[gcompris-devel] Hello there!

[Chris Puttick]

And I can probably get a graphic artist too. See
http://www.dennissimcott.com - he's training to be an illustrator, so
someone come up with ideas, I'll persuade him to put in the time...

Cheers

Chris

I would like to make gcompris more fun for children with adding other
characters but the difficulty here is to find a graphics artist willing
to do it. 

Then progamming moving caracters speaking and so on is a little bit
complex and usually bring nothing to the core education value of the
game.

My personal taste is that since it is costy and complex, let's focus on
the core educational. That's less fun for the kids but we are not paid
by the parents, we are selected by the teachers.

My view is that since the parents buy games, they expect to see there
kids spend time on it whatever the educational interrest.

Schools have no money anyway so content creator do not focus on their
needs. That where is our 'market'.

Bruno.
