Art and creativity



With video games today, publishers try to add as much content as possible. Even though they try, it is not enough for people to be satisfied. This is where the modding community comes in and changes things up. Players figure out how to make custom artwork for in the game. This art work is usually not so good, but some people have so much talent, they end up making their own games. An example of this is a game called Arma, a gentleman created a whole new version of the game that turned a war game into a zombie survival game. One can look at his work and call it art because of the skills it took to create something from nothing. Below is an comparison of the two games.

This video shows that even though the game is from the same game engine, it has differences that allow for a whole new experience.
