February was all about working on the remaining **Grant for the Web** program [grant projects](https://enclavegames.com/blog/awarded-grant-for-the-web/) - we’ve already got the deadline extended, so we have to finish our work as soon as possible.

Worked on the **Rack Match** game, and the **NSHex Roulette** - a [digital addon](https://nshex.enclavegames.com/) for the physical board game [Neuroshima Hex](https://neuroshimahex.pl/). It should be finished and published in the next few days.

Not much, if you don’t count the blog posts.

[Ewa](https://mypoint.pl/) worked with the **UX designer** on the new [js13kGames](https://js13kgames.com/) website, participated in a few bi-weekly calls, and is overall pushing the work forward: particularly refining the design system, since the mockups are already there.

She also designed the [Gamedev.js Survey landing page](https://gamedevjs.com/survey/) (based on a simple Bootstrap template), did some work around the game we plan on releasing right after **NSHex Roulette** , and did a whole bunch of photos for my [TataDeveloper](https://tatadeveloper.end3r.com/) blog, which should now have a steady stream of visuals to come along the blog post drafts.

There was another [W3C Games Community Group bi-monthly meetup](https://end3r.com/blog/w3c-games-cg-feb-2021/) I was happy to participate in, where runtimes and webviews were discussed.

Every Wednesday I also helped run the weekly sessions of the [Kernel Gaming Guild](https://end3r.com/blog/kernel-gaming-guild/) led by [Paul Gadi](https://twitter.com/polats). Throughout February we had [Björn Ritzl](https://twitter.com/bjornritzl) from **Defold** discussing freedom and open source, an Expo week showcasing some of the demos, and [Tom Greenaway](https://twitter.com/tcmg) from **Google** talking about game discoverability.

The [js13kGames](https://js13kgames.com/) t-shirts, pens, and stickers were printed and are about to be shipped to all who are waiting for them - as soon as I have the confirmation I’ll publish a blog post about it and email everybody interested.

We’ve been able to [release](https://enclavegames.com/blog/gamedevjs-survey-2021/) the [Gamedev.js Survey](https://gamedevjs.com/survey/) - it will collect your answers between February 18th and March 18th, with the results published a week later. Make sure to let your gamedev friends know about it, so we can get solid data to analyze!

Release **NSHex Roulette** , the other two games we are working on, and publish the (mini) eBook about **Web Monetization** - all part of the **Grant for the Web** grant. Yup, March is going to be a busy month!

The last [Kernel Gaming Guild](https://end3r.com/blog/kernel-gaming-guild/) session will be [held](https://kernel.community/track-gaming/) this week with [Desigan Chinniah](https://twitter.com/cyberdees) talking about [Coil](https://coil.com/?ref=end3r) and **Grant for the Web**.
