Both copywriting in gaming and narrative design are very niche and competitive. If all you’ve done is pharma then I don’t think you’ll have the portfolio needed to break in
However if it’s your dream and you’re willing to start low, you might be able to do it with a spec portfolio
Overall don’t quit your job, especially in this market… gaming is going through crazy layoffs and there are a ton of people with experience that just become your competition.
Instead work on your portfolio on the side, save up money and start networking. You never know and if you make something cool people will give you a shot
Getting into the games industry is likely harder than getting into advertising. Hope you have some good connections!
Go for it!!!! A friend of mine worked for Mad Catz as a designer. He had no prior experience, other than medical design work, but he is darn good at what he does. Maybe start at a niche business and make connections in the gaming industry until you find the role you want. Good luck! https://www.madcatz.com/
