[Gamedev.js Jam 2024](https://gamedevjs.com/jam/2024/) preparations and announcements, [GitHub Star status renewed](https://end3r.com/blog/github-star-renewed-4th/) yet again, old [Enclave Games logos](https://enclavegames.com/blog/anniversary-logo/) revisited, [NSHex Counter going open source](https://enclavegames.com/blog/nshex-counter-open-source/), publishing a lot on [gamedevjs.com](https://gamedevjs.com/), reviewing a [printed tweet](https://end3r.com/blog/framed-posts-stickermule/), and more - I’m happy with how writing goes along and the recently overwhelming TODO list is getting shorter each week.

### Games

It’s not a game, but… I’ve [open sourced NSHex Counter](https://enclavegames.com/blog/nshex-counter-open-source/), so that’s something!

### Writing

![Gamedev.js News](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*LTlEtXXrj5uTZBU5.png)

I wanted to write more on [gamedevjs.com](https://gamedevjs.com/) - to create more content, promote web gamedev folks, their tools and games in the community. I finally did that in March, with 12 (!) posts - those were:

- [March 1st] [Athena Crisis](https://gamedevjs.com/games/athena-crisis/)
- [March 5th] [Rune Open-Source Grants](https://gamedevjs.com/crowdfunding/rune-open-source-grants/)
- [March 7th] [Poki’s Web booth at GDC 2024](https://gamedevjs.com/events/pokis-web-booth-at-gdc-2024/)
- [March 9th] [Blitz:Build](https://gamedevjs.com/tools/blitzbuild/)
- [March 11th] [React Paris discount code](https://gamedevjs.com/events/react-paris-discount-code/)
- [March 13th] [Gamedev.js Jam 2024 starts next month!](https://gamedevjs.com/competitions/gamedev-js-jam-2024-starts-next-month/)
- [March 18th] [Vampire Survivors updated with Phaser Dude](https://gamedevjs.com/games/vampire-survivors-updated-with-phaser-dude/)
- [March 20th] [Excalibur SpriteFusion plugin](https://gamedevjs.com/tools/excalibur-spritefusion-plugin/)
- [March 22nd] [Pixel Washer](https://gamedevjs.com/games/pixel-washer/)
- [March 25th] [Spark on-chain NPCs](https://gamedevjs.com/tools/spark-on-chain-npcs/)
- [March 27th] [CosmoPirates](https://gamedevjs.com/games/cosmopirates/)
- [March 29th] [Mana Potion](https://gamedevjs.com/tools/mana-potion/)

### Design

![Enclave Games logos](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*yXqLi9ySmkyK7M0M.jpg)

I wrote a blog post [Celebrating Enclave Games’ anniversary with the logo retrospect](https://enclavegames.com/blog/anniversary-logo/) going through some of the old designs sitting quietly on our old hard drive for years and digging them up now to tell you the story of how Bethesda said we needed to change our very first logo.

### Events

Lots and lots of [Gamedev.js Jam 2024](https://gamedevjs.com/jam/2024/) announcements [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/GamedevJS): new prizes, partners, challenges, and experts. Still negotiating with and trying to get more sponsors for the jam, which is even more difficult than last year.

Some [W3C WebDX](https://end3r.com/blog/webdx-gamedevjs-survey/) internal calls, but no [W3C Games](https://end3r.com/blog/tag/w-3-c-games) ones, unfortunately - hopefully those will resume shortly.

### Other

My [GitHub Star status was extended for the fourth time](https://end3r.com/blog/github-star-renewed-4th/), yay!

![GitHub Star](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*9qcb_ZYSD9VzUOHz.jpg)

Five (!) [Phaser World](https://end3r.com/blog/phaser-world/) newsletter issues sent in March (_#169-#173_), since the 1st and 29th were Fridays. Same for the [Gamedev.js Weekly](https://gamedevjsweekly.com/) issues (_#530-#534_), as those are sent on Friday as well.

![Neuroshima Hex prizes](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*HiLElJZDo32YlFe8.jpg)

Twelve (!) news posts on [NeuroshimaHex.pl](https://neuroshimahex.pl/), including taking pictures of all the prizes you can win in the [tournaments](https://neuroshimahex.pl/mistrzostwa-polski-2024/) of the **Polish Championship** in 2024 starting soon. I also joined the **Online League** , because obviously I have too much time on my hands.

![TataDeveloper Furby](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*bhESLHOTSKlLneAf.jpg)

Four (!) posts on my parenting blog, [TataDeveloper](https://tatadeveloper.end3r.com/), since we had four Mondays in March, so all went according to plan.

![Framed post from StickerMule](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*npQrPm80cGqJBMTx.jpg)

I published [Hang your tweets on a wall with framed posts from StickerMule](https://end3r.com/blog/framed-posts-stickermule/) where I review a ridiculous product - printed tweet that StickerMule will frame for you.

Also lots of maintenance of the office equipment, both hardware and software.

I also submitted a few forms for various **grants** , although all the replies were eventually negative. I try to don’t bother much, I’ve commited to my first client work in years by managing [Phaser World](https://end3r.com/blog/phaser-world/) newsletter issues since the beginning of January, and it seems I’ll be diving into something bigger in the near future too.

### Plans for the next month

Starting, managing, and wrapping up [Gamedev.js Jam 2024](https://gamedevjs.com/jam/2024/). Also, completing more unfinished tasks from the TODO list and closing stuff in preparation for some potential changes ahead.
