After missing out on Mozilla's All Hands in Hawaii and San Francisco (although I was at GDC 2017 a few months earlier), I was invited to Austin in Texas (planned to be Cancun in Mexico, but was moved because of the earthquakes), and was super excited to meet the 'new' Emerging Technologies team.
Let's quickly summarize two conferences that happened in Warsaw recently: Code Europe on December 7th and GDG DevFest on December 9th. Both events were confirmed very late and both happened just before I flew to Austin for Mozilla's All Hands.
This monthly report is delayed three weeks - it shows how busy my schedule was. There still was a lot of work with the js13kGames competition, but at least it's finally getting to an end. Also, the last Gamedev.js Warsaw meetup this year happened.
Even though the js13kGames competition ended, there's still plenty of work to be done. I did manage to do some other things in the meantime though.
After I gave a talk about A-Frame at the Warsaw IT Days in April this year I was asked to give a similar talk, but for the students of the Academy of Fine Arts.
The last regular meetup happened in June, and then during vacations we had a special js13kGames Launch Party event. After the break we've returned with Gamedev.js Warsaw meetups in October.
I rarely do client work, but if a friend is recommending someone, I can at least talk about the details. It worked a year ago with Scooby-Do, and also this time with KFC.
More than a week ago I was speaking at the Game Industry Conference that was held during the Poznań Game Arena on October 5-8th 2017 in Poznań, Poland.
More js13kGames. No, seriously. The tension was slowly growing in May, preparations were intense in June, then July was crazy busy, August at least had a few articles published, and in September the compo hit the roof with the number of submitted entries.
Meet.js, originally started by Damian Wielgosik, are local JavaScript meetups organized by the community and happening across the country. Meet.js Summit is a community-driven, more or less yearly gathering in the form of the full-blown conference.
