We celebrated the fifth anniversary of ARC Academy

We at ARC Academy have made it our mission to help all talented young people who want to take the professional path to the game industry. For the past five years, together with our speakers and partners, we have been successfully training and laying the stepping stones towards our students’ realization in the creative field. 

We are very proud of the results achieved so far and that our students are finding their professional path in the game industry. Part of our alumni community are also lecturers at the Academy who are happy to share their knowledge and experience with new graduates. 

At this stage, we already have six video games developed as a result of our students’ work – four of them have been completed and created by the Class of 2020/2021 (1), the Class of 2021/2022 (1) and the Class of 2022/2023 (2), and the other two will be finalized soon. The game projects showcase the students’ talent and creativity, but also their readiness to face the challenges of the professional arena.

To celebrate our five-year anniversary, we hosted a special event at Friday Bar where we brought together everyone who is part of the ARC extended family – students, alumni, faculty, partners and friends. Together, we enjoyed stand-up comedy from Inside Joke on the theme of gaming, with laughter and good cheer being an integral part of the evening.

Acknowledgements

We would like to express our sincere thanks to all our supporters who have touched our lives. Your support, diligence and dedication are a key factor that makes all of this possible. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for helping us continue to inspire and educate the next generation of creative youth.

Best wishes 

The ARC team wishes that we look to the future with confidence and enthusiasm. We hope to continue to grow and develop talented people who will leave a mark on the games industry. We wish all our graduates much success, inspiration and countless creative moments. May the next five years be even more successful and filled with new achievements and exciting projects.

And here is what the founders of the Academy did and what they wished for the future: 

“People often overestimate what they can do in 1 year and underestimate what they can achieve in 10.

We’re right in the middle (5 years), which is also a good time to tell ourselves what we’ve accomplished and where we want to go.

When I look back at the past 5 years, I’m glad we’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by people to learn from every day – our partners and speakers.

When I look at the next 5 years, I wish that we continue to bring meaning and inspiration to the people who use ARC products every day,” said Milin Djalaliev.

ARC Academy has changed the lives of many young people. I feel privileged to have witnessed a lot of personal development and progress, creating and shaping future professionals over the last 5 years. There is nothing more rewarding than being a part of all that is ARC,” said Antony Christov.

Happy Birthday, ARC Academy! 🥳
