Jacob Stegmeier | Multiplayer Level Designer
JollyHolly replied to Jake Stegmeier's topic in Portfolios
Heya jake! Best of luck with finding a job in the industry! I have some feedback, but do keep in mind that they come from a junior level designer and should therefore not be overvalued! The first point is that your introduction page should not be the home page, rather, i would make your content the homepage, and instead creating an "about me" tab. This will make your content more accessible. And those who are curious about you then have a well presented option to find out more. secondly, i would probably cut back on a lot of the text presented in the introduction. Personaly, saying that you've always wanted to make games is a bit "sterotypical" and to me rings a bit fale (even tho its not the case) I would also be careful to present Level design philosophy as there is a chance that it does not ring well with whoever is trying to hire you (their studio may create different type of games, with other philosofies etc) , or you may sound a bit "know it all". However, maybe you know where you are going, and therefore know that what you are saying will increase your likelyhood of getting a job, just know that it might be limiting you. If you do keep it, i would change "i believe" to i think, as that is a rational statement, you wont come sound naive or arrogant. it is a bit irritating that the enter button is below the banner, as it is easy to misunderstand which picture belongs to which picture. I like how you present the information on the actual page. Pictures are great and espescially those showing the layout, however i came a cross some which are a bit heavy on text. Also, to the pages which does not have picture etc of main feature, i would add. Finally, there is a lot of scrolling. Consider making your content page a bit more compact, altho this might be that i am on a laptop and being nitpicky. I also like that i can download your content. best of luck! -

Hey man! saw some of your stream the other day. That editor you have seems pretty cool, are you happy with how it works? What kind of enemy is that down the door? Just a thought, wouldn't it be cool to introduce a strong melee enemy in a tight corridor like that - You enter the corridor - smoke starts coming out of the door as it opens, from the smoke emerges this creature , door closes behind it and charges towards you. Fight or flee!

Level Design Portfolio Feedback (Junior/intern Level)

Hey all! I am bumping this now as i am again looking for a junior position and it would be nice to have some senior input before i apply to different companies! Kind regards Johannes -
I mean not that i played a lot of APEX but one of the things i did say to my friends was that this game is going to fall of rather quickly, and i had no doubt about that. Its simply a far to shallow game, its too easy to master what's in it. Not enough strategy and not enough challenge in mastering the characters. The dip is not due to lack of content all though new characters would help, it was just never designed to be a gamed played for a long time by the masses.

Looks like his portfolio might be a bit too much on the wordy side -

I am not sure how important this feedback is ( I should add that i am not in the industry yet), First of all, I to think you have a nice style, and its easy to look at when it comes to color. I also like that each project has its own "box" nearly separated. However i do have a hard time figuring out where to look, there is a lot of things that want my attention, and my eyes does not know where to focus first. Its a bit information overload i think, and no wonder, a lot of the information is presented several times. Why show the projects on the front page, and at the same time have the option to show them under the "horizontal" bar on the top of the page? It just seems more complicated than it needs to be. I Would recommend keeping the Project links on the home page (super important, the best part of your portfolio) However removing "individual projects and Team projects from the horizontal bar , and instead move them down to the Home page instead.This will remove a lot of the information overload, and things will become more clearer. (Check my portfolio if you do not understand what i mean) Also, rename Individual projects to personal projects. IMO. There is also nothing that make me understand at a quick glance that you actually want to be a quest designer. I do know that it says quest designer at the top, but not really how it relates to your projects. This might also contribute to the "overload" feeling i might have. I just don't know what is relevant. I would make it more clear that you did Mission/Quest design at the projects by adding your role to the picture of each project, or as a part of the "greybox" which hold the name of the projects. Simply say (quest designer + level designer etc) That's it for now.

Sorry i did not see your reply! Yes of course it is Okay to use it, and i hope you did! If you need technical details of how i made it or similar i would be happy to help! Thank you -
I have been playing it and I really think it's fun. It exceeded my expectations by far. It's a bit hard to communicate with strangers online without a mic as their Coop-game does not seem to support VoIP. That is a shame, as I think this game could have some damn cool levels should it do. There are somethings which are a bit unclear, and understanding the systems (Wep-modding, how to manage survivors etc etc) is not very intuitive but it’s fine, as they focus un Replayability we will either learn it, or they will make it more accessible. Also, never really understood the point of the Andersson Camp, as everything besides turning in missions/bountys can be done through the UI? It would almost make more sense if they removed the UI and integrated it directly in the Camp-level, forcing you to do things at workstations instead. Wondering when games are going to create and connect to a Discord server automatically! This game would really be cooler could we communicate with those that we play with. It’s a nice balance between Action and stealth and I can see the Replayability in this as we did in payday 2. After having played the beta I recommend it, and I will probably spend some time in it.

Level Design Portfolio Feedback (Junior/intern Level)
JollyHolly replied to JollyHolly's topic in Portfolios
By the way, how would you define "levl Art" ? I don't do any modelling, however what i mean is set-dressing and simply placing the asset in the level. Would that not be considered level art? Or have i misunderstood things? -

Thanks for the feedback, especially with the docx and font pair. I had not thought about that. I agree that it is a bit weird regarding the Dying Light map, however i noticed that sometimes people would miss it if it were put under "individual projects". I wanted to stress that i have worked with one in-house engine! anyways, great feedback, thanks!
