The first episode of “The Lion’s Song” is free on both Steam and itch.io and concerns itself with Wilma’s attempt to compose a new piece for an upcoming concert. At a surface level it’s a point n click adventure delivered in an episodic style that was popularised by Telltale Games. Mi’pu’mi have tackled precisely this issue in their debut game The Lion’s Song. It’s at this point that any attempt to explore concepts like imagination tend to break down, unless they are in the hands of a skilled individual. Where metaphors and symbolism can often work to convey deeper truths in a condensed form, there are times when the ideas being portrayed are too self-referential to hold any meaning. Yet this is not entirely true, art is more often the consequence of drawing from and interpreting ones surroundings, uniqueness comes from the idiosyncratic viewpoint of the artist and the way they weave their observations and experiences into the pieces they create.Īrt dallies with interpreting itself, from novels such as Irving Stone’s The Agony and the Ecstasy to Kazuo Ishiguro’s An Artist of the Floating World however the abstract and deeply psychological process that is an artist’s inspiration and their concerns with their arts reception is incredibly hard to conceptualise in any concrete form. The discourse that centres around inspiration explains it as though it were derived from some internal wellspring. Art is often synonymous with creativity, and is seen as the emergence of something new out of nothing.
