Not sure if this is a good place for career advice, but I thought - what do I have to lose (besides my dignity, confidence and self-respect)?
Been working here and there, but mostly on jobs that didn't involve coding. Latest job involved .NET. Have been toying with Unity in my free time, made a mini rpg with free assets, a couple of mini "games" to mock my casual comrades and so on.
Long story short, I think game systems design and level design is my definite calling. At the very least I would really like to work my way into the game industry until I am able to make my own creative decisions or fund my own project. The country I live in has no such thing. My questions are:
1) Should I try to look for a remote job as a junior/hobbyist dev or not even bother?
2) If yes, should I try making various level/area "demos" with free assets to put into my CV (or even work on a whole game in my free time) - in what way could I improve my chances?
3) Any other suggestions?
