Hello All,
I am newer to game development after many years working professionally in a different field. As I am coming to the completion of a B.S. in game programming, my previous experience with trying to find my first job in a different professional field is haunting me. To sum it up I had a difficult time finding a job in the field due to not having any previous in industry work experience. I notice that a lot of job descriptions within game programming and development are also looking for in industry experience, or previously shipped titles etc.. As someone who wants to get into game programming as a living when my degree is completed, what would you all recommend as a way to overcome this lack of in industry experience, or what would be the best path to gain this experience moving forward?
