October was quite an active month: handling js13kGames, giving a talk at an online meetup, and writing lots of blog posts.
Games
Nothing, unfortunately. I was so happy I got back to coding the Hat Tricks game in September, but had to put it on hold in October. I need to resume coding in November though.
Writing
Wrote a few pieces:
- [js13kGames] Post Mortem Fest - the results (Oct 5)
- [js13kGames] js13kGames 2020 winners and top5 picks from the experts! (Oct 5)
- [End3r’s Corner] Familiar faces in the first Grant for the Web CFP announcements (Oct 9)
- [js13kGames] Top games from given criteria (Oct 14)
- [Coil] Summarizing Web Monetization category in js13kGames 2020 (Oct 29)
- [Enclave Games] Double the game jam fun: Web Monetization Game Off (Oct 31)
Design
Ewa did many small tasks like banners for blog posts of js13kGames and Enclave Games, or photos for TataDeveloper and NeuroshimaHex.pl, but also helped with the video processing for TPAC and judged js13kGames entries.
Events
Took part (because co-organized would be an overstatement) in the online js13kGames 2020 Awards ceremony, where we announced the winners and talked about the best entries with their authors and some of the experts. Hosted by Sascha Depold from eBay.
Gave a talk about Web Monetization in HTML5 Games during the W3C Games Community Group meetup that happened online at TPAC 2020.
Other
Lots of js13kGames, but the digital prizes are still yet to be emailed, and t-shirts printed and shipped.
Plans for the next month
Future of Micropayments conference (already happened on November 5th, blog post coming soon), finishing js13kGames, hopefully Hat Tricks development as well, plus it’s high time to start planning the Gamedev.js Survey and the eBook - that’s a lot.
