Bakalakadaka posted:I have a bit over 6 years of experience as a software developer using InterSystems Cache/IRIS (no one ever knows what this). I'm thinking of trying to make a jump to games because that was basically the reason I first went into a CS degree a decade ago, and also because the future of my current employer is a bit uncertain at the moment due to management problems. Never heard of IRIS, but from a quick read about it, it does seem the most natural transition would be to something like a multiplayer backend type thing, or maybe platform/infrastructure work. Lots of clouds and databases in that sort of thing. You might have some luck applying to that sort of thing as is, but it’s not really my area, so can’t say for certain. If you’re wanting to do something more gameplay oriented, you’ll probably need to pick up some more game-specific skills. You can pick up a lot of the fundamentals picking up an engine like Unity and just trying to make stuff and going through tutorials. Most gameplay jobs will also require familiarity with C++, though for Unity specifically, C# might be all they care about.

Residual Toast posted:Yeah I've been looking for Unity dev work, but it seems like it's either web3 crypto companies or people wanting Unreal right now. Not super great! You might be able to swing the C# familiarity from Unity into a tools type position, but yeah Unreal or at least something involving C++ is generally gonna be more useful in the AA-AAA space.
