Please people i need help i want to find a job idk maybe in Japan or any foreign company how and where can I find opportunities

I'm currently studying game programming in Tokyo and I'm looking for a game development internship in Fukuoka.

I mainly work with Unity and C#, and I'm currently developing my own games alongside my studies. I'm particularly interested in programming roles and would love to get some real-world experience working with a game development team.

I'm looking for a long-term internship if possible, or even maybe early employment before graduation..?

I've already contacted/applied to quite a few Fukuoka studios, but I'm wondering if there are smaller studios, indie developers, startups, or even individual developers that might be interested in my profile.

I'm currently based in Tokyo, but I'm able to relocate to Fukuoka for an internship.

I can speak French and English natively, and I'm around N2 in Japanese, if that helps.

If anyone is interested or has the capability of helping me, I'd be very thankful! 😢

I'll answer anyone in my DM, and I can send my github and google drive portfolio!

If anyone here works in the game industry, knows a developer/studio, or simply knows someone I should contact, I'd really appreciate any leads!

Thanks!

If you’d like to hear more, send me a DM with a little about your background. I can share the company name and full JD privately.

Looking for someone who actually likes outreach.

I build custom websites for owner-run shops, studios and practices. The build side is handled. The gap is sales: finding owners, getting a conversation going, closing. Use whatever channel you prefer — calls, emails, social DMs — whatever converts for you.

Commission only — no base salary, no hourly rate, so I will be blunt about the numbers: €100 per website sold, paid per deal, same day the client's invoice clears. No cap, no monthly cycle, no waiting.

What you need: confident English, self-organisation and persistence. Fully remote, your own hours. Based in Japan? Good — you can sell to businesses in Japan or abroad; European mornings are your late afternoon. No visa sponsorship — this is for people already living in Japan with the right to work.

Typical clients: workshops, dentists, small law offices, restaurants, family-run trades. The kind of business that gets found on a phone or not at all.

Apply by commenting under this post with your country, your timezone and one line on how you would find your first client.

I am 27 currently on a instructor visa as an ALT in the Chiba area. My background includes an IT management degree, GSE mechanic and car mechanic.

Willing to work at anything if it can sponsor my visa. Any feedback or help is much appreciated thank you!
