I&#x27;ve found that people are more accessible than you expect. Try going to a game dev meetup or just sending some emails to local game studios. Be honest about what you want, and ask if you can bring them coffee or lunch to discuss what you should do next.<p>You might find that 9 out of 10 people are busy and never respond or stop responding to your emails, but you only need that 1 out of 10 to give you advice and possibly give you a warm contact at a local company.
