Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Flips is in Early Access because it is still under active development. The goal is to build the tool together with the community, refining the flipbook animation workflow, improving usability, and adding features based on real feedback from artists and animators.'

Hoelang blijft deze software ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'Flips is expected to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. This timeframe allows for iterative development, usability refinements, performance improvements, and feature adjustments based on community feedback.

The exact duration may change depending on feedback and development progress. A full release will happen once Flips reaches a stable, polished, and reliable state that meets its core design goals.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The full version of Flips is planned to be a more polished and complete animation tool. We plan to expand the drawing and animation feature set, improve performance and stability, refine the layer and frame workflow, and add more export and usability options.

During Early Access, Flips focuses on its core flipbook animation experience. The full release aims to deliver a smoother, more refined workflow, better customization, and overall improvements based on community feedback, while keeping the tool lightweight and focused on frame by frame animation.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The Early Access version of Flips is fully usable and focused on its core flipbook animation workflow. Users can create 2D frame by frame animations, draw and manage frames, use onion skin, work with static and animated layers, and export animations.

The tool is actively being developed, with ongoing improvements to performance, usability, and stability. While some features and refinements are still planned, the current version is stable enough for sketches, studies, storyboards, and quick animations.'

Zal deze software anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'We plan to gradually increase the price as Flips evolves and new features and improvements are added. Early Access allows users to support development early and access the tool at a lower price compared to the planned full release.

The final pricing will depend on the scope and maturity of the features at the time of release.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'We plan to actively involve the community throughout Early Access by listening closely to user feedback and observing how Flips is used in real workflows. Community suggestions will help guide usability improvements, feature priorities, and overall refinement of the flipbook animation experience.

Feedback will be gathered through community discussions, updates, and direct interaction with users, helping ensure that Flips evolves into a tool that stays focused, intuitive, and aligned with the needs of artists and animators.'
