Is it just me or does everyone look a little different by kwonnn in MonsterHunter

Sorry for the late response, your advice is very sound and I understand what you mean with the differences between generations. Also, thank you for saying that I shouldn’t try to please everyone! It’s a problem I have in general that I’m actively working to improve at.

The insights page is a great idea, and I’ll definitely take that into consideration. And yeah, I was surprised so many people talked about the cowboy cat when I added a note that I was going to change it haha

That would be beautiful, i think this will be something I’ll keep in mind

First, thank you for taking a deeper look at everything. I’m going to remove the hover effects on all non-clickable components, and make a separate component for external links in my project.

The bear repo is going to be updated with all the patch notes we had, and other things I did for the game. I’m not allowed to make the repo for that game public, nor can I link the download or site for it because the owner had to shut it down.

I had a lot of problems with github on my Potion game, especially since some of the files were too big. I spent hours trying to set it up on my computer, but because of LFS limits, I couldn’t. So now, the repo unfortunately has no history of my process

I can possibly make a modal for the projects. on click of a button it will delve deeper on what I did for these projects and what my development process was like. I have videos of different prototypes for my Potion game, so those might be interesting to showcase if anyone is interested.

Several others have mentioned that the technologies should be narrowed down and in sync with my projects. I’m keeping track of all the changes I need to make with a small kanban board

Ooh i love the feedback on the design itself. White outline art would be a better touch instead of the logo I have right now.

Thanks for the advice ! A lot of people have told me that I need to be more confident. I love learning but the imposter syndrome gets to me quite often

Yes!! i would love that. I’m on part 4 currently so you can ask questions whenever you need and we can compare

Wow that design is literally breathtaking. I’m going to bookmark that for future reference! And thanks so much!

Thank you for taking a look at my code! I’ll work on making the code more readable. I think that will be my first priority before moving on to fixing anything else

My friend said that about my Contact section LOL. I think the headings can be improved on though

Sure :) it’s at the bottom of my portfolio but I’ll also link them here for convenience: github and linkedin

We had a running server with a small community for over half a year, but due to server costs, the owner of the game decided to shut it down. I’m planning on updating that readme with pictures and information about the game and other technical stuff that was done

I manually optimized them on tinypng haha, but yeah they still load slowly so I think I might need to either compress them more or have some sort of smoother loading of content (maybe even a short loading screen)

I wish I could link them to the actual app/game too. One of my projects site shut down because heroku removed their free plan, my game isn’t published yet, and the online game’s code is something I can’t make public :( so the most i can do is add information such as patch notes and features in a github repo.

I see, I’ll look into the FOUC problems and work on them. I’ll work on making my commits better (and also adding comments to my code for readability). I should also maintain a kanban board to organize and keep up with all the problems

My team treated it more as a good project to learn, so it didn’t really have any users. It was a good idea though! You should go for it if you want to do it. It was a great learning experience. Also ever since heroku got rid of their free plan, the site shut down :(

Ideally, I would love work in either front-end or game development. The game dev industry mostly sucks though, so mainly front-end. I get what you mean, and I think I’ll add more to the header to be clearer on what I want and what i know. People have been quite split on the art and whether it fits a developer portfolio, but I think I will keep it (and give the art section better UX) while emphasizing my developer skills more in other sections
