Why Early Access?

“Getting community feedback is very important to us. Using the Early Access period will allow LyraVR to improve as a product by giving the development team a better idea of what users want and need. We can't wait to see what you create with LyraVR, and also how you use LyraVR in ways that we didn't expect.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're aiming for Q1 2020 general full release.”

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

“Some of the improvements to LyraVR we plan to make while we are in Early Access include a vastly expanded palette of instrument nodes, more controller instruments specifically designed for VR, and enhanced visualization options. We plan to continue to polish the look and feel of LyraVR, and also to include tools for users to customize their environment. We also want to offer additional sound packs in the styles that users request most. Another priority on our development road map is to give users the ability to share their creations online, and to download songs made by other users.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“LyraVR is already a fully functional sequencer. You can place nodes and link them into sequences, or you can create loops and nodes by playing controller instruments like the DK9 drum kit and the KB88 keyboard. LyraVR lets you easily create chords, arpeggios and play preset musical phrases with the Autoplayer 3000 controller. You can import audio loops as well as record audio inside of LyraVR and re-import it as loops. You can edit multiple nodes at once - create a loop and easily duplicate it, or change the pitch on all nodes at once.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price during early access as we add new content and features.”

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

“We will be active in the forums and relying on the community for feedback.”
