    If I want to make a 3D game on a gameboy (the 3D part being an essential part of the experience) I simply can’t. That’s a technical limitation of my art that has nothing to do with the art style

      I think the point they’re making is that you don’t HAVE to make a 3D game, that’s not required for art. If you can’t make an artistic experience out of something without access to 3D, it’s not the hardware that’s limiting you, it’s your artistic vision.

        If I can’t make my art how I want it it’s not my art

        My point is that you can be limited in your art by the technology of your time

        Imagine giving Bach a synthesiser, or a caveman clean white paper and colour pencils

          Imagine giving Bach a synthesiser

          what’s funny about this is that there are two existing ideas at play here that already came to pass.

          We can listen to “Switched on Bach” which is what it sounds like when you play Bach songs through a synthesizer.

          Also, there are lots of ways to manipulate the timbre of an organ, which is what Bach actually played. So he was already playing the synthesizer of his era.

          Your argument defeats itself. Was Bach’s art not “his art” because he didn’t have a synthesizer? He worked with the medium he preferred and used the tools available and made his art fit within them, he made people feel incredible things that are still relevant today despite not because of the instruments he was limited to, that’s what an artist does.

      Ping pong, but you use a couple of Game Boys as the paddles. It’s still considered the highest fidelity game played with a Game Boy…

      …and in low light conditions you can turn the back lights on.

      I guess if we are getting nitpicky, how is something that doesn’t support 3d a technical limitation of your art? it never supported it in the first place lol
