One Punch Man World: Website

Project N introduces the world to the outrageous One Punch Man universe.

Tag: Website

With the world now introduced to the concept of One Punch Man World, Crunchyroll's next priority was setting up an online hub for fans to learn more about the game. The site's main function would be to allow users to pre-register for the game ahead of its launch. The client also requested functionality that would allow them to update the site themselves, without the input of developers.

An early version of the site was built by Crunchyroll's Japanese partner APJapan, but it did not achieve the level of usability required by the client. Project N then took over the project building the site on a new CMS that could offer increased functionality.

The build was split into two sprints. The initial sprint pulled together the basics for the site – an area to pre-register, the CMS functionality, and basic game info like character bios. The second sprint was more complex, including a prompt to register for a closed beta test, and a hidden page for beta game files to be hosted.

Additionally, we built a news page that the client was able to add to themselves, a tracker for community rewards during the pre-registration, and a section for game videos to be posted. Throughout the process, we worked closely with APJ to ensure that all of our work was passed to them for approval, and subsequently received approval from the manga publisher, Shueisha.

As the launch of the site drew closer, we communicated directly with the hosting team at Crunchyroll, transferring all site files and details to them. We also provided documentation that would ensure the site would be set up in the same manner on its own hosting platform.

After an effective collaboration with the Crunchyroll team, the official One Punch Man World website went live on October 17, 2023.
