Hi, This is a brilliant idea.
The problem is that there's no real form of advertising for these games and some of them are absolutely fantastic and a ton of work goes into these games. If audiogames.net did go and represent the gaming community then that would be a helpful boost I'm sure. -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: 30 November 2009 17:23 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] Promotion was:Screen Readers and Games Hello Tom. This is unfortunately true. For the last few years I've gone to sight village each summer. This is basically the uk Vi tech show, where companies, charities and organizations wrent stalls and show off their stuff, while lots of people turn up and look. Not once though have I seen any accessible games mentioned there at all. I believe Azabat had a stall one year, ---- but they certainly don't go frequently, ---- nor is azabat any kind of a good representation of what audio games are like in general. this does give me an idea though. Maybe I should see if I could go to site village as a representative of the gameaccessibility special interest group and audiogames.net, ---- to do a general show off of accessible games. I wouldn't really need any more than my laptop (which has lots of games on it anyway), a plug, and possibly a net connection if i wanted to show off something online like sound rts or Che martin's games, ---- and using a double sterrio jack I could wear one pear of headphones, participants another, and thus I could give instructions. The show is not until next July, --- -but I'm not sure how late you have to book your places, or what you have to pay to the organizers to get a stall. Maybe though I'll research this and suggest the idea to Richard and Sander. While it might not be ideal, ---- it'd certainly be a good way of reaching a lot of Vi people who may or may not have access to the net, ---- and sinse I would be representing audiogames.net, ---- I could show several different types of game depending upon what peoples interest was. hmmm, I'll look in to that one and see where it goes. Beware the grue! Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
