Hear me out: If you are programming something with the intention to evoke a specific feeling or express an idea, you are an artist.
I don't like how programmers are often left outside of creative discussion.
For 2 decades there was not a single art file in dwarf fortress and i will fight whatever who tells me there is not artistic intention there since the beginning.
Programming is a tool. Game programmers use that tool to create... The game.
