What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Desktop Engine is still in active development, and user feedback plays a key role in this process. Early Access allows us to directly implement community suggestions and build a more stable and feature-rich experience.

”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We aim to release the full version roughly by the end of 2025, depending on development progress and community feedback.”

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

“In the full version, we plan to offer a more advanced content editor that allows users to create characters, scenes, and interaction systems in greater detail.
While the foundation is present in Early Access, we aim to expand customization and user control significantly.
Our current roadmap includes:
• A significantly more advanced scene and character editor
• Integration with APIs of streaming platforms such as Twitch and Kick
• Interactive character systems with real-time responses
• New features such as avatar click reactions”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The application already includes core functionality: 2D/3D character support, animation system, physics simulation are fully working. Steam Workshop support is also active for content sharing.”

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

“While no final decision has been made yet, we are considering a gradual price increase as we add more features and improvements throughout Early Access and into the full release.
The price may increase to reflect the added value and expanded feature set.”

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

“We plan to gather feedback through Steam forums, our Discord community, and surveys. Features most requested by users will be prioritized during development.”
