[game_edu] Gamma IV Kickstarter

[D. Michelle Hinn]

I wish I would have known this earlier -- the Game Accessibility SIG  
tried to help with a cross promotion, as this year's competition is  
for one button games, which is a HUGE category of games accessible  
for the disabled and we created a guide because several of us have  
done a lot of research in this area but we never got much response  
from them. This was a few months ago.

We're swamped right now raising funds to get to us to SXSW (that  
starts in the middle of GDC...rrrr...) because they've given us a  
HUGE booth for free to showcase accessible games but our costs to  
just get us there are crazy. But this is something we normally would  
have gladly helped find sponsorship for from within the disability  
community but I don't know how much time we have left to help since  
we're trying to raise our own funding. But if they were interested I  
could put a late night in to send this out to the members of the  
accessibility and disability communities that work on and/or play  
these games the most. Let me know if there's interest and we could  
figure out what to say in the funding call. We have a pretty huge  
list collected at this point!!
