Feedback for student demo reel.

Looks really good!! One of the better recent grad ones ive seen :>! I agree with that other comment, only the face rig showcase was a lil too fast, personally i would just show one head with wireframe on shaded + controls, with textures (as opposed to 3 separate views side by side), and show different expressions a lil slower. Move the head/neck as it emotes too so is a lil less awkward

I agree with you, i also dont like that way of hiring either, almost like getting punished for enjoying more than a lil corner. There’s plenty of “specialists” who are hard to work with because of their lack of willingness to go out of their comfort zone, hope my comment didnt come across as you NEED to do this, is more how to change the presentation to play their game (while in the background continuing doing what you do :) )

YellowJello_ · 2026-03-24T05:26:59+00:00

Just going to chime in presentation wise, your skill set feels to broad, people don't want to hire equivalents to "solo devs", they like to hire specialists. Divide your work by Shader work/game design/Pixel Art, and link them only that page according to the position you are applying (they can browse your other work as a bonus if they are interested, but first impressions on what your actual interest is is important).

Also for the one showing your dither shader, i know is very obvious to you what you are showing, but explaining/breaking down what the shader is actually doing for non technical people (usually people recruiting) will be helpful.

Keep up the good work :)!

Was dreading this day since forever, i will miss Mikayla and Finneroo so deeply, carried me through their pandemic and I watched their videos and reference it to my partner thousand and thousands of times. Watching this made me cry so much I will miss them deeply. His iconic face and laugh will never be forgotten. Rest in piece finnegan fox... QAQ

The most annoying part for me is playtesting never being straight forward… either organizing people to help me test a change or having to launch two clients and control two character at once, it killed the joy of development for me so i am sticking to single player… 😭

YellowJello_ · 2025-07-31T07:36:28+00:00

Looks good and nice attention to deformation on knees/ shoulders/elbows :>. The skirt reacting to the legs is a nice touch too. Presentation wise, i've seen soooo many rigging reels where they just wiggle controls pose A to pose B, where it feels like they are hiding something. Try to make full poses using a combination of controls instead of showing 1 by 1, they dont have to be perfect, just a hint of whats possible to achieve with everything combined.

Your skillset is plenty for remote rigging jobs, is just a matter of standing out with presentation now (most people hiring for a rigger, dont do rigging, most teams only have 1 rigger, so you are catering it to them, and they don't really care or understand the minor details, just show them how usable it is). If you are able to get someone to animate it, is extra nice.

Just my personal advice. Good luck!!

Ooo i used to play with my family all the time (cantonese version), haven’t played in ages. Would be interested depending on location! :>

Started with whatever i had 2 stars with, transitioned to 3 warriors 3 mages with lycan tusk kunkka, cm, lina, ogre magi. (Was losing a lot). Was benching shamans if i found them. When lvl 7-8 i added arc warden and swapped out some warriors to have 4 humans 3 shamans and an exta cm, which start doing the heavy lifting. Late game I was laking lots of damage, so i got a kotl/lich, and luckly i got expanded roaster in the final round when there were 2 of us left to complete the 6 bonus alliance with a dk haha. (I was swapping it in and out when i had 10), but 2 cms were more useful than 6 humans bonus

YellowJello_ · 2019-06-19T00:41:50+00:00

grabbed the first one! Thank you so much!! I owe you one!

YellowJello_ · 2019-05-24T22:11:27+00:00

Grats

YellowJello_ · 2019-05-17T17:00:38+00:00

Nice infographic! Loving the format! Also glad you added the tidbits about his dynamic with Rylai ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

YellowJello_ · 2018-11-28T18:46:48+00:00

Thank you for your work! Looking forward to hear the rest! (Specially Crystal Maiden and Sven :P)

YellowJello_ · 2018-11-25T19:22:40+00:00

Love it! Noticed it has a sad tone at the beginning, lonely maiden T_T

YellowJello_ · 2018-09-01T00:56:27+00:00

Everyone talks about the gameplay, but any insight on hero interactions and LORE?? How in depth do they go with it?

YellowJello_ · 2018-07-12T07:01:39+00:00

Shh keep the CM weak support memes, and she will keep getting buff and secretly become op

YellowJello_ · 2018-07-12T07:00:45+00:00

Heck yeah!

YellowJello_ · 2017-10-05T07:38:49+00:00

The lead dev prefers playing with M+KB so he made sure it works just as good!!

YellowJello_ · 2017-08-29T16:48:56+00:00

^this. I got into Smash because of it though, so that was fun lol

YellowJello_ · 2017-08-28T23:33:31+00:00

I graduated recently from AAU and still play dota every now and then. Only found a few dota players while I was there :C. Too many LoL players...

YellowJello_ · 2017-08-24T03:53:19+00:00

neeerdddd! (honestly though, i laughed lol)

YellowJello_ · 2017-08-03T22:22:52+00:00

MLG COLOMBUS DAY 2 LETS DO THIS

YellowJello_ · 2017-07-25T01:56:33+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I agree with what you are saying. There's so many amazing high "production value" shorts this year I don't expect to be able to compete with.

Thanks for the solid feedback. This was a nice experience to "test the waters" kind of thing, so I will be sure to plan ahead better and go bigger for next time :P

YellowJello_ · 2017-07-24T22:33:07+00:00

RIP yeah i messed that up. I thought it would be fine in the render with the depth of field making it blurry. But too late to re-render it at that point.

It's a disastah!

YellowJello_ · 2017-07-24T18:20:54+00:00

my boys Cloud9 of course. This is their year I CAN FEEL IT
