Ezen Baklattan Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Sad this game seems pretty much dead in the water. Still find everything with The Academy hilarious in hindsight. People loved it or hated it - there was almost no inbetween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The massively polarizing reviews is what made me seek it out and read it myself, so you can pat yourself on the back for that one. (It's massively flawed but I understood where you were going with it) Edited May 19, 2016 by cookie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 For what it's worth, I hate it with three years of hindsight. I was frustrated with a somewhat slow Y6 for me that I was desperate to pull out all the stops and make a "fuck you, I'm an artist!" movie, and I was still adoring Cloud Atlas at the time so... Basically, The Academy was a product of righteous anger and lack of a perhaps necessary haste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol so have I. I've done a lot of rework with my future projects (added a third act to The Black Knight where there originally weren't) but been to busy/lazy to finish and post the stuff that was right in front of me. Got only one big assignment left before summer tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunch Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) So what's going on with this game? This was legendary at BOM, so many amazing memories, it's a real, real tragedy that BOM vaporized the forums from existence. There was nothing like this anywhere else in on the internet or in the world. I started playing when I was 13 and now I'm about to graduate college and have already written several short films, and am slowly making my way as a screenwriter in the real world. CAYOM taught me how to tell a story, and gave me my first audience. It was basically the best, most entertaining workshop experience ever. I still have all my films saved on my computer and the progress from my first years to my final ones is staggering. I went in being able to come up with solid concepts but with no idea how to develop them into a cohesive, detailed plot, and left with an instinctive grasp of great storytelling. I owe my passion in life to this game, as melodramatic as it may sound. It showed me that I can tell a great story, and I'm not sure I would have found out without it. More importantly, it gave me my first audience. So Numbers, Ry, Impact, Billy, Point, Phil, Ueka, and everyone else out there, if you're reading this, thank you. And I still hope I'll be able to meet you one day. If you ever stop by Vancouver send me a message! I check this account from time to time.

Ezen Baklattan Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Would anyone be interested in making a Best of "all time" list in CAYOM? It's a lot of reading, but hey, reading is good for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorschach Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I've still got some great ideas for films I could do. And ones I haven't touched in over half a year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I've actually been thinking about writing two OCs just for fun; a political drama (the election's gotten me motivated) and one about the first years of Pixar with Lasseter, Jobs, Catmull, Katzenberg, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 So with Nine Lives releasing today, it kept reminding me of my Y5 film The Career Buster, following a prestigious director seeking to free himself from Hollywood by making the worst movie he can possibly imagine.

Rorschach Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Yeah, as far as plans for films go, I'm thinking of finishing up Tulpa and doing an adaptation of both 12 Angry Men and Oedipus the King. Read both in my English class last year and thought they would make pretty good movies. Edited August 6, 2016 by Rorschach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I may be up for something like that. I'm thinking that maybe what we can do is try something like this to get a little rejuvenated energy for the game. And then afterwards maybe restart Year 10 from the beginning (there's already a bunch of films made already so that'll help push things forward). Maybe that will give things a kickstart for people (*cough*likeme*cough*) to get invested once again. Third time is the charm after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'd rather we finish Y10 as is (the way it's left hanging so close to the end is disheartening) and make Y11 the fresh start should there be energy to keep it going. It was easier to restart it when all that had to be remade was part 1, but wiping off two seasons worth of reviews and box office might tick off some people. 2 hours ago, Alpha said: So I've literally read 550 films over the past week in preparation for my Top 100 All-Time CAYOM 2.0 list.
