Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Austin seems to have a bouquet ready. I wonder who it’s for...  

First off, I’m very sorry for the super late updates! I’m back after recovering from illness, and I’ve been doing quite a bit of work! We’re at about 25% completion!

So far, we’ve moved on to a brand new area, and things are getting a lot more purple...

Speaking of, there will be a demo update coming up in the future! Things are moving slowly for now, but I’m going to keep working hard. Thank you so much for supporting me all this time!

“Woooow! Thanks for teaching me all of this, Mr. No-Eyes!” “Young lady, may I have your name?” “It’s Avril. 🐰”

(Mai, that is not how you avoid strangers’ questions...)

A small update! I’m still fighting off extreme illness again, but I’m happy to say I’ve made a bit of progress on maps and puzzles! I’m really sorry about the delay in updates and email responses; I’m going to do my best to try and get them all sorted soon.

Please take care for now! Stay hydrated, take your meds, get lots of sleep, and don’t be afraid to pamper yourself!

Long time, no update! I’ve been extremely ill these past months, but I’ve been working on maps and updates as best as I can. You might also see a Team page popping up in the near future soon!

Please take care of yourselves! This spring has been very stressful for many.

Game and Voice Acting Updates

Voice acting auditions are now closed! I received very wonderful auditions from all of you, and I’m glad to hear it was very fun for a lot of you! I’ll be sending out emails to the chosen candidates, and when they’ve all responded, I’ll be revealing the cast in April! Thank you so much for your support, everyone!

A few spoiler maps have been finished, and I’ll be taking a week off to recover from illness. I can’t share those, but… 👀

UPDATE: The emails have been sent to the voice actors chosen for all of the twelve characters. Thank you so much for participating, every single one of you who auditioned! ❤

How do you solve the password section? I’ve tried exploring and doing things before going to the library and office and still can’t figure it out! I know I’m dumb, but I’m dumb and curious! 😂

I’m sorry for the late reply, anon! 💦

Have you tried repeating a very specific action a lot? I hear a good thing might happen if you finish the game after engaging in something cute many times… 🐰

Just curious, what made you decide to use only partial voice acting instead of having people read the lines the characters say? (Cant wait for the full game btw, loved the demo!)

Hello, anon! Thank you for the kind words! ;v;

I think it’s a lot easier on both the players and the voice actors if the voice acting was partial. Akademia is dialogue-heavy and doing full voice lines would be stressful. I’ve also noticed voice acting can take some players out of the game, so it’s be best for everyone if partial voices were done. There will also be a switch in the menu that mute all voices if the player wants silence! ✨

Hi! I am a Voice Over that is interested in your project. I was wondering, do you have any portraits we can reference from for the students and other characters while we audition?

I’m very sorry for the late reply, anon! I didn’t even see this until this morning... 😱

The first six characters and their portraits can be found in the Characters page of this blog, located on the left side, while the other characters will not be revealed. I hope you were able to peek around for a bit! ;;

Update + Auditions Reminder!

Part one of Jude’s area has been completed so far, and a bunch of other maps have been finished and polished! Jude and Austin are taking a little break here in this nice room before moving on. I wonder what lies ahead of them?

The voice actor auditions are set to end on March 31st, so there’s a little less than a month left! If you’re interested and haven’t applied yet, please do so! You can find the entire post and application instructions here!

So, you have to be 18+ to audition?

I highly recommend it! Due to the subject matter in Akademia, you should be 18+ to audition for voice acting, although none of the voice lines have content intended for an adult audience themselves.

Yikes, Avril... You just made Margaret’s fear spike up! 😱

More maps, sprites and portraits are finished! Today, I’ll also be introducing two new characters in the story! I wonder when you’ll get to meet them in-game...

Harvey Sunderland (left) is a second-year student at Rayfair Academy. He’s talented in arts and has a cool and sociable aura around him, although he struggles with memory and sometimes speaking after a physically traumatic accident a few years back. It seems he’s familiar with Jude.

Elanie Montoya (right) is a fourth-year student at Rayfair Academy. Her acting ability is second to none, and she’s rather... dramatic, but she’s hardworking and genuinely sweet and sisterly. She has the unfortunate habit of gushing over things or people she finds cute.

And finally, this a reminder for those who are interested in voice acting! Auditions are still open until March 31st! Click here to check it out!

Voice Actor Auditions

Are you looking to audition for a game? Do you want a variety of roles to choose from? Do you like bunny rabbits? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you might be who we’re looking for! Akademia is looking for twelve lovely voice actors to add an extra touch of life to the protagonists and the other characters.

A few things about the roles in general!

• Most of the lines will be sounds like gasps, grunts, laughs, screams, and single words or short phrases! There won’t be a lot of talking for any of these twelve roles.

• I won’t be able to pay you for the voice acting. However, you’ll be getting nice cameos in Akademia with sprites and an introduction!

• I highly recommend voice actors be 18+ due to the subject matter of Akademia, although the voiced lines themselves will not have any material intended for an older audience.

• Good mic quality is much appreciated!

Auditions close on March 31st, 2018. For more details, keep reading!

Hi! I was looking at the auditions and I was wondering if there was any particular amount of times you want a line said? Like, would you like each line a certain number of times or only once for each?

Hi there! Thanks for your question, anon. o/

You can have say each line any amount of times you want, so you could have multiple takes of the same line if you’d like. Do whatever makes you comfortable for these auditions!

Hey Akademia-project, in regards to the voice acting opportunity, do you have a preferred file type in which you want the voices to be saved in? (MP3, OGG, WAV) ^o^

Hello, Flare! Thank you for your question! o/

MP3, OGG and WAV are all acceptable formats! I’ll be adding this to the post to help clear things up. ✨
