matter what role they play in the production, are all artists
- everyone who expre{clr1}s{clr1}ses themself creatively in any way, even a child making a macaroni necklace, is an artist
- don't denigrate someone for making things that aren't immediate{clr1}l{clr1}y "impressive"
- to make anything at all and share it w{clr1}i{clr1}th the world requires immense concentration and courage
- to share that piece of yoursel{clr1}f{clr1} with the world, even if it was done on a whim
- w{clr1}e{clr1} are all artists
