Is making a game an art or a science?

First let's start with something, what is art?

What defines something as art?

And how do you differentiate art from science?

Both. You use science to make art.

Is making a movie art?

What if the director treats it like art and pours his soul into it, but the actors and writers don't give a fuck about it?

Not an argument.

Are you mentally challenged or something? I'm not even making an argument yet, I'm asking questions in order to structure a correct answer or argument to the predicament.

It's an artistic vision made real through an understanding of the scientific framework it's based around. Like cooking

>>379317926
cooking isn't art. art by definition isn't made just to be violently destroyed moments after.

Both considering shit like painting frescoes have a science to them

You can approach game design with pure artistic intent, seeking to create something beautiful purely for the sake of its beauty, or that elicits an emotional or thoughtful response from the player interacting with it.

And you can put aside such concerns and focus solely on creating a mechanically engaging experience based on documented principles of game design as a field of study.

But most likely you'll be doing a bit of both.
