Today is the seventh year anniversary of starting the company, as in the day the legal entity was registered in Poland, although Enclave Games had its domain bought and website launched in 2012 already when I quit my full-time front-end job in a corporation and decided to make web games instead.
Solid work done in February: from releasing a Badlucky t-shirt, joining WebDX group, publishing Gamedev.js Survey results on GitHub, to writing a bunch of news here and there.
With Gamedev.js Survey 2023 completed in December and the report published in January, I got asked multiple times about the raw results of this year's answers and those from the past editions as well, especially from the open questions, and decided to publish all that on GitHub.
Lots of things happened in January: we've summarized 2023 and made plans for 2024, published Gamedev.js Survey 2023 results, I've prepared the first four weekly issues of the Phaser World newsletter after revival, W3C Games group had a meetup about generative AI, the NSHex Counter app got two armies (Merchants Guild and Partisans) added, and I published ten different news posts on NeuroshimaHex.pl.
Two weeks ago we've added the Merchants Guild army to the NSHex Counter app, and now it's time to catch up and implement Partisans.
It's that time of the year again when Portal Games releases a new army pack for the Neuroshima Hex board game and we're updating the NSHex Counter app to include it - this time it's Merchants Guild.
The past year was difficult for us on many levels, but the last two months were a little bit optimistic. Let's look at the details of the twelve months that passed in Enclave Games, see exactly how 2023 went, and make some reasonable plans for 2024.
December is traditionally rather slow, but we've managed to conduct (a shortened) Gamedev.js Survey, even including a warm-up week, so that's a second pretty decent month in a row.
The third yearly edition of Gamedev.js Survey is open for a week now, and will close next week, on Friday December 22nd - if you haven't filled the form yet, please do so!
GitHub Universe was my opportunity to finally fly to a conference this year, and Ewa managed to package and ship js13kGames 2023 swag - it seems November was pretty decent in terms of the job done, which is nice.
