Current State Of My Projects

This has nothing to do with my projects but it looks nice.

          This is a list of my current projects and their statuses. I was originally going to put this post on Projects but since I'm talking about all my project I decided to throw it up on the main site. It's mostly for me but I wanted have full disclosure of my projects. See them after the jump.

UPDATE 1 (5/4/13): Added a project I forgot about. Some status updates.

Elevator Music Video Update 7 ~ [9/9/12]

Elevator Music Video Update 7 from Thaddeus Coleman on Vimeo.

          Sorry I didn't have the video part of the video update up last week. It's been very hectic since school started. The good thing is that I done coding Still Here After Wednesday Night version 5.2.0.0., this means I have more free time however that free time will be mostly used for school until I get everything in order. No Script update this week, but expect one next Sunday. Seeya then.

In Still Here, at the very beginning of a new game or new game + cheatcodes may be entered. To do this simply start a new game or new game + and don't move from that spot! Instead type in CHEAT and you should hear a beep. Voila. To skip to the Epilogue type in NE after CHEAT. You should hear another beep if successful. To quickly unlock Shoy Schot! type in SS after CHEAT. You should hear another beep if successful.
Ex. >Cheat (beep)

      >SS (beep)

          Have fun with the new update. Read the Special Message in the game (go to the About section within the Main Menu).

Elevator Music Video Update 5 ~ [8/26/12]

Elevator Music Video Update 5 from Thaddeus Coleman on Vimeo.

          In this update I'm update the Script (finally--at the bottom of this page), however it is only of the next two scenes as I've been busy finishing the programming for Shoy Schot's update (a.k.a. Still Here After Wednesday Night 5.2.0.0). I plan on finishing it in the next few days hopefully. With the extra time I update Script throughout the week.

          Over the the past week I've been writing and rewriting the unscripted scenes for episode 1 as well as writing a couple of scene for episode 2. I trying to nail down Collis' character and also improve the pacing of the Script (ep 1). The former I'm getting better at and the latter I won't be able to until I have a completed draft in of me.

          The problems I'm facing with the Script right now are as follows: Looking to be too long (I actually prefer this to being short, but it is pass the comfortably over length point). Some scenes go on for too long while other's aren't long enough. Because of this the pacing is thrown off. Also, a major concern is that this series is both a comedy and drama; the first episode should be teaser for the overall series, provide samplings of most of the main points (within reason)--I'm hitting the comedy but not so much the drama. Now this will come in later. I already have some scenes written for later in the season that have drama/character development and I even have these scenes in the first episode but the pacing is a bit messy. These are the problems I'm looking to fix as I go on.

          Lastly, I start back college tomorrow--what does that mean for Elevator Music? Mostly nothing that will hinder my writing as it's already been hinder with my programming. Actually, this is a good thing. I'll have down time to writing more at school and also--the biggest thing--I can use the school's internet to upload videos, which means I can make longer more in-depth video updates if I need to. Also, I can practice speaking on camera. All in all, this is good.

          O.K. guys, this will be it for this update. I felt you deserved a meatier update since the video won't be here till later and the Script didn't receive as big an update as I promised. Seeya.

          One more thing I want to share with everyone besides random music is this article by Roses from PusingUpRoses.com. It is a very touching and powerful article about an experience in her life that change entire outlook on life after she saw how affected those around her. I really recommend giving it a read.

UPDATE 1 (8/27/12): Video Added. It's abysmally dark. Apologies.

Next Update: Sunday 9/2/12

Shoy Schot! Update Video 1

          This a  video (WATCH IN FULL SCREEN) of the new features I've been adding to the Still Here After Wednesday Night Minigame Shoy Schot!, which is now significantly larger than Still Here... and has no right to be called a minigame at this point (at least in comparison to Still Here...). Sorry to the monotone, I'll get better. Also, I'm still learning this recording system--It didn't pick up the background music at all.
