I've been living in Japan on a working holiday visa working professionally as a games dev (remotely to the UK) , sadly I was affected by the recent layoffs within the games industry along with a lot of other people and my working holiday visa ends soon. I would like to continue living here (sadly I cant extend as I'm too old now) and I'm looking to get a skilled visa with my many years of game dev experience.
I'm reaching out to see if anyone here knows of any active groups within Japan of people currently active within the Japanese games industry, I would like to network with similar minded people, I'm based in Tokyo.
I found some meet up groups online but it seems like they are not active anymore since covid.
Many thanks.
– Sorry if this breaks the rules. I'm not promoting simply seeking knowledge of the game dev scene in Japan
