The Gaming Art Engine
By Jacob Malewitz
Part 1
If you call games, call your civilization. Play with your heritage. Play
with your tribe. You can go with the Celts if you are a European, or play with
the Chinese if you have asian ancestory. There is room for respect here: all
cultures should and can be respected in gaming.
Ask for more from your family. Families must support gamers; we are not
always gamers, but we remain with the addiction, with the power, and with the
knowledge.
Can you call games for money? Gaming is power; gaming teaches; strategy
is time, time is saved, money is saved -- money is spent, things are
remembered. It’s hard to play any game for money but it can be possible,
especially in the days of chess tournaments and new game boards. Every time a
new game is created, weatlh is spread.
Can you call games for learning?
I would always call my civilization addiction, but far before PC there
was Nintendo.
You must call something against your best game. There is always an
option out: you will need this out. If you have a favorite game, why not call a
game against it? This balances you with money and power. You get to learn from
a new game, you get to demand more games, you get to spend money, and you get
to make money in different ways. You might finish college easier, or find work
to be less addicting and more demanding. Gaming can beat work: some people
simply cannot escape the job. The job is a calling, the game is a calling,
and food is a calling. All things should balance here, but they don’t.
How can you make money with the gaming engine?
The real engine to try would be the opposite of what you like. Say you
like chess: play hearts instead. Say you like to play Halo: play chess instead.
Say you like playing poker, or you like putting money down on magic the
gathering games. Why not create a game for power? This is always the best call,
and we must bring it up much. The best gamers design games, not just with the
mind, but with the pen and the board.
You can call depression against gaming. You can quit. You can give
it up, call it waste. There is not much money to be made in chess for the
majority of us. There is not much to do with cards but lose. Yet some gamers go
left and right, the brain in action.
How can you make money with art? Gaming is an art form. You are creating
art and taking a break from life.
The art of gaming is incredible. IT asks for much from you. Time and
effort. Therefore, gaming is not always a break.
Where next? Buy another game. Keep playing. Keep investing time into the
game. It will pay you back.
The Gaming Art Engine -- Battling Hell and Conquering the World -- Part
2
Where does the gaming art engine exist? This stand alone focuses on the idea of
battling hell and conquering the world with games. Games are power. Games are
money. Games are respect.
The best engines sell more copies and change things. Doom created Quake.
Civilization defined turn based strategy. Age of Empires introduced more
history and real time strategy. Playstations created gaming football, or at
least mastered it. The Wii allows you to golf in perfect motion. The X-Box
allowed Microsoft to edge the market on Playstation. Sega outdid itself too
much, went game, then went with art.
The game engine exists to entertain. Sometimes you get sick of watching and
want to act. You cannot just sit in front of your TV. I personally hate
Television. There are times I consider gaming waste too. This is all about
time; you can save time, you can burn time, and you can enjoy time. The best
engines are the originals. The best engines create money the market. You invest
with every game you buy. You invest in your mind and you might be able to one
day sell the game. Some games are worth more to be played than to be sold.
The game engine should bring you something. All this coding helps somehow. It
burns time. It saves you money. It allows you pleasure. Pleasure can be won.
Money can be won. This is all philosophy at this point, but you must dance with
philosophy. If you call too much, you simply must dance with philosophy.
Doom is an interesting game. Created by id, the game allows you to kill demons.
This sounds simple. You get a blaster, you get a soldier, and you get to travel
through demonic space. Doom is art. All games are art. If you play enough, you
are creating art. You are allowed to play the game your way, with your art, and
find ways to beat the engine. Doom is much like an arcade game -- you play it
too much you get nightmares and lose days of sleep.
Civilization came to me abut the same time as Doom. I preferred Civ. Less
nightmares. You get to control a civilization from its dawning to the time man
can reach space. This is a tough thing; I speak of this game much because it
pretty much taught me the PC. I knew very little about computers before I
played Civilization. This was early in gaming.
Age of Empires may not be the first real time strategy, but it allowed strategy
gaming to take a different course. Age of Empires allows gamers to win with
power; you build a military. It’s all weapons and death, right? Wrong: you
build a civilization and live with the fact you cannot make many allies. The
real world is like this, and the engine works in this format.
Where do you go next?
I would say gaming controls the PC. It allows us to invest money into
computers. This brings jobs. This is oddly sounding, but you must consider the
fact some of us learn computers simply to play games. I learned computers to
play games, then I began to find ways to make money on the computer. There are
many ways to make money off gaming, but you might value it for simply having
fun.
This is not the end of money, time, and effort spent on gaming.
Game Art Engine - How Many Games – Part 3
How many engines can you dance with? What is your forte?
You should dance with as many games as you can master.
When do you have too many games? It’s like having too many books, or
having too many drinks, or having too many comics.
It can be impossible to have too many games. Games are power. Games are
worth money. Games can sell high value, especially from small design companies.
I bet the original box and game of Doom or Civilization would be worth money,
if you kept it long enough.
Books and games are similar. It’s time waste. Time waste is not bad.
Books, drinks, and games can be similar. Sometimes you simply have to
give them away.
When do you have too many? Hording things is something gamers often do.
You might want six Pepsis a day, or a brand new boston market macaroni mix
every day, or a fresh cigarette once you step away from college. These can be
horded: there is nothing wrong with hording food.
There is nothing wrong with hording books.
Do you like shooting? Buy some shooting games. Buy Kill Zone. Buy Halo.
Buy Call of Duty. Spend money on the right first person shooter, namely the one
that lasts the longest or has the best multiplayer.
Do you like strategy? I always recommend civilization and Age of
Empires. Warcraft 2 and 3 are strong games for magical strategy. You can play
them endlessly, earn points, and be respected.
Do you like graphics? Go with a power computer. You might want to buy
too many computers or laptops along with your games. Yes, you must finance this
with work, but gaming can be very rewarding. If you want to play the best
games, you don’t always need awesome graphics.
Play the games with the best engines.
