为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“VIRTUAnimator is a VR-exclusive title. With VR being as new as it is, there are lots of things everyone is still figuring out about how to work in VR and how things like UI should work. Early Access allows the community to provide much-needed feedback on the current state of things, allowing me to polish the game up to it's necessary standards. It also let's me know what is needed, what features get used and why, as well as how to make it accessible to everyone.”

这款软件的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“VIRTUAnimator will remain in Early Access for roughly 6 months, depending on the changes and updates required.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The Early Access version is, for the most part, functionally complete. Just very rough. Some might even go so far as to say ugly. However, you can animate, save/load, render out image sequences, and make use of the Steam Workshop right now!

The Full Version will be the pretty version. All the features in the full version will have been added during the Early Access phase, and will be fully fleshed out and polished over the course. Such features will include mp4 export, keyframe blending/smoothing, and render effects control.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“VIRTUAnimator is, more-or-less, 'Functionally Complete'. That means most of the main features are in and working. You can load objects other's have created, animate them, save/load/share your animations, download items and scenes from the Steam Workshop, and more. The UI is not great, but it works.

Since entering Early Access, some major features have been added: DAE Export (export animations into a standard 3D format), Live Recording (record an object's motion in real time), and Pose Blending (smooth curved motion).”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，这款软件的价格会有所不同吗？

“The price will be raised after leaving Early Access.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Community feedback is necessary for improvement, so I'll be active in the Steam Forums/Community Hub to get all the feedback I can, in addition to hosting live development sessions, to get real-time feedback.

Specifically, I need to see just how people are using the app; what kind of things are being animated, uploaded, rendered, etc., and prioritize development around that.”
