Hello,
I am graduating soon, and I would like to start my game development career. In addition, I would like to relocate. Ideally, to Canada or France (still expecting to use English at work, I would like to be able to speak French on the everyday basis). However, some other countries from Western Europe such as Italy and Germany would also work great, in my opinion.
My background, besides B.S. in software engineering, includes 7 year experience of participation in various programming competitions (with best results being around 20th place in North-Eastern regional contest of ACM ICPC), therefore I have strong knowledge in algorithms and passion to apply them not only to tasks from such competitions but to real world problems as well.
On the bad side, I have almost no experience in game development except for some small (and mostly not finished, though it's fixable) projects written in C++ (with using OpenGL), Python (in Kivy framework) and Java (for Android, without using any specific libraries at all).
Can you suggest any good companies where they will at least consider my application and I will be able to proceed to the online interview with such skill set?
Thanks in advance.
