[casual_games] INPUT REQUESTED: 2010 IGDA Casual Game SIG Programs

[Bernard François]

Hi,

I agree on the podcast idea. It would be handy to listen to while on  
my way to somewhere. I think it should be combined with a forum to  
allow further discussion of the content.

> Greetings fellow Casual Game SIG members,

>

> Welcome to 2010!  As I'm sure you know, 2009 was a year of  

> tremendous change in the casual game industry.  2009 saw the rise of  

> social games and the iPhone market, dramatic changes in the price  

> structure of downloadables, and a variety of other key  

> developments.  As the industry changes, we want to make sure the SIG  

> is evolving our programs to meet your needs - both in terms of what  

> parts of the industry we're covering and in terms of how we're  

> covering them.

>

> So, to help us understand where we should be focusing our energy,  

> please tell us the following about our information/education programs:

>

> What kind of casual games would you like to see us focus on the  

> most: PC Downloadable Games, Social Games, Ad-Supported Web Games,  

> "Freemium" Browser Games, iPhone Games, Console Downloads, General  

> Mobile Games, something else? Feel free to pick multiple categories,  

> but if you can rank them it's very helpful.

> How would you like to see us facilitate discussion and education  

> around these issues: Regular voice chats/conference calls, Moderated  

> or unmoderated forums, Regular group text chats, Webinars (with  

> presentations), Quarterly print magazine, Edited webzine, Annual  

> White Paper, other ideas?  Again, multiple ideas are fine but a  

> ranking is very helpful.

> Are there advocacy programs you would like to see us work on as  

> well?  If so, would you like to see us focus on: Royalty Reporting,  

> Developer Credits, Fair Contract Practices, Quality of Life, other  

> things?

> Please write back to the full mailing list with your thoughts, and  

> hopefully we can get a lively and spirited discussion going.  The  

> Steering Committee is eager to get great programming going for the  

> SIG, but we need you to help us figure out the priorities that are  

> most important to the community.  Your voice matters; please let it  

> be heard.

> Best wishes for an awesome 2010,
