Hello MadDoggyca,

We intended to make it an Early Access, but unfortunately this status is not available for Software on Steam, only for Games. We discussed this with the Steam Developers Support and the only option to have an Early Access was to make a Pre-Order with Beta access.

ah ok.. makes sence I guess though really never botherd me I was eyeing this ever since indigogo

Edited the title to make it pin-able.

Should say "BETA available" in hightlight. I almost ignored it as I thought I cannot use it right away.

There's no code (that was only for people who backed it on indiegogo)

In the Steam app, hover the mouse over "Library" and pick "Software" instead of "Games". FaceRig will be listed there, because it isn't a game.

I have a related question that I don’t think merits a separate thread: So I got Facerig while it’s on sale right now and it says that it’s in beta. But I will retain access to it forever, even after release, right?

The EULA kinda confused me on this point.

Yes, the "beta-licence" will automatically upgrade to a "1.0-version-licence" at no added cost, meaning that you bought FaceRig cheaper and can play with it sooner, although there might be some problems here and there (that's what the forums are for)


(FYI: I'm not part of the dev-team, statement can only be taken as guidance and is based on hear-say / own intuition and Holotech studios is not responsible for mistakes I make unless this statement is confirmed by a member of the development team)

Yes you will retain access to it, even after release :D.

We need to do it this way because Valve does not have the "early access" program enabled for software, only for games.
So essentially pre-order with instant Beta Access is the equivalent of "early access", and like on "early access" once you commit to ordering it , you will receive the early version now, and the finalized version too when it becomes available:).

Alright, I see. Awesome! Thanks, guys!

Now Early Access has become available for Software, so this thread is no longer very useful :D. Will unpin it soon :).

Yay ^^
