The response to the GTA 6 leaks showed that the games industry could afford to show players how videogames are actually made. It'd be great if that could always be the case, and maybe making games more like DVDs could solve that.
, as well as standard fare like two commentary tracks, a look at how the soundtrack was composed, and production notes.
Imagine, if you will, a game that came with features like those! Imagine playing the central set piece of a game you loved, then being able to go into the main menu and queue up a 10-minute feature condensing how the level came together. Or a commentary track with a game director and composer about figuring out the unique soundscape of a project.
This kind of access to any behind-the-scenes knowledge in games is nearly unprecedented to the point that making games just seems like invoking the dark arts. We can’t entirely disprove that either, but maybe a stone the size of aleak is enough to cause some ripples and standardize greater accessibility to developer insights into games so that we can clear that up.
Games deserve better literacy and understanding, something that could be aided by a willing community of developers. At the same time, there’s no moral imperative to divulge every last secret about how a game is made. Producing the work I’m calling for would definitely require means that could be beyond many’s capabilities, and I’m not so callous as to demand anyone spread themselves thin for what I’ll admit are selfish desires.
