Why Early Access?

“We’re releasing in Early Access to gather player feedback and build community while continuing development, community members will be actively helping us improve the application.

This approach helps us create a more polished, user-focused product that benefits both developers and users.
”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that Pal Engine will remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 18 months, depending on the feedback we receive from our community and the complexity of the features we plan to implement. This timeframe allows us to refine existing functionalities, introduce new features, and ensure a polished experience for our users. We are committed to maintaining transparency throughout this process and will provide regular updates on our progress.

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

“The full version of Pal Engine aims to expand upon its current features by introducing:

- A scriptable behavior system (JSON-based).
- Mood-based facial expression system.
- Optional free movement on desktop during idle mode.
- Voice interaction support.
- Multi-language interface (currently English-only).
- Performance presets (Low, Balanced, Ultra).
- Improved VRM support & compatibility.
- Chat UI improvements: image uploads, copy/export, dark mode.

Please note that while these enhancements are planned, we cannot guarantee their exact implementation or timeline. Development is ongoing, and features may evolve based on user feedback and technical considerations.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Pal Engine is actively evolving with regular updates. The current version includes core features such as VRM avatar integration, AI chat functionality, and customizable UI. Upcoming updates aim to enhance performance, expand VRM support, and introduce new AI models. We are committed to refining the user experience based on community feedback.”

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

“Yes - we’ll start with a lower Early Access price and increase it gradually as we add meaningful content and polish. This is a fair way to reward early supporters and reflects the growing value of the application.”

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

“Feedback from users is key. We’ll gather input through Discord, Contact Forms, Social Media, and quick-feature polls. Every month we’ll review suggestions and share what’s next—making sure the community shapes Pal Engine together.”
