How to make money on game development?

Straight to the point.
I am in the 11th grade, I need to earn about 100k for my studies in 8 months.
Now I have been developing games for 3 months, but due to my inexperience, my project earned less than $1.5 in 5 weeks. Faced with the reality, I realized that this would be very difficult to do, so I decided to ask you for advice.
1. Do I have a chance to earn that much more than 5%? (your opinion)
2. I would like to get advice from you on how to promote yourself as a game developer, plus increase earnings from games.
I should post my games on my account on Google Play or better through different publishers (I’ll say right away that I don’t have very good games now, but I work on this almost all my free time (30+ hours a week).
3. Maybe it's better to go freelancing on the web for the sake of money (Yes, I understand that it will be difficult to work in any field both in the development of games and on the web)
What I have now.
1. Unstable artist.
2. Experience with Unity and a couple of completed projects.
3. Average knowledge of English (B1), I can read documentation with some difficulties.
4.Basic knowledge of C#,HTML,CSS,bootstrap.
5.School and many tutors.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------
Your opinions were divided: the first said that it was worth going to freelance, and the second drowned for game development, because there are a lot of people on freelancing and it is very difficult for a beginner to pick up an order.
Freelancing was my choice. Maybe I'm wrong and this idea will fail, but I can't find out without trying.
Thanks for your advice :)

If we are talking specifically about mobile games, then we need marketing, buying traffic. That means you need money. And even if they are, you need confidence that they will pay off. That is, in a small region, check that the average earnings per player is greater than the cost of attracting one player. If this is not the case, then the game is being finalized or closed. You have a 0%
chance to make money on Google Play without marketing . The chance to make money with money and a good marketing friend, but with the experience indicated in the question, you have 1% . Try freelancing. In 8 months you can master 100k.

1. No.
2. Without good and expensive advertising in the current realities - it is unrealistic, only if your idea is not breakthrough and you are just lucky.
3. Earn even less.
Study, take exams and try to enter the budget.
You can earn 100,000 rubles in 8 months at McDonald's. Think.

You know, perhaps, if in such a situation you manage to earn 100k in 8 months on games, then you don’t need any university)

Yes, lan for eight months 100k, they wrote correctly, you can earn money in a poppy.
If you want toys. We make html5 chewing gum once a month and sell it to sponsors for 300-500 bucks. And we have a profit of 30 k per month. The main graphics are prettier.
In Google or steam or iosstore, it won’t work like that, there the entrance must be done correctly.
Another option is to make a cute toy in html5 on the envato market. Within a couple of months, we receive proposals to make an individual toy for which thread to the portal, we agree to set the price at 100k. We make a toy in three months. Profit.
Unity also knows how to export such toys, but there is less demand.
Well, the key word is "sympathetic" Without graphics or good style, nothing will come of it.
