Hello!
I am trying to enter the field of video game development. One of the tips I consistently;y see everywhere is to make connections and contacts with those in the industry to help you through your journey as a mentor. However, where am I supposed to find these connections? Often when I approach people online (the only place I can connect at the moment ) it is met with radio silence.
Could anyone give me any tips? I would love to pick someone's brain about a career in the industry.
Thanks!
Where do you live? Are you a member of the IGDA?
Your question was in the wrong forum. It has been moved to the Game Career Development forum.
So you're near Carnegie Mellon. Maybe you're a student now. Maybe you know Jesse Schell, the head of CMU's game program; he can give you advice. And I assume the faculty are all industry professionals. Maybe some grads of CMU's game program have founded game companies nearby and are willing to mentor. And maybe the IGDA has a Pittsburgh chapter. Join the IGDA. Check gamedevmap.com (type in your location in the Search box) to see what game companies are near you.

You mean https://forum.unity.com/ ? I don't see any places there where people can ask career advice.
