Por que acesso antecipado?

"While I have a clear vision for the core product and it is already in a very good state, I want to give the community the opportunity to steer the development in the direction they want.

Another advantage is that users can access the application immediately instead of waiting until version 1.0."

Por quanto tempo aproximadamente este software estará em acesso antecipado?

"I think 6 months is a good range. So we can expect version 1.0 to be released in August 2025."

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

"I have at least the following milestones planned (for version 1.0) right now:
- integrated gradient-library and curve-based gradient editor
- motion-curve editor for fine-tuning key-frame based animation
- optional integration of some video-encoding package, maybe ffmpeg
- support for true-color-textures for use inside of fratals (e.g. use your favourite photos)
- dof-blur-shapes, as known from JWildfire
- mutations, maybe as separate module
- support for more variations (currently, about 400 are are supported)
- more options to modify background color
- Linux version (via Steam)
- optimizations for Steam Deck"

Qual é o estado atual da versão de acesso antecipado?

"Currently, the application is fully operational and you can create endless beautiful things with it. Key features:
- GPU rendering on all supported devices, with significantly improved rendering quality (vibrant colors, incredible level of fractal detail)
- powerful, lean and fast flame editor that offers a pleasant user experience
- supports the same file format as JWildfire. You can therefore exchange flames between both applications
- support for affine and post-affine transformations as well as pre-variations, regular variations, post-variations and pre-post-variations
- numerous sophisticated random flame and random gradient generators
- key frame-based animation
- rendering in upto 8k (on GPU devices with enough memory)"

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

"The price in Early Access will be slightly reduced, about 25%"
