Games that are basically visual novels / walking sims, done well: Boku no Natsu Yasume, Yume Nikki, a bunch of other stuff I'm not experienced enough to list...

When something is legitimately and straightforwardly a "video game" though, it becomes a lot harder to call it "art" imo. That said, Rez.

Games that reject "gaminess" and aspire to something like "interactive software art": Noby Noby Boy, Everything, LSD...

Games that are aware of themselves as games, but make a lasting statement by contemplating/subverting that gaminess: Earthbound, Undertale, Disco Elysium, Soulslikes...

very loose but generally I’ll keep three documents for any project I’m working on:

1. A dump of all my ideas for the project.
2. An ordered, bulleted concrete to-do list.
3. A “journal” to log completed work, moving items over from doc 2 and adding any notes.
