Your expected schedule in which you are 100% sure you will be able to be there. If you are not there, you will probably be dropped from the class and/or beta testing: Weekends noon to midnight
Which class are you most interested in? Why?: Im interested in An introduction to forge because i have been making maps for a little while now but none of them seem to have the aesthetic, gameplay, or fun factor that i want to acquire.
How motivated are you to learning? Explain IN DETAIL: I want to be one of the top forgers here and have people look at my maps and be inspired. I have made so many maps that in the end are not something im proud of and I think this class is an oppurtunity to achieve my goals and excel at the art of forging.
Give us a quick rundown on what you know in Forge, and what you'd like to improve on or learn: I know how to somewhat interlock, im not very good at geomerging, how to make floating objects, and i would like to improve everything that involves forge because my skills are not very good and could use improvement.

• HiddenOutcast
• Hidden Outcast
• Noforge hub achievements
• saturdays and sundays are when I know I can get on
• Im interested in the Pegasi Delta class because I really like creating maps from scratch, but I just don't know much. I have winged a bit of geomerging on foundry and some merging of pieces but I really want to know more. I think forging is one of the most interesting parts of this game. I want to be able to do it.
• I am very motivated to learning these techniques because I think that I have a great idea of level design and symmetry but I just struggle with being able to create what I am thinking. I have met a few people from forgehub that have sowed me some things but I think that I can learn a lot more. I am really excited to learn about map design in terms of the way it plays as well. I want to learn how to combine aesthetics with playability.
• I know how to merge objects with new rounds and respawn times, how to merge things by grabbing them while they are merged wth something else (geo merging) and I think I know a bit about level design, but not much. I need to know some ways to quicken merging, to make them better. I think there is a lot I don't know about, so I can't say what it is because I haven't learnt about it yet.

• Most Interested Class
• ^-I would have to say Pegasi's because I have an awful time with design and testing and all of what that class covers
• Motivation
• ^-I really want to learn how to forge better. Every map I look at is a 5 star rate or featured and all my maps cant even compete. My dream is to get at least 1 map featured and then i can finally take a sigh of relief.
• What I Know
• ^-I know how to Interlock and I use alot of basic techniques. Im clue,less on geomerging, ghostmerging or anything like that.

Teachers are only handpicked and are undeniably great at what they do, and specialize in it. Sorry if I'm sounding rude, but no, absolutely no, unless you are an actual professional map designer (which for some reason I highly doubt)

[Insane54]

I've opened up two classes taught by me: the same Steps Towards Map Design Mentality that I just ran (great success thusfar) and is now open for another group for another go, and Map Design 201, which is a more advanced class where we'll be using what we know from the mentality towards creating a great map.

The former will (hopefully) be broadcasted live and recorded so you guys can tune into it even if you're not able to get into the class. Anyway, if you're interested in either of these (201 is going to be very hard to get into if you can't prove superior mentality skills), they're now available in the OP.

Pegasi Delta's class is still open, as well, he's trying to get the best choices he can.

Note that you will require new signups to get into new classes, which are open after this post.

Your expected schedule in which you are 100% sure you will be able to be there. If you are not there, you will probably be dropped from the class and/or beta testing: Week nights are open and on the weekends is open.
Which class are you most interested in? Why?: Map Design 201 because Steps Towards Map Design Mentality really made me think about different aspects of the maps and what exactly bungie might have been thinking. The next logical step would be to try to apply those ideas to new maps so that they could have potentially the same successes as those maps but try to take out any flaws or downsides we identify
How motivated are you to learning? Explain IN DETAIL: I would be there every week, just as I was for the last few weeks, because I am quite interested in these kinds of things. Some maps aren't as attractive to people and automatically get vetoed, and I think going further into bungie's ideas would probably support ideas of why that happens.
Give us a quick rundown on what you know in Forge, and what you'd like to improve on or learn: I taught myself to interlock, geomerge, ghostmerge and I know about instant repawns, floating objects etc. not exactly essential to this class.. but I still know them.

Your expected schedule in which you are 100% sure you will be able to be there. If you are not there, you will probably be dropped from the class and/or beta testing: Weekends and some rare occasions on tghe week days
Which class are you most interested in? Why?: Im interested in map design
How motivated are you to learning? Explain IN DETAIL: I have always been the best forged out of my friends , but im not a known forger, I am horrible with cover, but the structures evryone loves. I want to become a well known forger, I want people to look at my maps and expect something amazing out of it.
Give us a quick rundown on what you know in Forge, and what you'd like to learn:I can ghost, door, and window merge, interlock well and obviously float objects.Basically everything, but i just don't put them to good use.

Will these be released to the public or kept within the class?

[Insane54]

Theoretically, it'll be open, yes. But that first off depends on a few things: first off, if I can get a desirable class of students, so far practically nobody has signed up. Second off, one of those guys will have to have a capture card, decent internet, and be able to broadcast. Also, the class is very much tailored towards people in the room and improving their design...mentality. So people in the chatbox (and especially in recordings) would get much less personal attention from me or attention for the lesson plan. Would still work out, just gotta get a good class and a guy with a capture card I think.
