As obviously noted on the front page, I’ve been restructuring this website to appear more like one would expect a creative portfolio to look like. Originally, the redesign was in preparation for Game Developers Conference (GDC), but while the event has been postponed, I still believed a redesign was well worth the effort.
Like most sites, this site is powered by WordPress, and originally used Twenty Seventeen as the theme. Alas, Twenty Seventeen isn’t made for creative portfolios, so working with it in the past was a bit frustrating. This year, I’ve committed to developing my own theme, Game Dev Portfolio (based off of Underscore), to create a reactive website more closely aligned with what’s expected from a creative portfolio. In addition, I’ve also developed my own plugin, the Rèsumè Block, to create the timeline seen in the Rèsumè page. Both are open-sourced on Github under GPL, version 2. Feel free to use it for your own purposes!
While I could probably make a couple more enhancements to the theme, I believe the current theme and plugin has enough features to be considered stable. That said, if there are any recommendations on content to add to this website, I’m definitely interested in hearing about it. Let me know on the respective Github repo! Happy blogging!
