Our Grant for the Web project was announced in the middle of July 2020 - it had a somewhat generic name Web Monetized HTML5 Game Development since it was actually a few (six to be exact) smaller projects revolving around monetizing web games: three Enclave Games creations, js13kGames competition, an eBook, and a Gamedev.js Survey.
November was a strange month - busy, but with many small tasks that are hard to summarize in the report, so it looks weirdly empty. Let me assure you we weren't having any vacations or anything though.
October was quite an active month: handling js13kGames, giving a talk at an online meetup, and writing lots of blog posts.
Even though this year's js13kGames competition is over, there are still some interesting opportunities ahead if you'd like to participate in a game jam (or two).
September was (surprise, surprise) full into js13kGames, with me trying to catch up on everything else in the meantime, but with not much luck.
The NSHex Counter app launched last year, which serves Neuroshima Hex fans with the ability to keep track of the tiles used by opponents, got its first update with the newest army - Troglodytes.
August is the month when js13kGames starts, so you can be sure I was fully into preparations and then other tasks around it when it launched.
You probably already noticed, but js13kGames 2020 started August 13th - join fellow game developers trying to build HTML5 games within the 13 kilobyte zip size limit. Deadline: September 13th.
July was the month when our participation in the Grant for the Web program was announced, which was really big news for us. Preparations to js13kGames 2020 took most of the month's time - no surprise here.
We're excited to announce that we were awarded a grant from the Grant for the Web program to focus on exploring Web Monetization within indie game development!
June was the culmination of a few months worth of preparations - both end3r.com and enclavegames.com websites along with their blogs were refreshed, and the big announcement is coming on Monday.
This blog post is a summary of a few years worth of Enclave Games related blog posts published on my private blog, End3r's Corner. I didn't want to move them, as it would be too much work, and copying to have the same articles on both blogs would make no sense as well. So, I ended up with a post containing a bunch of links to the other blog.
As you can see, I decided to get back to the idea of writing on two separate blogs - my own private one at end3r.com/blog, and the company one at enclavegames.com/blog (the one you are reading right now).
