Hey everyone!
My name is Eric Chocholacek and I'm an aspiring Level Designer. I graduated from a Game Art and Design course ~4 years ago now and have been invested in my job as a QA tester for the past few years, so the level designer dream was sadly pushed to the backburner. I was hoping that being in QA would help me get my foot in the door, but I've unfortunately never been in the right place at the right time as my work has mainly consisted of off-site work and contractor limitations. However, I've recently found the motivation to get back into it and have been plugging away at a project I'm calling "Split/Edit" and realized my portfolio website was pretty outdated and needed some love too!
Here's the link to my website: http://www.ericchocholacek.com
I'm looking for basically everything mentioned in the pinned post of this forum and would really appreciate any feedback you could supply regarding the website itself (is it easy to navigate? Do you know where to go when looking for examples of my work? Is the home/main page too busy? Is my floating head at the bottom of the page too weird/unprofessional?) as well as the work I have displayed. Additionally, I'm always on the look out for a level designer position within the industry and would be excited to further discuss any opportunities.
Thanks in advance for any feedback and help you can provide!
Please note that the Split/Edit page is still heavily WIP. I've added screenshots of what I've collected during my development thus far (definitely need some more for the blocking phase) but continue to add more as I get closer to the final version of the game.
