Why Early Access?

“Video 2 Live Wallpaper is fully functional.

You can set videos as live wallpapers on Windows, as per the name of the app.

So, why Early Access?

The decision to launch Video 2 Live Wallpaper in Early Access is driven by a commitment to community involvement and continuous improvement. Although the app is fully functional, with a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface for setting live wallpapers from video files, we believe that Early Access will allow us to achieve the following objectives:

1. User Feedback: Gathering feedback from a diverse user base will help identify enhancements and additional features that users find valuable, ensuring the app evolves in line with user needs.

2. Performance Optimization: While the app is stable, real-world use across various hardware configurations will provide insights into performance improvements and optimizations.

3. Feature Expansion: Engaging with the community will inspire innovative features and customization options, making the app more versatile and comparable to leading products like Wallpaper Engine.

4. Community Building: Early Access will foster a community of users who can share their creative uses of the app, contributing to a vibrant and supportive ecosystem.

Launching in Early Access reflects our dedication to delivering a polished and user-centric product, with ongoing enhancements driven by direct user engagement and feedback.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“6-12 months. This timeframe will allow for thorough user feedback integration, performance optimization, and feature expansion to ensure a polished final release.”

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

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current app is fully functional as its name intends: you can set videos as live desktop wallpapers, and this should work without issues.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We don't plan to change the price.”

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

“Feedback Collection: Solicit feedback via Steam forums and social media. Community suggestions will be crucial in prioritizing new features and improvements.
