Varför Early Access?

“Rumpus intends to get as close to "Made of 100% Organic User Generated Content"
as possible without disappearing, so I need your help exploring its possibility
space and seasoning it into a highly potent concentrate.”

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

“At least a year!”

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

“Some of the major features in development:
* Multiplayer
* Shareable object libraries
* A much, much friendlier VR-native language (no typing)
* In-world audio synth-graph building
* In-world shader and geometry editing
* Built-in materials, transparency, refraction & shadows
* Customizable render pipeline
* Continuously moving as much of the engine out of the executable and
into "live space" as possible”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“A fully functional livecoding environment with an entity system, rendering, physics,
realtime sound synthesis with positional audio, animation, teleportation, knobs,
code editors, an object palette, a scene switching system, timers, and more.
Each of these is a very rough draft and will be evolving significantly.”

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

“Probably!
Rumpus is open source, so you can build a copy yourself (though it's a pain in the butt).
The Steam Edition is meant to provide a convenient stable release
(with all of Steam's nice features) and as a way to support Rumpus's core development.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“Everything you make and share will help guide the direction of Rumpus.

While the real multiplayer is in development, you can share your
scenes and objects by grabbing them from your Documents/Rumpus/ folder.
(Scenes are just folders, and objects are just .hs files)”
