Why Early Access?

“Craftmas is about sharing. We originally created it to share our love for VR with friends and family in a way that brought everyone together. Almost one year later, Freeform Labs and Mandt VR began a collaboration to bring Craftmas to the world. Through Early Access, we’d like to share the joy we’ve experienced from Craftmas with you, the enthusiastic VR early-adopters. By putting Craftmas out into the wild, we can gather the valuable feedback needed to make it a VR Christmas classic for everyone.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We’ll be expanding the experience each upcoming holiday season. We’re aiming to have a solid, easy-to-learn, fun-to-use application completed as early as possible, with potential graduation from Early Access in Winter of 2017 or 2018, based on the wants and needs of the community.”
