Ive done a quick course in game dev (cert 2) and a good friend of mine did a full cert in it and now owns his own indie place with friends. If i can help you at all in that let me know. Its also what im going to do in future after uni is done.

If you want to know about writing hit up dippa. Hes the best writer ive seen around.

Try and work less (enough to get by) and use the rest of your time trying to find the way into whatever you decide you'd prefer to do (try and build up some writing or video editing services or something, but that kind of thing doesn't make a living overnight).

I say stick it out with teaching until you can make it back to Aus

if you cant live with your gf, have you asked if you can stay with your gf parents instead?

im not a lawyer, doctor or CEO so her parents only let her see me because she lies to them

No chance of staying with them
I will do english teaching if I can land a job doing that - its getting harder and harder with more americans coming over and the koreans think that american is the true form of english :s

I did a year and a half of study on the artistic side of game dev, most of which is obsolete now haha.

Yeah I think game design/development combines pretty much everything I enjoy but don't want to end up working for a shitty company putting out the umpteenth bloody sports game or modern warfare shooter.

I did some work for a guy who was the lead designer for all the gore (just the gore!) in modern warfare. He lives in a big fkn house. tho, this does not help your situation

Since money is the issue now.
Money first, everything else can come later.

Maybe try and get a job at a bank or similar large corporation that has a graphic design department/ section will give you training as you progress along. This kind of job might progress from low responsiblity web design up to the management of creative projects for their online section. I think there is decent money doing this and a proper career pathway for the longer term. Also banks have branches all over the place so you could transfer to a branch in Aus when you are ready to move on from Korea.
