Hi Knick.
that is an idea, though reselling is also quite a pain to setup as well,
particularly sinse in the past when it's been tried with audiogames it
hasn't worked out well.
All the best,

There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast
and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even
the archmaesters of the citadel can dream.

An alternative is to set up contacts with resellers around the world who
go to the conventions already but often they take commission.

Hi Tom.
Conventions might be problematic, partiuclarly sinse they only cover
certain geographical regions meaning even if the money was raised to send
someone the return on new interest probably wouldn't be worth it.
I do wonder however if there is an alternative approach.
As I have said before, some of my first pc games were the ones I
discovered through whitestick.co.uk, web games like Legend of the green
dragon and ashes of angels. I found out about those thanks to a small
one line paragraph in the rnib braille advertising leaflet with the
silly name of "welcome to a world of"
I'm not sure where that add came from, indeed Tom Lorimer the
whitestick.co.uk webmaster said he didn't know about it, however it does
make me wonder about the uses of promotional literature, particularly for
people or organizations who might have reach to people who are only just
learning their way around computers.
I wonder therefore if it would be worth creating a general audiogames
introduction, and paying the smaller amount of money (compared at least
to sending someone to a convention), it'd take to get it recreated in
braille and large print as well as electronically, and then sending
copies of that! to various organizations, conventions etc, for people to
pick up, find on a desk etc.
such a thing could even be translated into different languages as well.
All the best,
Dark.

Hi Josh,
I agree that going to blind conventions is probably the best way to
market accessible games to the blind community. Unfortunately, we come
back to the problem of money. A lot of audio game developers are blind
themselves, are probably only getting SSI for income, so do not have a
lot of money to spend on airfare, hotel rooms, and everything else
required for extensive travel to and from various convention centers.
That means while it might be a good way to promote a product the game
developer still needs to raise enough cash to actually go to said
conventions in the first place.
Cheers!

the ACB and nfb conventions and bring them to the attention of many
