เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“Pixydra is a software that started as a personal experiment: a custom-built 2D sprite graphics program tailored to my personal workflow in video-games development.
One thing led to another, and I ended up discovering that it could be quite useful for other people as well. But the program still lacks testing by users other than myself.
I would like to make this program truly useful for those who appreciate its workflow and unique features.”

ซอฟต์แวร์นี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“The goal is to have the full release ready before 2027.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“There are several things still pending, including:
-An improved interface system with dockable objects.
-More variety of exporters based on user needs.
-More commonly used tools (specific shapes, gradients, etc).
-A more versatile palette editor (currently, it's a bit rigid).
-Support for Lua scripting (internally, this functionality is only partially implemented and therefore disabled for now).
-Improved joystick support (currently, joystick support is pretty basic).
-Many unique features that I will reveal as development progresses.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“The current version is stable and fully functional (it's the one I use for my own games, and even for the program's graphics: cursors, icons, etc.).
I'm releasing it as early access simply because I haven't tested it enough with other people yet, even though I do use it myself daily... it's a program that fits my workflow perfectly, nothing more, nothing less.”

ซอฟต์แวร์นี้จะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“Probably yes, the price will most likely increase when the program leaves early access state. This is because I plan not only to work just on bug fixing but add new features as well.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“I would be very grateful for any comments and feedback.
I have several features to add that are already defined, but I need to see how my program is actually used in order to eliminate friction in the tasks for which it was created.
I will be monitoring the Steam forums, Discord, and other social media to answer questions while I continue developing this program to make it a truly useful tool for its intended purpose.”
