The past year was even more difficult than the previous one, with struggles along the way, but had some good moments, positive surprizes and achievements as well. Let's look at how 2024 went in detail, and what are the plans for Enclave Games in 2025.
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!
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.
The sole fact that September's Monthly Report goes out half a month later than it should tells you everything about the amount of work spent on the js13kGames competition this time.
Most of the month was taken over by js13kGames, as usual this time of year, especially since we're celebrating the thirteenth edition of the competition now.
July was full of js13kGames 2024 announcements: partners, experts, and prizes. I've also continued publishing news items about useful web tools, cool games, and various competitions on the Gamedev.js website.
During June the countdown to js13kGames 2024 started, new Gamedev.js Weekly newsletter website was published, we've opened our swag Shop, added Badlucky level in Flood Escape, and announced OP Guild and Arcadia collaboration with cash prizes.
To celebrate thirteenth edition of the js13kGames competition happening this year we've decided to create a dedicated Badlucky level in our Flood Escape game.
Remember Enclave's swag is out blog post? We got asked about that print a few times recently, and decided to share it with you all! After launching js13kGames Shop and Gamedev.js Shop on the same Spreadshirt platform we've decided to open Enclave Games Shop as well.
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.
