CTRL+ALT+CREATE | Ramble Arts Online Studio | Term 1, 2026
About
Somewhere between river and stars, drifting worlds await. Not everything has to make sense to exist.CTRL+ALT+CREATE is a low-pressure, highly-experimental creative program that takes place inside Ramble Arts Online Studio (our Discord server). Built for 13-18 year olds who daydream, who have busy brains and hands, who hoard unfinished projects and half-baked ideas, who want to create but don't want the pressure of needing to make anything good.
This term, we're stepping into the universe of Betwixt River and Stars.
Five worlds. One magic river. And a flying ship brimming with scientists, explorers, merchants, misfits and thieves. Explore ancient libraries, dance beneath dusty night market lights, dip your webbed toes into the licks of water that float across the edges of space. Fall in love, make an enemy, explore time through generations.
Every Sunday, a new prompt is dropped into the server, and the universe shifts. Perhaps a sudden catastrophe, an unwelcome visitor, a major anniversary. Or a subtle ripple in the water, a quiet whisper beyond the pages.
You're invited to:
- Build your own character(s)
- Drop them into the universe and roleplay with other participants' characters
- Interact casually or dive deep into the plot
- Stay solo and create on your own terms
How you interact is totally up to you!
- Write poems
- Write short stories
- Create visual art responses
- Write a song
- Develop a soundtrack
- Draw maps
- Design clothes
- Experiment
- Make a mess
Alongside open-world roleplaying and Sunday prompt drops, this term is sprinkled with cozy online events, beginning with:
