Hey Tom - hope you don't mind me emailing you off list man. It's looking fairly likely that I'm going to be interviewed and demonstrating some accessible and mainstream titles for the In Touch feature being discussed. With your permission, I'd like to show off a bit of MOTA. Thought I'd better check thak that you'd be happy for people to hear it in action at this beta stage, and also that there's no chance that rebroadcasting the samples you've used won't get you into any hot water just in case The Man is listening hehe. If it's a go, feel free to send me over notes on any parts or features of the game that you're particularly proud of and I'll do my best to make sure that they get an airing.
Btw, seeing as you're stateside you might not have heard of In Touch, though I'm sure you've heard of the BBC. In Touch is, to be truthful, a bit crap lol. It's a weekly program that has information and features on anything and everything to do with blindness pretty much. It's all a bit dated and dull to listen to to my ears, but for some reason they do have a huge listenership (a couple million regulars if memory serves), mostly made up of teachers/parents/people who for whatever reason want to stay in the know about happenings and products that might have some impact on VI peoples lives. Having spent a paragraph slating it, I'm keen to go on a feature like this to spread the word and hopefully liven things up a bit. Seems to me that a few Grandma's and Grandpa's might want to buy presents, people who work in access technology might need a refresher on the specialised scene, and teachers might think that gaming is a better violent outlet for little Jonny so they can stop him from playing staple the cat to the school fence lol! Let me know what you make of the idea... Cheers Scott --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
