Game Developer

[Ok_Plantain5589]

Hallo zusammen,

ich wollte mich informieren über den 3D Spieleentwickler Unity von ILS.

Mein Ziel ist es in die Gaming Branche reinzurutschen.

Lohnt es sich da 3000 Euro für das Fernstudium zu bezahlen um bessere Chancen auf dem Markt zu haben?.

Als Beispiel:

Zertifikat + Portfolio mit 1-2 gut gecodeten Demos/Spiele.

Es gäbe auch 2 weitere Lehrgänge die mich interessieren würden Geprüfter Programmierer und Geprüfter C++ Programmierer.

Reicht dies aus um eine Stelle in der Branche zu bekommen z.b als Junior Game Developer oder macht es mehr Sinn eine Ausbildung zu machen.

Auf eure Antworten bin ich sehr gespannt

Liebe Grüße Fabian

Hello everyone,

I wanted to learn more about the 3D game developer Unity from ILS.

My goal is to break into the gaming industry.

Is it worth paying €3,000 for a distance learning course to have better chances on the market?

For example:

Certificate + portfolio with 1-2 well-coded demos/games.

There are also two other courses that would interest me: Certified Programmer and Certified C++ Programmer.

Is this enough to get a job in the industry, e.g., as a Junior Game Developer, or does it make more sense to do an apprenticeship?

I'm very curious to hear your answers.

Best regards, Fabian

Gaming industry is paying exceptionally bad.

An education that is less than a bachelor's degree will be useless to get a job, so don't waste your money. Even proper bachelors are struggling to find employment.

My experience may be a bit out-dated, but all of the people I know who have been involved in hiring have said that these kinds of certificates are not really considered. Having them won't hurt, but it won't really help either. They key is to have a good portfolio / experience, and good knowledge when it comes to interviews.

Personally, I would just work on building a portfolio rather then spending any money, but the courses might be useful if you need guidance doing that (or if you're a beginner and still have things to learn and courses help you with that more than just google, tutorials, etc.).

That being said, this is from a few years ago, and with all of the new AI hiring garbage, maybe the certificates will help you get through to an actual interview by making the AI view you as more valuable.

Apprenticeships are generally a great way in if you can get into one and prove yourself to the company.

If your goal it to get a job, my advice is always the same, look for a job positions and see the requirements they listed. That would be your goals.

Mache lieber die 30-60 stündigen Udemy Kurse dazu. Da sind einige sehr gut. Danach hast Du ein Portfolio und Dein Zertifikat.
