The Cargo Cult of Game Mechanics (Destiny)

by Quirel, Friday, January 16, 2015, 01:00 (3401 days ago) @ Cody Miller

Name an "indie" game that has significantly advanced the artform or been extremely influential for the better.

Define "Significantly advanced the artform".

Is the advancement measured in meters? Seconds? Meters per second? Is there even an SI unit to measure the progress of art? Has the advancement of art been quantized? If one artist claims they have advanced the artform, can this be independently proven by other laboratories? Does the advancement of art have a journal, and is it subject to peer review?
