Many Web 2 and Web 3 titles are high-key masterpieces. Experts even call gaming the most superb form of contemporary art. At the same time, this industry plays a significant part in reshaping other creative spheres, including music, cinematography, writing, and illustration. We have covered the correlation between the first form of art and gaming. So, let’s highlight the three other ones.
The Mechanics
To define the power of gaming, we’ll start with figures. This is an incredibly massive industry with a current valuation of $385 billion, supposed to reach over $522 billion by 2027. In the USA alone, 268.698 people work in this sector, and about 3.220 billion gamers stay active worldwide.
Being this big, gaming is one of the youngest art that unites multiple forms of traditional creative expression. For instance, even the most straightforward title embraces illustration, music, sculpture (3D modeling), and writing (narrative arcs).
While conventional arts, even contemporary ones, have limiting traditions, movements, and genres, gaming empowers creators to make mistakes, experiment, combine forms, and find new ways of self-expression without boundaries. Players get attached to this freshness and subconsciously demand it in other fields.
Cinematography
Cinematography is the closest form of art for gaming. It also has music, visuals, and plot. With VR options, it can even be immersive. The difference is that, in games, users rule the processes, while in movies, they can’t make a change. The exceptions are interactive movies, where spectaculars can make decisions. Meanwhile, this genre also derives from novella-like game titles.
Funny enough, years ago, games were derived from movies. When some film was released, it was followed by a title. As a rule, such projects were low quality and used mainly to promote the movie. Nowadays, however, films come after games. We can name “The Angry Birds Movie”, “Sonic the Hedgehog”, “Pokemon Detective Pikachu”, “Mortal Kombat”, and “Warcraft”.
Thus, gaming reshapes the industry, building a new genre for players. At the same time, it influences movies on the whole. For instance, computer-generated graphics (CGI) is involved in the production process, narratives become more interactive and dynamic, game elements, such as levels, are depicted in plots, and the quality of visuals is boosted. In other words, gaming influences both cinematography’s technical and conceptual sides.
Writing
Every older generation claims that youngsters read less, spending more time with their smartphones or computers. And, though the tendency may be true, writing remains. With storytelling at its core, this art adapts to clip thinking and becomes vital to gaming. There are narration-focused titles, such as “Child of Light” which can be described as a long poem.
Meanwhile, metaverses introduce the opportunity of immersive libraries that can be incredibly fit for environmental-oriented GenZ representatives. Also, titles boost players’ creativity, motivating them to write fanfiction and introduce new intriguing stories. As a result, gaming doesn’t let writing die out; it popularizes it and adapts to contemporary needs.
Illustration
The illustration is loudly influenced by gaming! Firstly, multiple creators draw fun art related to their fav titles. Secondly, many visuals get 3D-like in games. Thirdly, artworks embrace the aesthetics of titles. Last but not least, Web3 gaming boosts NFT adoption and introduces players to the concept of the non-fungible token. So, more users get into acquiring works of art while artists get the opportunity to monetize their digital illustrations and even real-world paintings without risking copyright rights.
Conclusion
Being a snatched combo of various art forms, gaming changes how we perceive them. It influences their technical side and encourages more players to dive deeper into them. Thus, gaming is more than a separate art, influencer, or guide. Gaming is a game-changer in 21st-century entertainment.
