Rising exposure
Games
experience through gaming mechanisms
Asset and content generation are climbing fast toward automation, while the design of how a game feels lags behind.
Game work builds experience out of rules, art, sound, code and story, then tunes how it feels to play. AI now produces assets, dialogue, test variations and boilerplate code, so the content pipeline is getting cheaper fast. Designing the loop, the feel, the reason to keep playing, that craft core is moving toward the machine more slowly. Exposure is rising, but authorship of the experience still holds.
