I'm currently leaving the IT Specialist world and want to enter the software development field. My plan is to create a virtual experience integrating licensing where people can purchase fashion or visit wonders of the world from the comfort of their own home (ex: Bali or the Louvre in Paris), but first I'm going to start with a smaller project like The Forum Shops in Caesars lol.

This overall process will integrate architecture and fashion design into a virtual reality experience.

My question is, where do I start schooling wise as a person leaving the IT field entering software development. Also, would this be considered software engineer in game development and are there any certs I should I pick up on the way for good measures.
