I was searching for Driver related stuff on internet, and I came across this. There's more: He had created another portfolio (also outdated)

In the first one, he was yet developing Driv3r, while in the second one, he already completed it. Interesting also, that he mentions about two unpublished games. Is it mean that during the development of Driv3r, Reflections was also working on another games? And they were cancelled by Atari? Who knows...

There's also this, back in '99. But it's nothing way too useful.

He also created this website.

Yeh, I'm wondering what those 2 unpublished games are. I'm not sure but I think there was one called Monster Trucks by Reflections, which was never released. I don't know, maybe it was, I don't remember.

Oh and BTW, his sites looks crap.

I just found this!

Digital art about disability

On January 24, the Wolverhampton Art Gallery will exhibit a “moving digital sculpture” that will examine how disabled people move. The exhibit, created by disabled digital artist Simon McKeown, is called Motion Disabled and uses state-of-the-art digital motion-capture technology to animate five disabled people doing things like walking, using the phone, kickboxing, and chopping vegetables. The actors include web developer Steve Graham, mayor Frank Letch and Mat Fraser, an activist, actor, writer, musician and comedian. (He wrote, composed and starred in Thalidomide!! A Musical and co-hosts the BBC Ouch! Podcast).

While not about gaming per se—I don’t know if this project’s artist is the same Simon McKeown who worked for Reflections Interactive on Stuntman and the Driver series or not—Motion Disabled uses digital animation to pose some critical questions, as the artist points out: “[D]o we value difference? How do disabled people’s bodies fit into current versions of normality? And, is physical disability about to become Virtual?” In an interview with Dr. Paul Darke for the Outside Centre’s radio show, he said:

[T]he disabled people I grew up with—the disabled children that I grew up working with—were becoming a rarity, in effect. That the effects of screening at childbirth and the medical intervention if you like…in the future…you won’t be able to see how a disabled person walks because they won’t be in existence.
