November was packed and busy to a point the Monthly Report is late again, but at least it's not the last day of the month like the October one, so there's progress!
2024
Enclave Games Monthly Report: October 2024
October started with the js13kGames 2024 winners announcement, and to no surprise the rest of the month still revolved around the competition: from follow-up blog posts, through emailing prizes, to collecing addresses for the shipment of the t-shirts.

Right after getting a new mobile template, the Gamedev.js Weekly newsletter got a brand new website, which is now a bit more than just a single landing page.
Enclave Games Monthly Report: May 2024
A lot has happened in May: from announcing Gamedev.js Jam 2024 winners and sending them all the prizes, through finally writing about my burnout, to looking into the bright future with the newly formed OP Guild which I'm going to lead.
Gamedev.js Weekly newsletter gets... a mobile template!
Yes, you can laugh and mock this, but after running for more than a decade the Gamedev.js Weekly newsletter finally got a mobile template, since the old one originally made in 2014 wasn't even responsive.
Into the future with OP Guild
The big news are out: I'm joining OP Games as Developer Advocate to lead the newly formed OP Guild.

NSHex Counter goes Open Source
Our web app for counting tiles when playing Neuroshima Hex board game that was originally released in 2019, NSHex Counter, is now open sourced on GitHub.
Celebrating Enclave Games' anniversary with the logo retrospect
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.
Enclave Games Monthly Report: February 2024
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.
Gamedev.js Survey's all questions and answers landed on GitHub
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.
Enclave Games Monthly Report: January 2024
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.
NSHex Counter updated with Partisans
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.

Enclave Games in 2023, and plans for 2024
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.
Enclave Games Monthly Report: December 2023
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.
