This week, PlayCanvas travelled far and wide to attend the world’s biggest games and graphics conferences.

GDC Europe, gamescom and SIGGRAPH

Will (PlayCanvas CEO) headed off to GDC Europe and gamescom this week while Dave (PlayCanvas CTO) travelled to Vancouver for SIGGRAPH. PlayCanvas made a real splash at both and in the next few days, we’ll be writing a blog entry dedicated to each trip.

Features and Fixes:

• We improved the rendering of the PlayCanvas website at mobile resolutions. Explore the site on your smartphone to see how great the site looks now.
• Kevin, our Design Guru, has refreshed the design on various ‘logged in’ pages, making navigation clearer and simpler.
