Does the programmer's portfolio remain relevant when changing direction?

Question

Career in IT

I am a game programmer. I work on my own projects, I have a portfolio, but all projects are related to game development. Let's say I decided to retrain in applied programming. Will my portfolio projects remain relevant? Or will it be worth doing your own projects and refilling your portfolio?

Answer 1

they won't be relevant.
but will be a huge plus.
this, if simple.
if more difficult, you need to look at a specific case.
for example, in igrodeve you were engaged in lighting - perhaps these skills will be in demand by the employer in the development of the editor or plugins, then the experience will be relevant.

Answer 2

It seems to me that at this level it makes no sense to bother about the portfolio
