#talent database

New icons have been made for the talent database in preparation for a site update. What do you think?

Probably the hardest one to find something for was “narrative designer.”

StoryDevs is a place for developers of story-focused games and visual novels to find each other and collaborate. The site is under development but handle reservations are open: www.storydevs.com/reserve

Time for another update!

Multiple Talent Profiles

I’m thinking of making it so you can have multiple talent profiles, allowing you to tailor them to specific circumstances. First, a quick refresher on talent profiles:

StoryDevs has a talent database which allows you to search for devs you want to work with. When you perform a search on the talent database, you’ll see a bunch of results (there’s only one above because I’m testing stuff!), and then ultimately you’ll end up viewing a talent profile such as the one on the right

Your talent profile shows an example of your work at the top, then your name, followed by a bunch of resume-ish stuff below such as projects you’ve worked on, skills you have, etc. Sometimes you’ll want to apply for two different positions with two different sets of requirements though. Well...!

Rather than editing one profile, having multiple profiles allows you to keep two or three and link to them depending on the type of people you’re trying to appeal to. Above you can see I have a “Programming - Web Dev“ and “Programming - Game Dev“. They’re both programming but you’d write your resume differently depending on which you were applying to.

Anyway, the design isn’t fully fleshed out yet. For example, I’m not sure how to handle the search with multiple profiles. Can two of your profiles appear in the same search if they both match? My intuition says that would be irritating for the person searching (”didn’t I just look at this person?”)

It may just be that you have to nominate one general searchable profile then make the rest accessible by direct link.

Error Handling

Error handling just means “when the program (in this case a website) fails, what happens?” In the past StoryDevs has been pretty hit or miss here. Sometimes it would gracefully tell you it can’t find what you’re looking for, other times... you’d get scary black and white code on the screen telling you the program has died.

Well, now it’s much better. Below is what happens when there’s a 404 — that’s the numerical code for when a website can’t find what you’re asking for because it’s be deleted, moved, or there was a URL typo.

The other type of error is a program error. This is a polite way of saying my code has a bug in it.

The difference between these two errors is that the 404 is most commonly caused by users (it’s not even really an error per se — just an acknowledgement that the thing can’t be found), while a program error is more serious and usually caused by the programmer.

Patreon Update

Recently my dad was unexpectedly hospitalised and will probably been in hospital for at least another 6 months, if not much longer. In that time no one has had access to his money, so I’ve had to cover his bills as well as mine. It’s no exaggeration to say the Patreon was the only way I could keep the site up last month, so I just wanted to say thanks for that.

Other than that, I’ve changed the $20 goal to $25. Previously it including hosting the site, plus the domain names. Now it’s both of those plus a private GitHub repository, which is $7 a month. Currently the Patreon is at $24 a month.
