Por que acesso antecipado?

"While this is the second iteration of the Virtual Touch Screen, it is still very much an experimental product. The first version had very limited reach due to exotic hardware requirements. This newer version leverages AI to make the Virtual Touch Screen possible on ordinary hardware. Ensuring that the product works well for as many users as possible is expected to be an large concern during early access. I want the opportunity to work through these issues before declaring Virtual Touch Screen 2 a finished product. Additionally, I cannot fully predict exactly how the tool will be used in the wild, and I would like the opportunity to adapt the product based on user feedback before declaring it complete."

Por quanto tempo aproximadamente este software estará em acesso antecipado?

"If I had to guess how long it would take to finish early access, I would say a year or less. As early access is about the unknowns rather than the knowns. I want to get the product more or less to its final form before declaring it to be complete."

Como a versão completa será diferente da versão de acesso antecipado?

"The primary goal for early access is to ensure that the features that already exist work well for most users. The customization available for the tool is quite extensive, so I expect there will be lots of improvements and additions in this area. The final version will likely contain more customizability, a more polished UI, and perhaps support for scripting."

Qual é o estado atual da versão de acesso antecipado?

"I believe it is already a pretty good product. It remains to be seen how well it will work on in all of the various environments it could be used in. With AI, some quirkiness is to be expected always. A very large amount of the work I have put into this project so far has been to better handle the imperfect data provided by AI. To get the best results, users may need to improve their lighting or make adjustments to their background."

O preço do software será alterado após o fim do acesso antecipado?

"I believe that the success of Virtual Touch Screen 2 is heavily reliant on early adopters showing others the product. To help facilitate this, I have decided to start with a price that I believe is quite low, with the intent to raise the price in the future if possible."

Como vocês planejam envolver a comunidade durante o processo de desenvolvimento?

"I would prefer to use the Steam community forums for bug reports, feature suggestions, and product support. I'll also try to make myself available on the Simplode discord server. Simplode LLC is still a one man company and will have to remain so unless/until a lot more money comes in."
