As expected, September was full of work on the js13kGames competition. I was able to travel a little bit in the meantime, but it wasn't much - I visited Lublin and Berlin.
I had the pleasure to go once again to Reject.js conference after two years when I talked about Firefox OS and HTML5 games, but this time in a totally different role - as someone taking care of the WebVR and Games setup in the Mozilla lounge. My stay was expanded to JSConf.eu conference too.
This is a quick note on a small change I made to make my life a little bit easier. I've moved from Octopress on Enclave Games to my personal WordPress here as I write those two myself anyway.
Most of the month was taken over by js13kGames, obviously – sending more emails, accepting the entries and overall competition management. I also had the chance to run a gamedev workshop on another continent.
My first ever trip to South America lasted a week and ended a few days ago - thanks to Mozilla I was visiting Porto Alegre for BrazilJS, the biggest JavaScript conference in the world. Theme for this year was the ninetees (with Power Rangers and Back to the Future) as JavaScript just turned 20 years old, and all the breaks were filled with metal music.
The next, fourth edition of the js13kGames competition just started - you have a whole month to create an HTML5 game in only 13 kilobytes.
Not much gamedev related work happened in June as I spent the first week of the month on vacations (first time in 3 years!) and the last one attending the Mozilla work week in Canada.
I had the chance to go for my first work week with Mozilla - I was invited by the Developer Relations team (Technical Evangelism in particular) and spent a week from June 22nd till 27th in Whistler, Canada. It was a huge event with all the Mozilla employees and a bunch of lucky volunteers.
This time the main focus was put on creating the gamedev materials, so there was little to none work done on the games themselves.
There was a Front-Trends conference three weeks ago which I attended - it was happening in Warsaw where I live and I was at all the previous editions, so I couldn't miss it also this time.
