Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« The very first reason we do Early Access is because we want to show you this innovative tracking S/W in Steam as soon as possible. However, we know that there are lots of points that AvaKit has to be updated and we executed several tests for few number of VTubers that we had consistently communicated with. After couple of tests, the performance quality was getting better and better, and we realized that we are proud enough to show AvaKit now. But, it is also true that there are still several points to be improved and it is necessary to apply feedback from more users to develop better AvaKit. »

Combien de temps environ ce logiciel sera-t-il en Accès anticipé ?

« It is expected to take about 2 months, but it can be flexibly changed depending on your feedback and opinion we received during the Early Access because nobody can ensure how long it will take to develop additional 'must-have' features before the official release. However, what we will not change is our mindset that we will always try hard to develop the best application that anyone can use to be a VTuber with ease. »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« It is thought that we have already developed the 'most-basically-essential' features for real-time motion capture through couple of alpha tests and the closed beta test for several months. However, as there are much more Steam users and we, AvaKit dev, think that we can realize more various features and errors that we haven't thought or heard of until now. The features that are expected to be developed during the Early Access are as follows.

• Interaction plugin between VTuber and viewers by linking with Twitch and YouTube (chat, donation, super chat information import)

• Sticker and illustration auto-generation

• Closet mode(This will help you change your costumes easily without shape key registration)

• More various rendering filter(shader) types

• Collab with AvaKit users

• Inner camera for avatar selfie like VRChat

• More attractive and intuitive design

• ...and many more through our exclusive plugins!

We know that some of these objectives can be achieved but some are not. And we also know that these objectives are not enough - this must not be the perfect 'must-have' feature list. And we believe that we can diversify our objective during the Early Access with your sincere feedback since the list above is also written by the previous testers. We always look forward to your contact. :) »

Quel est l'état actuel de la version en accès anticipé ?

Le logiciel sera-t-il tarifé différemment pendant et après l'Accès anticipé ?

« The price of AvaKit will not be changed during the Early Access. and most of features that are included in the beta version can be used freely even after the Early Access. (This version will be named as 'AvaKit(free)'.)

However, we also plan to offer 'AvaKit PRO' as a monthly-subscription format and PRO version will include more detailed settings and support more various plugins for livestreaming. Detailed pricing is not defined yet and we will notice the precise difference between free and PRO version including features, supporting plugins, and so on right after we confirm the detail. Most of all, we will always listen to and reflect your feedback, and update fascinating, new features to make sure your subscription is worth to be paid. »
