Welcome to the Capcom-Unity Blog, May 2020

CrashTestDummy

Hello! And welcome to the 2020 version of the Capcom-Unity Blog! As we announced a few months ago, we’ve made some changes to optimize your experience with the site moving forward.

Today, we’re running the Capcom-Unity Blog on a new platform; and to start, we’re focusing on three main aspects: speed, familiarity and ease of navigation. The speed aspect is mostly thanks to back-end optimizations that you’ll hopefully never have to worry about. ?

Now, let’s talk about the other two:

FAMILIAR LOOK AND
FEEL, ANYWHERE

The first thing you’ll notice is the front page experience is largely the same. We wanted to start off with a familiar look that you already know. The key difference this time is the mobile version, which has been better optimized for mobile browsers while still properly matching the experience on desktop.

On the front page, you’ll still see a reel of our latest
highlighted blog posts, and scrolling down will start the blog feed. We also have
a handy RSS button if you want to
set it up for your RSS readers!

EASIER NAVIGATION

Once you start drilling into each blog post, you’ll see a
couple of new buttons, specifically near the bottom. Here’s what they do:

  • Brand
    Tags    : depending on the blog, you’ll see Brand Tags that, when clicked, take
    you to a feed of blog posts only related to that brand.
  • topic-tags: these are tags for various topics.
    They’ll help you filter content by specific games, gaming platforms and even
    broader topics like “event” or “contest.”
    NOTE: we’re still optimizing and growing
    our tag library, so please be patient if you see any posts with missing tags.
  • Previous Post / Next
    Post    : another new addition to the new blog; these buttons will take
    you to blog posts that happened chronologically right before (or right after)
    the one you’re reading, matching what you’d see in the main blog reel (front
    page).

These changes were all designed and implemented to help you
get to the content that you’re most interested in, while giving you more options
to just browse the site if want to lose yourself in an afternoon of reading.

Our goal is to continue improving the Capcom-Unity blogging
experience, so we’ll be keeping a close eye on how things are working and where
can improve even further. In the meantime, we hope you have a faster and easier
time with the site, and stay tuned for more tweaks and updates in the future.

Huge thanks for our Web Team (Tom James!) and to you, for
your continued patience and support!

See you soon!
