[games_access] Introducing Ananse Productions

[Barrie Ellis]

Hi Kwasi,

Very good post, and good points. Have just reblogged about it here: http://gameaccessibility.blogspot.com/2011/01/angry-birds-suggestions-for.html.

I would recommend taking a peak through the links here: http://gameaccessibility.blogspot.com/2010/11/gasig-top-10-ways-to-improve-game.html

Certainly, it's something that needs pulling together. It's a big and somewhat daunting job to bring together full standards for accessible game design, but there's such strong foundations, it's certainly not an impossibility to cover a lot of what is important.

Apparently I tried to send this before I was officially on the list!

Hi,

My name's Kwasi Menah and I started Ananse Productions ( http://www.ananseproductions.com ), a company working on games for people outside of the normal "gamer" demographic. I wrote a post on Angry Birds and Accessibility ( http://www.ananseproductions.com/angry-birds-and-accessibility-standards/ ) which I also cross posted on Gamasutra (it's currently a featured blog post!). Sandra Uhling's comment in the Gamasutra post pointed me to this SIG.

I'm definitely excited to help out where possible. I'm currently heads down on my first game, a blind accessible puzzle game for iDevices. But I'll poke back in when its out the door.

-Kwasi
