You can always put your experience on your CV, regardless of NDAs. You shouldn't talk about the specifics of the setting, characters, copyrighted stuff like that, but you should be able to talk generally about the things you did. Just write about what you built, how you built it, and (when asked) talk about the challenges you faced and what you decisions you made.
For example, the last project I worked on is still unannounced. I'm still under NDA on the specifics, but I can still say that I worked on AI combat, on AI navigation, on quest tooling, on spells and abilities, on boss battles, and on scripted quest sequences. I can talk about more specific details about what I did in each of these particular fields, my considerations and tradeoffs, and general stuff about the project - the genre, the kind of tools I used while working on it, and so on.
You can always talk about what work you've done, just focus on keeping it to your own contributions and not about the specifics of the project itself (e.g. IP, release date, features or content you didn't work on, etc.). If you are unsure and willing, feel free to drop in to our discord server or reach out via twitter or bluesky and we can do a CV review.
