[games_access] Publishing Work on Accessible Level Editing

[Eelke Folmer]

Hi Colin,

It makes a big difference whether you submit to a game conference or
to traditional HCI conferences. Academic Game conferences in my
opinion are still up and coming. Its also kind of hard to compete with
fancy game engines and cool new technologies for creating games,
though it is easier to get in touch with industry. The domain of HCI
is more established and you are bound to get more constructive
feedback on your work. The past few years several game related papers
have been presented at HCI related conferences.

I can recommend:
http://www.sigaccess.org/assets08/ (deadline already passed) or
http://www.chi2009.org/  (september 19th)

Cheers Eelke
