    Okay, I finally got a portfolio. Big thanks to PhilipK for helping me put it together!

    If you want to take a look at it, you can just click this underlined text, and it will appear!

    I'm gonna upload all my maps to FPSBanana so there will be some consistency to the download links, and I'll probably have an option to download the maps directly from my site as well. Hopefully I will get around to fixing that today.

    Okay, so let me know what you think already!

    Id certainly put your resume on it as well, and more information and pictures of what you did. Right now it just lists the games you work on, but I have no clue really what exactly you did. Did you do art or scripting, or lighting, and so on. I also think you can prolly take some more screens of the stuff you did.

    Your portfolio is clean, it's easy to navigate through it, in my opinion it's perfect except from the fact that you're not specific enough, just like Hourences said.

    It's not really clear what you made in the screens, unless you made everything you can see in the screenshots?

    PS: All your maps are brilliant, I played most of them, and really liked them, gj!

    The screens from GRAW2 and BC are just officially released screenshots. I was thinking of not even having them "pop-up-able" at all, since thats mainly a resume of what professional games I've worked on. But yes, I can certainly write a few lines about what I did on the projects.

    Glad you like my levels, punky!

    Fun fact; even though the map is called Postoffice, it is actually not set in a postoffice. This upset some people which were on the lookout for a map set in a postoffice.

    I was most upset at this outcome.

    I'm with the rest about the layout and stuff. I just have one thing in mind though, and it might be because im very old. "CV is available upon request, just give me a few hours to write it first." <-- now this, this tells me you are a lazy bitch and put everything and anything up until you absolutely have to do it. I would rather see you take that off completely or just write a CV It might be a generation thingy though i don't know, but thats what i would think if i was to hire you.

    Yeah, I'd agree with the CV comment that while tinged with light humour is probably going to cause more harm than good. I'd definitely remove that if seriously sending this to companies.

    Nothing else to add really, other than that I think it looks nice.

    Good work magnar, I love the maps descriptions =)

    I'd increase the main font size a little as it looks kinda jaggy on my monitor... not sure if its only me though.

    don't like the popup windows though.. maybe something like highslidejs or litebox would work nicer

    i love it for its sheer simplicity and the effectiveness of getting the message across. however, im not sure that's all that scouts are looking for. but wouldn't you also want to include what tools you're proficient in and other such info? it seems like all that's listed is you name, email address and pics of your work.

    The content looks great, but I think you ought to put the CV up too, either as an HTML page or a .doc link. You may also want to consider putting your name / website address / email on the screenshots so that they can stand alone and people can still get back to your site. Just minor things really -- I really like the way the work is laid out and the design is nice.
