මොන ගේම් development ද බන් මෙහෙ. හොද company එකක ජොබ් එකක් හොයාගෙන දැනට, පිට රටකට ගිහින් ඕවා හොයපන්

දැන් ඉතින් කොහෙහරි Intern එක කරපන් නැත්තම් Batch එකේ ඔක්කොම ඉන්ටන් කරනකොට උබට බලන් ඉන්න වෙයි.
උබට අසා උනාට නිකන්ම Game Developing යන්න බැහැ. Intern කරන කාලේ ඔය පැත්තේ experience ගන්න Project දෙක තුනක් තනියම කරපන්. ඊට පස්සේ ඒ knowledge එකෙන් Interview වලට face කරන්න පුළුවන්

I studied games programming. It's somewhat of a niche. From what I've learned from my experiences best advice I can give you is find an internship regardless of being games development. Maybe choose this in something that has really good career opportunities. But if you have time to wait it's your choice (After all it comes down to what you want and waht you choose.)

Then use your own time to build game projects. This is the most important part. Most of the successful games developers have a portfolio of their own projects. You can start small, but this is the most crucial part. If you are in Sri Lanka try to make into Sim Centric. They work with Bohemia Interactive, develops VBS2 Military simulation. This is similar to Arma 2 game. You can start some projects with this as well. There's tons of content out there and the community is huge.

I forgot to mention I already have basic understanding of game dev/design. I have been doing freelance projects in game dev for around 2 years.(Unity)

I just want to solidify my role as a game dev and gain more prog. I am scared if I go into full stack/web (I don't love them) I will not be very motivated or I will hate the job.

Apply foreign companies as well.

Make your own games at night. Do a regular dev day job.
