[RMVX] Ace Academy: Practice through Roleplay

[Titanhex]

The Setting and Lore are pretty flexible and open. The rules of magic are only established so people are on the same page and in the same playing field. They're rather minor, and should be easily interpreted.

The same goes for our open setting with it's many places, races, and technology levels. It allows people a both a guideline for creating and puts people on the same page, while allowing creative freedom.

As for the time requirements, you only need 45 minutes a day, or 2 hours a day over Fri/Sat/Sun. The minimum work requirement is make 3 short games over a period of 4 months. Most the work for those games are already laid out, so you're mainly focusing on building skill sets.

But you are always welcome to sit back and watch the first semester to get an idea of what students go through, then join us on the second semester! We'll look forward to seeing you!

Also thanks for the help. You'll always have a place in Ace Academy for you c:

Just a heads up, Ace Academy will be mentioned at Denver Comicon in June during a large panel on Game Development. It's hosted by the International Game Developer's Association. It'll be part of my speech on video games as a form of art, expression, and story-telling.

Hey, this is the last weekend before Monday rolls around. Just a reminder, Monday is when Enrollment starts for the Ace Academy project, so make sure you got everything you need.

This is on a separate forum, the RPG Maker VX Ace net forum, but this thread is the proof of concept that others may discuss and talk about the merits of the program. Thanks! I'm still looking at this thread and forum, so remember to post your interest, concerns or comments here too.

Will you contact all teachers/students when it begins? I enrolled as a teacher but was not sure if I was accepted.

 

[Titanhex]

How did you enroll? I can't find any sort of teacher application around.

Of course, Teacher enrollments don't begin until 4 days after student enrollment ends, and student enrollment doesn't begin til tomorrow.

The enrollment posts can be found here:

Hey, just letting people know I've opened up Student Enrollment now. Please submit your enrollment on the Ace Academy forum in the correct post.

 

[Titanhex]

Hey all. I understand that there is a lot of brand new people to RPG Maker who are interested in Ace Academy.

Unfortunately they may not meet the minimum requirements to join Ace Academy.

Well fear not. I will be livestreaming a lesson on Conditional Branches, Switches and Variables. The video will later be uploaded to Youtube.

This lesson should help people get to where they need to be in RPG Maker, and allow them to join Ace Academy knowing the minimum requirements.

Join me at:

6pm MST on June 4th

Hey all. We're on day 5 of Student Enrollment for Ace Academy. Check out the concept and consider joining in on the excitement Ace Academy has to offer.

 

[C-C-C-Cashmere (old)]

Oh right. I enrolled for an interest thread or something. I'll have a look at the actual RMVXAce.net subforum. It's probably easier to look at from there.

 

[Titanhex]

Oh the headcount thread. Yeah, we got a much more organized forum right here:

Hey everyone, the deadline for submission is being extended to June 18th, 5PM MST to better balance all the houses. Enjoy the extended application time and get your app in. Also check out the main forums.

Good luck!

(This will not affect teacher enrollments or semester start date)

 

[Bukarett]

Great, that'll be extended, because I would love to join! I'm so excited about this! 

 

[Alkorri]

This looks interesting, but I definitely know I don't have the requirements because I can't do Switches and Variables yet, and I am pretty sure I can't pass the Chicken Egg test

I'm just curious, though. I thought people learn through forum roleplaying but I'm seeing all these maps, magics and stats which made me wonder. Do students actually learn through 'games' created by teachers? If so, how do they interact with other students and teachers? Apologies if I missed something.

 

[Titanhex]

Hey everyone, teacher apps are open and we're looking for "Teachers"

Remember, Teachers don't actually teach anything in RPG Maker. They are the magic teachers of the Academy. It's a great way to be a part of the committees, influence students and the story, roleplay and help the Academy.

If you're concerned about the requirements, check out my Tutorial series that will get you started in less than a day, allowing you to join in no time!

The last day of extended enrollments is the 18th, which is coming up soon. Be sure to join if you're interested in being a student!

Hey! When does the next semester applications begin? This is an awesome idea and I hope it's working well!
