[games_access] GDC 2008 SIG proposal

[Dimitris Grammenos]

Hello everyone!

Yes I'm alive... Sorry, but I've been traveling most of the time + managing
two large national projects + writing some EU proposals +++

Anyway, I'd be very happy to contribute in any of the sessions that you
think I can help. Richard, I would also like to participate in your 10 Key
points thing.

BTW if anyone needs something more provocative about GA we can use stuff
from my "Game Accessibility: Why Bother?" Gamasutra article. Actually an
edited version of it (entitled "Game Over?") will also appear in the User
Experience magazine of the Usability Professionals Association.

Now regarding Richard's question (if I'm preparing something for the GDC)
the answer is "maybe"... I had some ideas but up to now, but I did not have
any time to work on them (or to find someone else to help me). One had to do
with a demonstration of the Parallel Game Universes concept and the other
with "Game Over 3D".

Cheers,

Dimitris

Hi,

Mmm.... maybe the thing was working on today (10 Key Points thing) might be 
a good IGDA session.... I intend it to be a session a bit about 
*everything*-you-need-to-know-about-game-accessibility in 60 minutes (The 
Big Picture-sort-of-thing).

Anyone want to participate with me on this? Michelle, I put your name down 
with this one already since I guess there's a huge part for you in here as 
well?

Greets,

Richard
