This semester I finished my bachelors degree requirements and I want to get into game development (yes the markets bad I get it) currently have 2 choices:

1. Extend my degree by a semester or two to find an internship (Not guaranteed it would even be game development related)
2. Really lock in on creating portfolio projects and hopefully release something that gets a couple of players while building my coding skills.

Unfortunately I didn't get to do much self-directed coding over the duration of my degree so I feel like coding is something that I really need practice in.

On the other hand I know that Coops don't really require crazy good coding skills but I have already applied to about 150-200 postings over the duration of my degree and only got one interview where I made to the last interview but didn't get it.

Even if the whole game dev angle doesn't work out, I feel like im learning so much creating my own game that im confident I could switch to something more corporate.

Thanks!
