Varför Early Access?

“While Puppetstring is already fully functional, we are still looking for feedback from users, especially actual streamers/video makers regarding real-world use cases. For example, is the provided adjustment settings for the face tracker enough to produce satisfactory results? Are the available keyboard control commands enough to accommodate all your VTuber model toggles? Is there any stability problems, especially during long streaming/recording period?

Every VTuber has their own preferred software and hardware setup, in addition to different focus regarding their content (i.e. art, gaming or programming). We are looking to gain feedback from as much diverse scenarios as possible.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här programmet att vara i Early Access?

“Around one year.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“We're planning to implement more tracking options in addition to what is currently available in Puppetstring:

• Gamepad tracking
  
• BLE heart rate sensor tracking
  
• Connection to smartphone-based face tracking apps
  
• MFCC-based mouth tracking using microphone input

”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Currently, Puppetstring has already implemented a fully functional model renderer alongside these tracking options:

• Webcam face tracking
  
• Microphone volume tracking
  
• Display color tracking
  
• Mouse pointer tracking
  
• Keyboard control

”

Kommer det här programmet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“No. It's free.”
