The art department of a game has to closely work with their coders to assure a game functions the way it's suppose too. Not only mechanically, but also visually. 3D models in Skyrim, these things require bones and structures for the coders to work with. In this Chibi game, there are layers of parts that come together that require assembly to work.
Even music and writing, it's all a part of the game making process. Skyrim's music takes part by working with the lead developer to ensure that when you go into battle, you know it because it's been coded that way.
Codeing takes a back seat in things, it's all under the hood of a car. Where as the sound and art could be considered the chassis. It's all a part of game making. Without it, Skyrim would just be...well, you wouldn't even be able to navigate the world normally because there would be no visuals.
But the art department is it's own separate thing, most of the time consisting of entirely different people with different set of skills. So all you said is that a game has visuals, sound/music. What you're trying to say is that there's correlation in paper production vs artists drawing on it, because a piece of paper is part of the end result. ???Bruh???
I can give you an example with correlation. There's correlation between the wood production market and door making market. Companies benefit from selling wooden doors, so they need wood. So WOOD companies that produce wooden materials are going to benefit from selling the DOOR company their wood. So there's correlation between them, because they rely on each other. But I'm talking about the market, not a correlation between actually literally making doors VS actually literally chopping wood and producing materials from it. There is 0 correlation there.
I can come to my own conclusion, and maybe this is what you were going for but I can't quite grasp it from your text, that if you're your own artist and programmer, then making a game is going to be easier with the art department, because you don't need to explain anyone anything, since you can directly 'implement' your art into your game. None of this proves the existence of correlation in game making and being an artist, when one person is working on a project. You can be a great artist using certain software or IRL tools, but learning to use a game-making platform is going to be as hard as if you had 0 artistic skills, and vice versa.
A good game does not have to have good graphics, sound or writing. You can make a game with a primitive/retro style of graphics and it will still be a great game. Better than most games with modern graphics. The only thing that is always necessary for making a game - is coding it to work properly, balance, lack of bugs, compatibility and whatever it takes to be pleasant to experience. Everything else only needs to subjectively fit the style.
He didn't even explain himself. That was the main thing. If somebody called me a maggot, I'd like to know why. Just going around and calling people names. Sounds like they are on a high horse too me. Sounds like they don't appreciate the work put into the game.
Exactly, he didn't explain himself. Factually, all he did was express his opinion that Uriel is better at art than at programming(in the context of making games). Nothing more. It was you, who perceived his message as downplaying. It was you, who brought a negative context to his message from your own mind. You created this negativity from jumping to conclusions. Why? Why did you assume that? Why did you jump to those conclusions? Why can't you perceive a comment for what it is, rather than making things up, because of a frame of reference in a comment?
Are you from twitter? all implications intended.
Maybe he does know better. But spouting off things just because you can, doesn't mean you should
Everyone's free to express themselves. This is partially why this forum is here. He's not pushing his opinion on UrielManX7 without being asked. This is a public place for everyone to write what they want as long as they are following the rules. "should"? well who's going to stop them? It's not like he wrote straight up misinformation or trolling. That would be a reason to discredit him. But that didn't happen. When I read his message, it did not seem like he was saying that Uriel is a bad game dev. Maybe he's actually an impatient fanboy that wants Uriel to speed up his progress.
