De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„While developing and testing MuX, we found people using it in ways we hadn't expected. They also made music and sound that surprised us, things we couldn't have made ourselves. As we continue to develop and expand MuX, we find Early Access an opportunity to become informed and inspired by what others might create. MuX is an instrument, ready to be played, explored, and enjoyed by others than just us.”

Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în Acces Timpuriu?

„One year.”

Ce diferențe vor fi între versiunea completă, finală și cea aflată în Acces Timpuriu?

„There are several areas that we wish to develop further including procedural
composition, physics driven composition, and VR interfaces. The final version will also have improvements to the UX and there will be a "story mode" introduction. We aim to increase MuX's flexibility, power, and ability to share / interchange with other DAW's and third-party interfaces.
Throughout 2018, we will announce and release updates with new features and components.”

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în Acces Timpuriu?

„The current, modular component system (over 100 components to build with) allows you to shape sound using techniques such as additive, subtractive, & FM synthesis, as well as frequency & amplitude modulation. Spawn oscillators, choose their wave-type and frequency, then choose the components you want their signals to flow through. Use unique VR instruments, like our Theramux or Laser Keyboard to control or perform those sounds. In addition, MuX's 'event' components let you program specific things to happen at specific times, allowing you to make complex automated and procedural compositions. You can also create Rube Goldberg machine-like constructions using our marble kit. Each marble carries a unique numerical value (for MIDI or otherwise) and can trigger sounds or call other actions depending on how you set those values. You can use marble paths, marble cannons, marble funnels, etc., to trigger sounds around the MuX universe. You can also just build crazy machines with our octopus component. Save and load your creations. Export audio through your line-out, sound card, or capture devices. Over 2018, we aim to expand the exporting capability.

The current build is about empowering players with as many components and possibilities and deep level access as possible (we haven't dumbed down anything). For this reason, we haven't spent too much time developing in-game tutorials. Knowing a bit about programming and sound synthesis, or being willing to unravel it from the ground-up (equally exciting, as well as possible in the current build) is kind of a pre-requisite. If that doesn’t deter you, you can re-discover a world of sound, composition, audio physics, and programming through MuX.”

Va avea jocul aflat în Acces Timpuriu un preț diferit față de versiunea finală?

„Our current plan is to gradually raise the price as we add new content and features.”

Cum dorești să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„We want to see how people are playing MuX and take that into account while developing.   We will give regular updates on what we are working on, and sneak peaks into the development for those who might be interested.  We'd also like to support concerts given with MuX. We've created a forum where MuXers can ask each other questions, share knowledge, as well as scenes, be they music, soundscapes, constructions, or self-made instruments.  We want to build a community exploring new ways to compose, engineer, and perform music.”
