This is so interesting to see, definitely keep us updated! I‘m always debating if I want to continue on my path of content creation and freelancing or jump into the industry so this is pretty insightful. Good luck to you!
I dont have any education in Videogame industry jobs ( like VFX, 3d artistry, etc ) But, I am going to try to work on my own to learn Houdini and Unreal, and make a portfolio. Self learning this stuff gonna be difficult, but thankfully I have some resources on Udemy that will hopefully help! gl on your journey! :D
