What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Simpleffects already offers a wide range of effects and tools, but we want to refine them with the help of the community. Early Access allows us to gather feedback on usability, interface improvements, and overall quality before the final release. We are fully committed to continuing development, listening to player suggestions, and shaping the future direction of the app together with users.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“Duration: About one year”

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

“During Early Access, we are focusing on expanding the number of effects, polishing existing tools, and improving workflow based on feedback.
The full version is planned to include:
Early Access launch version features 50 effects, and we aim to add 20 more during development for a total of 70
A Photo Mode that allows users to upload their own images to use with the effects
Additional presets and UI enhancements for smoother creative work
Community-requested features and improvements, as long as they fit the vision of the project

We expect to remain in Early Access for approximately 12 months, with regular updates delivered throughout the development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“50 effects to play and relax (each with options to customize their behavior)
Pomodoro timer with adjustable work and break durations
Task list
Task timer that can calculate daily and weekly time
Music player with music from all released SmallBigSquare games
Adjustable window size and window masks, allowing you to work with the app in a corner or any suitable place”

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

“Price is most likely to go up.”

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

“There is a community channel on Steam where users can post requests or suggestions about new tools, changes, or new effects.”
