What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This product is being developed for a specific community and we want to continue developing it based on community feedback.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“1 - 2 years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The future version will be partly designed and driven by community feedback. What we are releasing as the first iteration is mostly what we originally intended for the application, aside from some future performance scanning enhancements we want to implement, although we want to leave the concept open for the community to drive as well.

Current road map for enhancements:
- Network usage integration in performance scanner

- Ability to correlate specific games that launch via Steam to your playlists

- Automated application suspending feature which automatically suspends applications based on thresholds without the need to bind a specific playlist when running an application through Steam”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Provides all base functionality as described in the applications Steam product description.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback given on the Steam product community channel will be monitored, as well as on the community Discord and email. We will add feedback we consider ideal to our product to the product backlog which will eventually be implemented quarterly.”
