> it's gotta be mainstream but also provide something that focuses on
disability as a strength...

Sorry - I'm haven't had a chance to learn about the accessibility-idol
project. But just a couple of ideas that maybe can help the contestants in
their first steps:
 
Thanks Amit! So the competition will be live at GDC in March and we have 5
very seasoned industry veterans (We have coverages from Ultima to the Madden
game series) who have accepted the challenge to make a mainstream game
accessible for gamers with mobility disabilities. So it's not a project in
as much a "reality show" style session to hopefully pack people in to see
what the famous people are doing messing about with accessibility! So
basically what they need from us is information on how a gamer who is
quadriplegic plays games and then it's up to them to design something
awesome. They'll just be presenting designs rather than finished projects
(too little time and they are very busy people) but it will be a game
show/reality show presentation where one of them will be named....

The GDC site for the session is at:

We're hoping this will bring a lot of attention to the issue of game
accessibility for mainstream games.
 
Michelle
