I’m trying to build a game development portfolio, but I’m mainly focused on the programming side rather than art or level design. I’m also more interested in 3D game development and not really into 2D. I wanted to ask what kinds of projects actually stand out for gameplay programmer or technical game dev roles. I’d also really appreciate examples of good programming-focused portfolios or GitHub repos if anyone has recommendations. Mainly trying to understand what projects actually prove programming ability and how polished they need to be before moving on to the next one.
