Junior Accelerator Program | Summer 2020

Hello everyone!

About the program:

I am looking to hire developers who would like to do something like a junior accelerator program. If you do not know about the accelerator program, I will explain a little bit about it:

In the words of the ROBLOX wiki:

“The accelerator program is a professional development program that offers developers an opportunity to work with Roblox producers to develop and release an original game. The program lasts 12 weeks”

What makes our program different, is we do not collaborate on one game. We will assemble a multitude of teams who will each make their own games, but at the same time collaborate with each other if needed. It is not a competition, but rather a way to develop with people and make new friends while simultaneously having a productive summer!

Requirements:

  • 13 years of age or older.

  • Ability to communicate on a daily basis and keep us up to date on your project.

  • A team of two or more people.

  • Most importantly, a unique idea that can be accomplished in a matter of ~12 weeks.

Date of program

The date is scheduled to change, but the program will most likely run from May 12th - August 28th. There will be weekly check ins to see how you are doing and if you require any assistance.

Payment

There will be no payment directly from us on your project, but you will of course receive 100 percent of funds from the game you design.

Contact us!

You can message me directly on the forum to apply.
It is preferred that you join the server as well!

Additional notes

We are not associated with the ROBLOX corporation and joining this program does not increase your chances of being accepted into the Accelerator program in the future. It is merely to help you gain experience and have an experience similar to that of the Accelerator program. We also will not be going to any office or HQ, you are free to work remotely. If you have an questions, you may ask them on Discord or in the comments of this post.

Good luck! I hope to talk with you all soon! -ManInTheOven

So basically what you are saying is that we are supposed to create a game in 12 weeks?

Yes. It is sort of a challenge I suppose. But at the same time, you do not have to complete it in 12 weeks. You just work during that time and see how much you can get accomplished over the summer!

What type of game would you be supposable work on.

FPS, RP, ect

I personally will hand select my team for the challenge when the date gets nearer.

Hey! It’s interesting me. It look really like a cool program. Do I need to send my portfolio? And do we need a minimum time of experience? I’m modeler and translator.

Ok if your hand selecting please dm me I am interested

@Clxzed#8551 also is there like staff like people who assign the teams and that stuff?

For team selection, I will appoint captains of the teams and they will select their members at their own discretion.

Also, I don’t have Discord.

If you would like to apply to be a team captain, you may send your portfolio. I do not require any experience, as this challenge is mostly for fun.

Okay, you may send me your portfolio to apply.

What kind of benefits would this program have compared to assembling a team on your own.

I don’t want to be team captain but I just want to get some skill (And maybe some robux :o) Here is my portfolio https://devforum.roblox.com/t/phitrux-translator-and-asset-modeler/532813.

Ok. I will send you my portfolio

We will be provided “exposure”. Meaning we can help get your game out at the end of the summer. You will also have the opportunity to work alongside the other teams and receive feedback and support from them. I intend to make this program an extremely beneficial way to improve your skill, work hard, and have lots of fun at the same time. I have seen it where teams fall apart, I feel like we can keep the teams together when working towards a goal of “winning” the challenge.
