Other roles in game dev.

Hello all!

I am looking to see if anyone has any tips on getting into Game Dev outside of development.

I have always been on the business side of the equation - I love the art and process behind development but could never get the grasp of it fully. I am fully in the camp of making “things” happen so that others can focus on the job - It’s practically a superpower at this point. This being said however, I only seem to find roles that only deal with development or extremely specific skills that can only be gained with actual industry experience. I’ve tried networking, but that only gets you so far and you can only pester the same people so much.

I’d love to get in a studio, but it seems to be dev exp only or bust. Anyone have tips on how to get my foot in the door with a business degree instead of an SDev one?
