Why is this called NotGames? Isn't games part of art? If a game turns into art that game is no longer a game? Do we have to create a new concept for this type of media to be taken seriously in the world of art? Is it wrong to compare Super Mario to The Path?
@SunShamon While you have very interesting thoughts there, I think they're just trying to push the boundaries to what we know as games in general. Creating a game that is not a game, therefore expanding the meaning of games.
@Jurianug what you mean creating a game thats not a game. How can you expand the meaning of games by making none. If this sorta media whats to be different from "games" they shouldn't be called games in the 1st place. If i make a square and i say that square is no square im i expanding the meaning of a square?
By claiming that this type media isn't games people will be able to see it differently but this will mislead people making they think that other games are just games.
@SunShamon back in the days before the "Art" turned up, we had a word for games that were not games, they were called, "Shovelware". This is a Shovelware festival. Unjoy.
Between all my wonders and confusion i am really glad about the initiative taken.
And wished i could go...xD
