Indie Game Development Studio building mobile HTML5 games.
June is the month when I usually switch from sending out the last Gamedev.js Jam prizes and begin the js13kGames preparations - this one is no different, with the Countdown to js13kGames 2026 published exactly on June 13th.
Wrapping the voting, announcing the winners, then challenge results, publishing all the feedback, revealing the t-shirt design, and then sending all the prizes - the focus last month was solely on Gamedev.js Jam 2026.
Gamedev.js Jam 2026 started April 13th, with the submission deadline on April 26th, and the voting currently still ongoing, so understandably it was the main focus throughout the whole past month.
This year we have a few themes so far already: Love, Machines, and now it's time for Unicorns and Rainbows. The National Unicorn Day is April 9th, but we've been busy kicking off Gamedev.js Jam 2026 last week, and so the new Unicorn level for Flood Escape arrives this week instead.
Last month everything revolved around Gamedev.js Jam 2026, the preparations to the seventh yearly edition are in full swing. Lots of prizes, partners, experts, and challenges were announced already, with more coming soon as the jam starts April 13th already.
After looking back at the first versions of the Enclave Games logo two years ago, this time I'd like to bring the two minifigures I bought that are referencing the original artwork.
Finally a truly positive month: we've shipped the js13kGames 2025 t-shirts, released a Valentine's level in Flood Escape, and started the countdown to Gamedev.js Jam 2026.
January went really fast, but we've managed to release the Current state of Web Game Development in 2025 report before the end of the month and attend GitHub Universe 2025 Recap in Warsaw.
Last year was quite similar to the previous one as unfortunately no new games were released, but at least it was quite similar to the previous one as all the usual events and activities were organized more or less on time.
We haven't released any new games for some time now, and since today is Valentine's Day, we've decided to at least create a new level for Flood Escape.
Last month of the year hosted another edition of the Gamedev.js Survey, and I also attended a local conference here in Warsaw.
The original plan assumed joining the Game Off jam and building a game the whole month of November, which ended up being a few hours of vibe coding during one day of ETHGlobal hackathon in Buenos Aires happening during the Devconnect 2025 conference, but that's still better than nothing.
At the beginning of every October the js13kGames competition winners are announced, and I also found the time to fly to San Francisco for the GitHub Universe conference third year in a row.
September looked similar to August in terms of work - you guessed it, still js13kGames 2025.
Every August is almost entirely about the js13kGames competition, and this year's one is no different - the competition started, theme was announced, submit form opened after a few days, we even introduced the Online category replacing the Server one which was discontinued a few years ago, and you can also win Quest 3S in the WebXR category.
As expected, July revolved around the preparations to the upcoming js13kGames 2025 competition - talking with potential partners, acquiring experts, and prizes.
We've published the js13kGames 2024 t-shirts gallery last month, and started the countdown to js13kGames 2025. Other than that June was mostly about wrapping things up to be able to freely go on much needed vacations at the beginning of July.
Announcing Gamedev.js Jam 2025 overall winners and the best entries in the optional challenges, sending all the digital prizes, releasing the Balance t-shirt design in the online shop, and vibe coding a js13kGames shader - all that happened in May.
I vibe coded a shader in an hour and submitted it to the V Shaders challenge which offers $12k prize pool - you can do it too as the deadline is tomorrow, May 22nd.
This will be a short Monthly Report as it's still all about the ongoing Gamedev.js Jam 2025.
