Base Loop
Try it without paid AI
Reviewed presets with deterministic variants based on experience and time. They keep sources, practice, materials, and validation without generative personalization.
Available without an Academy subscriptionMAINLOOP ACADEMY
Learn to make.
Learn game design through guided practice. Choose a skill to work on, follow exercises backed by sources, and check your results against clear criteria. Academy adapts the learning path to your experience and available time.
Video games are the first category. The system is designed to expand into new technologies.
ACADEMYby MainloopTwo decisions, not a catalog
From a broad intention to a concrete capability
The entry is simple. The course appears after understanding what you want to do and where you begin.
- 01
Category
Defines the territory. Initially: video games.
- 02
Focus
Defines one observable capability inside that category.
- 03
Loop
Organizes practice, sources, materials, support, and validation around your outcome.
One shared framework
The how changes. Rigor does not.
Each person gets a different path, while every learning experience crosses the same pragmatic, testable cycle.
- 01Hypothesis
Turn intention into a prediction that can fail.
- 02Build
Produce the minimum test that isolates the central decision.
- 03Observe
Separate what happened from what you interpret.
- 04Explain
Rebuild the principle in your own words and find the gaps.
- 05Transfer
Apply the capability to a variation you have not rehearsed.
Adaptive Academy
A path that learns with you
AI generates and recalibrates the Loop from your outcome, preferences, time, and evidence. It includes experts, text, and real-time voice within clear limits.

Principles before shallow content
Knowledge is organized by topic and reused across Loops. The same material is not synthesized for every user, and an answer is not accepted merely because it sounds convincing.
Topic
The reusable unit that keeps knowledge independent from a course.
Principle
A claim with scope, limits, known failures, and functional checks.
Source
Official documentation, standards, papers, and books with verifiable identity and version.
Projection
Only the compatible, current knowledge required by the present practice.
Synthetic experts
Experts, not generic teachers
Five young, technical personalities intervene differently. They do not compete to speak: the one useful to the current block appears.
Alma
Makes you explain back until the first causal gap becomes visible.
Vera
Reduces the idea to a fast, runnable test.
Inés
Looks for the case that refutes your conclusion before accepting it.
Maia
Makes relationships, states, and hard-to-reason feedback visible.
Noa
Adds a useful constraint that turns progress into something finished.
Evidence-based validation
Activity does not prove knowledge.
Screenshots, links, files, explanations, and outcomes are tested against observable criteria. The profile grows when a capability is demonstrated and can transfer.
One clear subscription
More adaptation when you need it
Base Loops remain available without paid AI. Academy AI adds generation, conversation, and adaptation to every experience.
Monthly planAcademy AI
US$14.99per month
- Complete Loop generation and adaptation based on your outcome, experience, and evidence
- 100 monthly AI units for generation, adaptation, and follow-up questions
- 45 monthly minutes of real-time voice mentoring
- Generated Loops remain fully navigable after your monthly AI allowance is used
AI consumption reflects the actual work: a short Loop may use one unit, while a long or complex Loop may use several.

Frequently asked questions
Does Academy offer a traditional course catalog?
Not as the primary entry. You choose a category and focus; one Loop is then built around a concrete capability. Base presets let you try the system without paid AI.
What does the Base Loop include?
A reviewed, deterministic variant with sources, materials, practice, learning cycle, and validation criteria. It does not include AI generation or recalibration.
Are there several Academy plans?
No. Academy has one paid monthly subscription. It unlocks adaptation, experts, and real-time conversation within explicit monthly limits.
How does Academy avoid teaching incorrect information?
Content is projected from topic collections with principles, canonical sources, versions, expiry, and functional checks. A conflicting or stale source blocks use until review.
How does Academy validate that I actually learned?
Through practice and evidence tested against observable criteria, explanation, and transfer. Claiming a skill only helps choose an initial diagnostic.
Can I learn by speaking?
The subscription includes written and real-time voice conversation. Intervention remains bounded to the context, criteria, and sources of the current Loop.
