Hey ! I'm more oriented towards gameplay programming than CG programming, and I haven't worked in the video games industry yet but it's a long-term goal for me.

Apart from gamejams & students projects I don't have professionnal experience in video games, do you have any advice for a beginner like me who would like to enter in the industry ?

Thanks !

Also, is it better to begin in a AAA company or in smaller / indy companies to get experience ? I often see job offers with a X years of experience in the industry requirement, so I'm not really sure where I should begin yet with my small experience.

If you just want to host the code / project, Git should do the job. If you want to host the binaries, maybe a Google Drive / One Drive ? Good question.

What tips could you give to a "newbie" game programmer like me that has no professionnal experience in game dev, but a few personnal projects (gamejams), to enter the video games industry ?

Yup, I often browse r/gamedev and r/unity3d for example.

Thanks for the bonus tip, I have never tried this directly with a developer / lead, I guess I should then :P
