I've been trying to get back into the groove of drawing stuff, so I decided to draw some of your avatars! I hope you all like them. I drew everyone I saw early this afternoon, so if you're not there, it's nothing personal! Left to right: Ai, Jinx, Ni, Taru, Twi, Becky Individual files

Looking back at 2021 2021 is drawing to a close and we're about to enter the year 2022! Some of you speedy time travelers are already there! We haven't been doing year reviews lately, but a lot has happened at Kokoro over the course of the past year, and I thought this year it would be worth covering some of those things! So many new students have joined us This year we have seen way more new faces than usual, many of which have went on to become enrolled students at our school! I would like to start celebrating our students more, so I would like to show all of the people who joined captains books this year! Mirara Nise Snow Garguile (Later known as Nezu!) Kaguya Nuzzia Mizuki Pururin Remeindre Duckie Amaya Scylla Lyra ZeFritter Caero Scribbles Cereil Our students are all an important part of Kokoro, without them Kokoro would not be a very interesting place to be! We had our first ever Official Yearbook Photo! Many of our students old and new gathered for a Yearbook Photo this year! Entertainment before the Photo~ We've been a busy school with Clubs and Activities For the first time in Kokoro's history, we have had active clubs for students to participate in, several of which have been opened by our students! We have Dance Club headed by Pururin, Photography Club by Maki and Duckie launched Curry Club! Photography Club putting on an Awesome Halloween Dance Event at Kokoro So many people came to spend Halloween at Kokoro and see the Dance Event~ Decoration Club put together wonderful Christmas Decorations, where we spent much of Christmas together~ Nezu and Duckie putting on a Christmas Play~ We formed a new Student Council which has been hard at work A functioning Student Council has been formed at Kokoro that has been having meetings several times a month this year. With the aid of the council, many new things have been developed and more planned for Kokoro. We've put together an official Enrolment policy which has helped to make it easier for new guests to integrate and become a part of Kokoro. As a result, many more students than usual have joined us! We've been working on things to support teaching at Kokoro too! We have also been planning the development of Seiiki, the town island! We finally got our Male Uniforms! This year, Kokoro finally got its male uniforms! We have already seen students start to adopt them and we hope you enjoy them! ...And a new Cable Car Station This year saw the development and installation of Kokoro's new Cable Car Station in Seiiki! The station is a custom mesh with materials where new building techniques were tested~ Ni provided us with ticket machines too! With the station we also deloped a Ticket System that helps us to maintain customs and traditions at our school, as we work to turn our school into a students first environment~ 2022 We're working on building a town for our students to live in! This year, we intend to place much of our focus on Seiiki, our town island. Specifically, we will be developing the side of the island from the Heliport up to the station, turning it from an empty path to a vibrant town! We want to build many different types of shops, mostly roleplay but some otherwise. We also hope to develop student accommodation above the shops, that we hope our students will feel happy to call home~ We also have plans to build a new visitor center and function hall of sorts! Although not much building wise is planned for our campus island this year, we hope to work on the community side of things and begin to enable more activities such as teaching at our school! A personal message To each and every one of our students, I am sure that there will be many challenges ahead that the year will bring each of you as individuals, but I want you all to know that you are not alone. Kokoro and your Captain are here for each and every one of you, and we will face the challenges that the year brings together. I hope to help make sure that each and every one of you does not just survive, but thrives in 2022! Get your sleep and do your exercises! No seriously, it will help make sure that you are better prepared to deal with whatever the world might throw at you, and make sure you are in a good state of mind not just to help yourself but those around you. With that bit of realism out of the way, I do hope that all of you do have a great year, and I hope we will have as much fun in 2022 as we did in 2021! I really enjoyed this year. It was something special. See you on the other side~ -

A new ambient sound system has been built into the School HUD! Depending on where you are, and the time of the day you will hear different ambient sounds as you wander throughout our sim. Try having a wander! It is hoped that with these ambient sounds, it will help provide a sense of atmosphere, and also enhance a sense of space as they drown out distant sounds that would otherwise be heard in a vacuum. Comfortable Listening We hope that most people will enjoy the new sounds throughout the sim, but recognize that with listening devices such as closed back headphones ambient sounds can create a pressure within the cup that can result in discomfort depending on the individual. We have provided a set of commands that can be used to adjust the volume of ambience to a comfortable level for your listening, or mute if desired. Just type one of the following commands into the chat: /1 amb.high Set ambient volume to High /1 amb.med Set ambient volume to Medium /1 amb.low Set ambient volume to Low /1 amb.off Turn off ambient sounds By default, Ambient sound volume is set to Medium. The HUD will remember your preference.

They're here! After much work, Kokoro Academy for the first time now has male uniforms available to its students! Our male Uniform has some subtle details of their own that we are sure students will enjoy~ Buttons 心 is Kanji for Kokoro Our Gakurans have golden buttons with a custom design by Ni. Did you know it is a custom during your graduation ceremony to give the second button of your Gakuran to your sweetheart? It is considered a confession of love! Like our girl Uniform, the male uniform too contains two golden ropes to give a sense of duty. They are placed on the right hand arm - The sword arm - because we want our boys to know that one of the gifts of being a male is strength! Men have naturally stronger bodies and we want them to consider it their duty to use it for good! Make sure to train those muscles so that you can serve and protect the people you care the most about! Of course our Uniform would not be a Kokoro Uniform if it did not have our twin hearts somewhere. On the boys, we thought that it looked pretty stylish on the tails of the jacket! (The girls wear theirs on the back of their collar) Currently, we have the Uniform rigged to Kuroo and will be distributing it to all our existing students. We will be working on bringing it over to the Kemono w/ Male Chest over the coming weeks. That's all for now!

Hi! I'm Squidwardonachair, or Matthew. Neon introduced me to this place and it seems like a nice place to hang around in! I'm a freelancing artist and epic gamer squid in their early 20s. My aspiration in life is to be the guy who wears the mascot costume. Preferably Squidward. I'm also very new to SL and incomprehensibly shy, so I'm sorry if I goof up or scream in terror if you try to talk to me.

Good evening, I'm Becky! 👻 I'm fairly quiet and suck at keeping conversations going, but I'm willing to make friends around Kokoro! 😋 🧛‍♀️ Some Becky Facts: I'm a 19 year old Irish college student (studying multimedia). I adore forensics, horror, ghouls...anything spooky or weird really. 🎃 I watch mostly- American Horror Story (Hotel, Coven & Asylum are my favourites) Forensic Files 💉 Buzzfeed Unsolved I listen to mostly- nu-metal (Slipknot, Korn, Mushroomhead, etc.) rock (AC/DC, Metallica, etc.) and shamefully emo-rap too (Lil Peep, X, Scarlxrd & Ghostmane) I adore animals with all my heart (I own 1 hamster, 1 kitty and 1 ghost kitty) 🐱😍 If you see me around, don't hesitate to talking to me! Just bear with me as my laptop is rather slow~ y'all might see me glitching into some walls. 😄

Hiii, I am nihara the ni, a bunny who came from a snowy town to kokoro but in reallity is a dude from brazil, which is a pretty hot place xD. Nihara is a blind bunny but I've been playing as a chibi ni instead lately, sadly she is too hyperactive to use a guide cane now xD, in any case heres some stuff that I like. Music in general as soon as it makes me happy Learning new skills Spinning pens, staffs and books Roller skating Making random 3D models Sculpting human anatomy Right now i am trying to improve my sculpture skills to become a character sculptor artist, wish me luck! Maybe some day ni might be able to teach people how to sculpt at kokoro too. Here is one of my past anatomy studies. Ni is very friendly so fell free to talk to me ♥

kokoro tower!

Hey! uwu So happy to finally be a part of this, back then I always visited Kokoro Academy's Sim, really excited of the idea of RPing hereee so Im happyyy, anyways hope I can make friends and have fun! nice to meet everyone.

foxy wishes all a wonderful holidays, cake and sake~ 💕🍰 and to Duckie a wonderful birthday fun today! 🦆🎂

Don't know if this is the best subforum for this; feel free to move it or whatever! I took a photo of Becky's last spooky event. Extras here! (if it works, thanks imgur)

Hoi Hoi, Fritter here with an Unofficial Event. I have made a set of Tarot Cards (With great help from Cereil.) that I will be hiding in Kokoro. There will be 1 card in the following locations. The Gym, The Library, The pool, The 1st floor of the main building, the 2nd floor of the main building, and the 3rd floor & roof of the main building. (The Classrooms are considered parts of their floors. However I will not hide the cards in rooms that would be barred from entry such as bathrooms or changing rooms. Nothing wrong with hunting together however in order to claim the fabulous prize for this hunt you will need to submit a note card named "Name_Tarot". In this card you will need to write down where you found which card. It does not need to be exact its just to keep thing organized. Once you trade the note card in there will be a prize that has been made by the Fabulous Cereil! The cards should be visible while in first person however since its hard to take in account various sizes ill try and make sure its not hidden behind things. My goal with this is to provide new or old students a reason to do a little bit of exploring. Should you desire a copy of the cards please let me know id be glad to share them. If you have any questions as well please do let me know.

Recently I noticed that there's a Machu Picchu in Second Life, and technically it is near Kokoro Academy! It seems that we got a potential position for excursion now lol sURL for Machu Picchu in Second Life: https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/USMP 3D/160/53/22/ Introductory video of Machu Picchu in Second Life:

Currently working on the Cable Car Station. Yesterday developed tooling to allow export/positioning of models precisely in-world which will be necessary due to station being at an angle inworld I went to sleep immediately after RL work yesterday so I could wake up early and put my energy into this. I have begun chopping up the new mesh station into smaller parts to allow it to drop through LOD Models and keep the LI down. Making Physics mesh too. The station will start with some provisional textures. The whole town island will need re-uploading due to the new shape/entry location of the station.

faf67148efeea20adb31a7154b130428.mp4 Besides a few minor rigging issues, we very nearly have a serviceable male uniform for the Kuroo~

remember friends, even when you feel alone, there are people who care about you o: keep your chin up, i believe in you♥

hello, im snow.exe, your friendly neighborhood android! i realized belatedly that ive never made a forum post, so i figured this would be a good spot to start ^^ im from canada, i play lots of games, and i have a passion for music :3 its a pleasure to make your acquaintance, please be kind to me!

🦇Halloween Dance🦇 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Put on your spookiest costume and fanciest dance shoes and come to the Kokoro Academy Halloween dance! The dance club will be performing on stage at the gym, there will be photo opportunities, snacks, and drinks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date and Time: October 31st at 2PM SLT Be there or beware muhaha

Included is a photo of the reward for this event. This item will be given out in limited quantities during this event only and is ✅Modify/❌No Copy/✅Transfer with a total of 3Li at it's current size. ( You may transfer the item as you like, but no further copies/replacements will be given out. ) I've designed the statue so the following areas are a base white color, making them easy to recolored ( Edit, select face. ) to the owners liking. They include; Body ( Main ) Chest + Tailtip ( Both will be the same color. ) Inside ears Feet Eyes Nose tip (Note: The Scarf and mask can be recolored as well, but is unlikely to look very well recolored as neither of these items are a base white color. ) Hope everyone enjoys Ze's event~

The sim has re-opened its doors to new guests. We are trialing a new ticket system aimed at ensuring we grow at a sustainable rate in the future. Remember to grab a ticket from the ticket machine! See you!

Hello! Hello! it is me, Fritter. Look forward to meeting people and hanging out.

Need to sort through these and pick the best one later~

Hello everyone, I made this section to present to you the progress on kokoro's male uniform~ Currently, I got the garment part done... Threw it in my sculpting program and got this out of it... ZBrush Movie.mpgZBrush Movie2.mpg Currently, I am working on the topological part of the model, the shirt has the topology done already But the pants still need to be done, that's what I am doing today.

Ni shark and Sharkcat! Nyaa!

Kokoro's Experience is changing to limit the distance that visitors can cam through the sim. Whether you're working together on a super-secret group project, or doing things that would land you in the Headmasters office, this update benefits you. The new updates aim to turn Kokoro from one small room that everyone can see everywhere in, to a big place with many private rooms that can only be seen and entered on foot! No more! How does it work? Users with RLV get the best experience, the camera is simply constrained to the maximum distance using RLV. For non-RLV users, we simply block the view with the HUD when camming too far. You will be prompted to reset your camera by pressing ESC. Keeping up with Growth Kokoro's Community is growing and as we grow there are more people on the sim. We hope that this change will allow those who enjoy some privacy once in a while to still enjoy Kokoro and find a peaceful hiding spot on the sim when things get busy. The change will also likely become more relevant should we build student accommodation in the future. The feature is not quite finished yet. Currently our Experience is not required to enter the sim, but we intend to change that soon.

This club has been approved, and is now recruiting members. If you would like to sign up, please register your interest below and provide your general availability in SLT.

Hello everyone, are you doing well? I am just writing to let everyone know that I am particularly busy this month, there is a lot going on. I am in the process of buying my first home in real life and soon I will probably have to start the moving process. Me and Ni have also been busy making new products that should help keep the school funded for a long time. There's a lot of things I'd like to do for the school this year. I'd like to make some headway on the town mesh, and get creators club up and running! I know that some people have been wanting help making their clubs and groups too. Well, that's all for now. Just indicating I'm alive! ~ Ai

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ~♡ Hey Hi Hello! ♡~ My name is Bunni or Bun ( I also go by Mochii in someplaces) Edited 2/5/2022! I am your typical internet weeb. I like anime and playing video games on PC, and sometimes my Switch I play things like Maplestory 2, Sims 1/2/3/4, Minecraft, Life is Strange, GTA 5, and really whatever catches my eye.

Welcome to Kokoro Academy's forum. We hope you enjoy your time with us! Please introduce yourself by posting a new thread in this section. ~ Kokoro Academy

This location makes me very happy. I like to watch the process of rp. In the past, I watched school anime rp in a different location. There were too many strict rules because of which people stopped playing. On the strictness of the rules of the location: I was sitting with a friend on the playground when no one was engaged in RP game. A moderator approached me and began to insult me, when I said that he behaves inappropriately, they began to threaten me with a ban. Those insults were not claims against rp. In other words, the moderator just wanted to recoup on someone. I found this academy randomly. And to be honest - Kokoro is one of the best places among school RPs. The location is well designed, the sky settings are some of the best. Very atmospheric and painstaking work. I do not speak English very well, so at times I use a translator. I hope that the translation is provided correctly. I like compiling profiles for a specific character, so there is hope to penetrate into the atmosphere of the RP. I don’t know how exactly it will be in time (since sometimes I work part-time in the real world). If I understand correctly, then my time zone today is GMT+3 (Ukraine).

Changing Course Traditionally, all work at Kokoro has focused entirely on the build of the sim, community activity and engagement has always been a twinkle in our eyes far off in the distance. This is changing, we are going to gradually open up our doors to more community engagement. We've already started with our new forum which will act as a platform for this movement. Work on the school build will still be going forward in the mean-time, there is a still a lot of work to do on the school and we've got an entire town to build still. What's the plan, Captain? Get Kokoro to achieve at least 2 of 3 of it's stated goals for it's visitors (Hangout and make new friends, Roleplay, Learn new Skills) by the end of 2020. Remainder of 2019 Roleplay: Establishment of protocol for creating/managing events. Design and creation of our roleplaying system Published Sim Rules / Dress Code Community: Get a whole lot more people introduced to our forum so we can start engaging with more people! Build: Mesh decorations for music room Male Uniform for Kuroo / Avatar 2.0 Cafeteria Building 2020 - Check back later! I'll post about 2020 later on, it's late!

It's a Jinx! Socks 😆

Thank you guys! I'm so happy you like them. ❤️

thats so cute! ♥

Hey! I'm the nerdy one who writes the code and makes a lot of the 3D stuff at Kokoro! Obviously I have a love of anime, given what I make, but here are some other things about me:- I like creating things! I'm a software engineer and I can reach ~100 Words per minute! 🔥 I'm actually a dude, and I live in London! I look forward to making friends with you~ ~ Ai

Hey everyone! I'm Twi. I'm gonna introduce my self a lil bit for those who'll see me around Kokoro Academy, I'm there quite a bit. I'm way into masks and you'll never see me without one. If you're wondering who the weirdo being quiet in the corner is, its probably me. If you have a mask, I'll want to talk to you. I'm slowly but surely making a mask store and I'll open up eventually. I like to hide my face, but I'm not particularly shy. Just in groups or crowds. I love gaming. Favorite game of all time is Ocarina of Time. I love Nintendo but I drift between platforms. Really can't wait for the Breath of the Wild sequel! I also love art! I draw digitally but I've been delving a bit into 3D modeling, making masks and stuff. I don't really share my stuff. Like everyone else who is here, I'm very excited for Kokoro Academy and its amazing to see the new projects come to life every day. If you see me around, say hi! I wanna make friends here 😛 A bit of RL stuff, I'm still pretty new to SL, so if I don't understand something, I'm sorry XD Be patient with me. Thanks for reading!

If you ever need help with English Ni, don't hesitate to ask! I'll try. I know Ni loves under the stairs. That's where I met her 😛 That's as good as a reason as any to love a fountain.. It is super pretty already. I love those too! Any room in Kokoro could be a sim itself. I can't wait for the town to be done.
