How to get internship as a game programmer?

With over 16 years in the gaming industry, here are few of my insights on internships and their significance in the gaming development industry.

Understanding Internships

• Internships provide a platform to gain experience and primarily focus on learning by doing.

• It's an opportunity to join a company to learn, as they can teach you many things from within the industry.

• Internships are a crucial step for those looking to switch fields, offering a significant learning curve.

Key Steps for Aspiring Game Developers

1. Understanding the basics of game development is essential. Start with popular engines like Unity and familiarize yourself with the programming languages used widely within the industry.

2. Apply the theoretical knowledge by implementing what you learn through tutorials and create basic prototypes.

3. Your prototypes and projects can significantly showcase your skills. Platforms like GitHub or a personal website can be used to display your work in a portfolio, so make one.

4. Research companies and apply for internships. Don't just limit yourself to local opportunities; explore global possibilities as well.
