Only advise I can tell you is to make shit, either on your own or as part of a small fan game. But keep making shit and slowly (or not, becoming viral is always a thing) people will come to you. Start talking to other artists, go to events when you can. The life of game dev requires a lot of self promotion nowadays unless you're lucky enough to have an in.

mmm. i'm working on a shmup by myself at the moment but it's kinda hard to concentrate on, i'd rather be doing a fan translation/repackage but i need to improve my skills before i can get stuck into that.
perth is a hole as far as game dev goes so i'm gonna be on the interwebs mostly.

Seriously though, you need to network like a motherfucker. College doesn't teach you much you couldn't learn yourself other than how to work within a team/business/beaurocracy.

I had a double major in English and Marketing (with like a 3.95GPA in each), and couldn't land an unpaid internship as a copywriter because I didn't have any experience (so go to those fucking job fairs).

After leaving the country, I finally got a job as a copywriter thanks to DarkAxel (:hug:), and have subsequently had freelance stuff drop into my lap once a month just by talking to people. Which brings us back to network like a motherfucker.

Cosigned so hard. I have a 'real job' now* but I was paying my bills with freelancing in a creative industry for a while. As long as you know people and develop a reputation for delivering what they want on the deadlines they set you'll be fine, but you need to know people in order to do that, and school/university is the best place to cultivate those relationships. It's exactly the same as being in a 'successful band,' tbh (not that I have a fucking clue about that harr harr harr)

*And, actually, I got my 'real job' by freelancing for someone that recommended me because... wait for it... we went to school together and he knew I could do good work and his bosses knew he wouldn't give that recommendation if he didn't mean it.

I live in a world where 8pm is super late for me.

This truly is the darkest timeline. :cry:

You just have to draw enjoyment from the fact that on another timeline, everything is awesome and you're doing great!

FUCK THIS THING IN PARTICULAR is something I say to myself to feel better. It's surprisingly effective.
