Breaking into freelance game programming is rough. My biggest hurdle? Finding clients. This industry's all about contacts, which I barely have.

How do other freelance game devs (artists, designers, programmers) land gigs? (Is cold pitching game companies a thing?)

"Niche down" is tricky for programming. I'm trying console ports, but not being a platform partner is a pain.

Is freelancing even viable in games, or should I just get a regular job?

Hello Technie's,
I am in a confused state of mind with my current situation & I can surely use some advice from you guys.
I'm working with a product company for almost 5+ yrs now & recently decided to separate from them for obvious compensation reasons.
I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?
