What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Since this project has only been tested on a limited range of hardware, its performance cannot be guaranteed across all devices. While it currently performs well in some games, there may be differences in performance across all games. You need to be tolerant of bugs and potential inaccuracies in recognition. Early Access allows us to gather more player suggestions and feedback, enabling us to improve and optimize the software more effectively. This will ensure a more stable and high-quality experience when we officially launch.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The software is expected to remain in Early Access for approximately six months or longer. It will transition to an official release once Early Access players confirm that the software delivers a highly satisfactory experience.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“"The full version is planned to feature smoother overall performance and aims to include fully supported hand gesture recognition. I'm working towards adding the ability to simulate game controller outputs on PC. My goal is for the full version to support more games and provide more accurate movement capture."”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“1. Users can interact with the software via voice and dialogue, allowing it to remember their actions and customize the corresponding keyboard and mouse operations.
2. Users can customize voice commands to trigger keyboard and mouse operations.
3. Users can freely set logical connections and combine their predefined voice or action links.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The software price will gradually increase as new features are added and performance improves over time.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I highly appreciate it if you can join the Discord channel to provide feedback on the software. While reported bugs and suggestions will be addressed promptly, please understand that I am working alone, so some fixes may take a bit of time. Additionally, the community can share their builds for different [url][/url]games, fostering a collaborative environment for all users.”
