W3C Games Community Group meeting at TPAC 2020
Last week, on Tuesday October 20th, we had a W3C Games Community Group meeting at TPAC 2020 that was held online, and I was talking about Web Monetization in HTML5 games.
Familiar faces in the first Grant for the Web CFP announcements
I was so happy to see the projects I was rooting for in the first Grant for the Web open Call for Proposals were accepted and announced.
Shifting focus
The last couple of months were tough, to say the least. They forced some changes in the plan I had for gamedev-related projects in 2020. The good thing is, given the diversification of our activities around Enclave Games, it shouldn't be that bad, although still an unpleasant shift in focus.

Even though the pandemic is in full swing, there are still some options for online meetups or conferences. And since I gave one talk recently, it would be cool to keep the tradition of posting trip reports afterwards, even though I haven't travelled anywhere.
Grant for the Web awardees list
After going through the Grant for the Web blog posts a few times looking for details of a few grantees I realized I'm missing a list of all the creators awarded with a grant in one place, and since I couldn't find anything, I decided... to do one myself.
Going for the Grant
This is big news: Enclave Games was awarded with the Grant for the Web, and we'll be focusing on Web Monetization in at least the next half a year. Read on if you're curious how it all happened.

It took me a few good years to actually do it, but it's high time to update the website and change the blogging platform. This time though I've decided to make an extra effort and convert all the blog posts, so I won't start from scratch.
Technical reviewing Polish translation of the Game Programming Patterns book
I still don't know how exacly I ended up tech reviewing the book with C++ code in it, but this somehow happened, and I'm happy I was able to add another new 'first-time' item to my technical experience.
Enclave Games Monthly Report: May 2020
May was a tough month, with some work done, although I hoped more will be accomplished by the end of it. Still, things moved forward a bit further, so overall it wasn't that bad.
Tech Speakers Briefing about Web Monetization
Even though I haven't planned any virtual talks for online events, I did it anyway. I've got the opportunity to briefly explain Web Monetization to my fellow Tech Speakers, which I happily taken.
