[Question] Scripting - Level Design Portfolio

[Greg D'Alessandro]

How do you showcase scripting/coding ability in a level design portfolio? Thank you.

I would guess screenshots (maybe even webm/gif animations) of the final product as well as a detailed explanation of the project indicating what you were responsible for.

In terms of scripting, you're talking visual scripting and/or stuff like animated scenes, or stuff like LUA that modifies the behaviours of something?

Either case we talking of something not really screenshot-able (except for something like a blueprint); best thing imo is capture a video and then describe what you've done in a "case study" page on your portfolio.

I would even consider to display this sort of thing in a "gym" map, so that the environment doesn't distract from the core mechanics you've implemented.

What kind of scripting / coding did you do?

Make a short video - cut to the parts where things are happening, I've not needed to do that, but I would do if I made a HL2 sp level and wanted to show it.
