[games_access] Introduction

[Greg Rahn]

Hi All,
My name is Greg Rahn and I'm a newbie here. I discovered this sig as I  
was doing research for a presentation I am doing at the Casual Games  
Conference this Friday in Seattle. http://seattle.casualconnect.org/

My session started out as Designing Audio Concurrently With Game  
Design. (as opposed to "hey let's add sound to our game now that it's  
done"). I came across accessibility, and after learning about all that  
is going on around accessibility in games, I have expanded my talk to  
include this. It sort of of swung the pendulum even further making my  
talk more like,  Designing Audio AS Game Design...

Anyway, I've culled thru some of your archives and have learned some  
things eg; "sight disabled" rather than "blind" etc...
I'm excited by all of this and hopefully I can help raise some  
awareness about accessibility in the Casual Game space.

I'll let you know how it goes. If any of you happen to be attending,  
be sure to stop by and say hi.

btw...nice work on Terraformers Thomas.

Cheers,

Greg
