New Year, New Plans

 As I normally do at the new year, I try to make plans for where I'd like to get this year with stuff I'm working on. In this post, I'll be showing my plans for the year for programming and YouTube.

Please note that all plans may be changed throughout the year (not in this post), and this only reflects the current plan as of 1/1/16. Plans that have dates closer to the end of the year will probably receive the most change of all.

Programming

TAG

For TAG, I'd like to finish the API, Engine, and Game separation by the end of March. By the end of April, I want to get to v.0.0.7.0, which would put all the Areas from the Prologue into the game. This doesn't mean the Prologue will be complete, just that you can go to all the rooms in there (at least main storyline rooms).

By the end of June, I'd like to get to v.0.0.8.0, which would see a Player Select Menu when starting a new game (so you can choose other player sprites if available and choose Markiplier mode once again). This would also allow you to name your character (if you don't wanna be called Tadukoo).

By the end of August, I'd like to get to v.0.0.9.0, which would see more sounds put into the game (music and sound effects). These would also be the official sounds, not just temporary ones like currently in the game.

By the end of September, I'd like to get to v.0.0.10.0, which would see animations put in that are currently missing, like going between areas.

By the end of October, I'd like to get to v.0.0.11.0, which would add "hacking" (pressing a certain button and entering a code on objects does special stuff). I think eventually it will be a feature that you need in the storyline, but I'm not sure where it fits quite yet.

I'd like to make Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas updates to the game as well.

I'd like to get to v.0.0.12.0 by the end of the year, which would improve the debug system. Doing this would make it easier to test the game in the future and find issues.

Other Games

I'd like to make two minor games using the API and Engine that I was making with TAG. Honestly, I'd like to make STSB (Super Tadukoo Smash Bros.) once again, but I'm not sure that's minor enough for what I'd like to do.

Other

Every two months, I'd like to make an update to Tadukoo Bible (a Bukkit plugin I made). There are a lot of features I have planned for it, and I haven't really worked on it since I released v.1.0. I have v.1.1 planned, but it's a very big update and I think I could finish it if I split it into parts, releasing parts every two months.

I'd like to finish Tadukoo Perms, a Bukkit permissions plugin I've been working on. Finishing it would be one of the steps to help with bringing my server back, which I'd like to do eventually.

YouTube

Current Series

Minecraft with Tadukoo wrapped up Season 1 yesterday. For January 14th, I'd like to make a compilation video for it. I'd also like to have Season 2 this year consistently for every two weeks. I'm not sure if I'd like to start it on the 28th or not.

Minecraft: Order of the Stone: A Retelling of the Cave Game will continue Season 1 through January and wrap up in February (8 episodes total for the season, every two weeks). I'd like to start Season 2 this year, but I'm not sure when it'll start. Season 2 will be longer, with 15 episodes.

Song Time (the videos where I have a song and put pictures to it) may have new videos this year, but I'm not sure of that schedule.

The Tadukooverse Reports coming back depend on the server coming back.

Upcoming Series

Tadukoo's Tale is the only Minecraft series currently planned to be added to the channel. This would probably be closer to the end of the year, as only the first episode has been recorded at this point.

I'd like to get to a point where I can record TAG and upload videos about it.

I'd like to record a series of Drawn to Life.

Proving Creation is a series I'd like to start this year about proving the Bible and that God exists. It seems this series would start in the summer or later.

There are other series that I want to work on, but I don't plan on having them ready for upload this year.

I'm Leaving Blogger (Old)

This post is old, I've since moved back to blogger (see this post ).  Once the blog posts are back, I'll be updating the links here to point to their new locations. As of today, I'm officially leaving Blogger. I'm taking all my posts with me too. I've setup two websites for my future blogging and programming projects, and all my posts from here will be available on one of those websites moving forward. The first website is my personal website, https://tadukoo.github.io - On it, I'll be posting about my personal projects as well as any random posts I feel like posting. Most of my posts from here will be moving to this site, as most of my posts were about personal projects and random posts. This website is early in development, but it will ultimately include many details about me and what I'm working on. The other website is for my new open source GitHub organization I'm started called Tadukooverse. The website is https://tadukooverse.github.io  - On it, ...

Tadukoo Bible Update 8/22/2020

 I've moved the information for Tadukoo Bible to the Tadukoo GitHub site finally (it used to be on my wiki - which includes a bunch of stuff I've done, and some more of that will likely move over here in the future, but not all of it). From now on, this site will be the main place for Tadukoo Bible information (specifically from its project page ). Tadukoo Bible has been on a bit of a hiatus for a long time now, mainly due to college and other projects taking priority over the past several years for me. Last I touched it, I was trying to convert it into a general thing instead of just a Bukkit plugin, and trying to make a generic Minecraft API, and changing it to download verses from BibleHub to use instead of me having to setup the verse files by copy-paste (like I did for the King James Version back in the day). The general conversion and Minecraft API didn't get very far, but I do have working code to download from BibleHub (it's just not in the plugin itself). I st...

The Development of My Game

Image
 The game has come a long way from the beginning until now. I ended up calling it "TAG" as a way to say it quickly. TAG came from the way I named the project folder in eclipse. I named it "TadukooAGame", because I already had "TadukooGame" and A was the first letter of the alphabet. Back when I started on TAG, I had already wanted to make a game, I just didn't have an idea yet. I had looked up tutorials on making games, and I found one that essentially had the code and graphics in it for a moon lander game. What I did was I copied the code from that (by physically typing it), that way I'd be able to better understand it and read it as I go along. After that, I modified the game to be a better moon lander (in my opinion). I also changed the graphics to be in my style. That is what "TadukooGame" had become. I didn't claim the game as my own or share it anywhere, I simply used it to help me better understand programming. Back then, I did...
