Miksi Early Access?

Celas Studio is a big, ambitious tool — a single place to draw, rig, and animate — and the best way to build something like that is together with the people who actually use it. Early Access lets us put Celas Studio into artists' hands now, learn how you really work, and let your feedback shape what we build next. Animation software lives or dies by the small details of its workflow, and there's no better way to find those details than watching real projects being made in it.

Miten kauan Early Access -vaihe suunnilleen kestää?

We expect Celas Studio to be in Early Access for roughly 5 to 6 months, with the aim of reaching the full release around the start of the new year. That's an honest estimate rather than a hard promise — if the software needs a little more time to reach the quality we're aiming for, we'll take it. We'd rather leave Early Access with a tool we're truly proud of than rush to hit a date.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The full version aims to be a more complete and polished animation studio. During Early Access we plan to expand the toolset (for example a dedicated X-Sheet, a text and typography tool, and richer onion-skinning), deepen the existing drawing, rigging, and animation systems, and keep improving performance and stability across the board. We also plan to refine the interface and overall workflow based on what we learn from real users. These are our current plans and directions rather than firm promises — priorities may shift as we hear from the community.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Celas Studio is already a usable, feature-rich animation app, not an early prototype. You can draw with a full vector toolset, paint with a real brush engine, rig artwork with smart Action Bones and mesh deformation, and animate on a keyframe timeline with frame-by-frame drawing, an animated camera, wind physics, and bone dynamics. It supports nested layers with non-destructive effects, symbols, and its own project format, and the interface is available in multiple languages. As an Early Access build it is still evolving: you may run into occasional rough edges or bugs, and some features are still being expanded.

Hinnoitellaanko sovellus toisin Early Accessin aikana ja sen jälkeen?

As Celas Studio grows and we add major new features, we plan to raise the price gradually. Buying during Early Access is meant to be the best-value way to get on board early and support development.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Community feedback sits at the heart of how we build Celas Studio. We plan to listen closely through the Steam forums and our community channels, share what we're working on, and let real needs and pain points guide the roadmap. Feature requests, bug reports, and examples of what you're making all directly influence what we build and fix next. Celas Studio is a tool for artists, so the artists using it should have a real say in where it goes.
