Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“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.”

Hvor lang tid vil denne software være i tidlig adgang?

“At least a year!”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“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”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“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.”

Er prisen på softwaren anderledes under og efter tidlig adgang?

“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.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?

“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)”
