We've not uploaded any news after Halloween. However, we are consistently doing our best to develop and improve the AvaKit. Several chronical bugs were fixed and the test with VTubers from Korea and Japan was implemented for update. 🧪 [h3][b]And now, we are announcing some significant news.[/b][/h3] [h1]AvaKit, what have you been doing? 😣[/h1] Prototype of AvaKit was inevitably unstable. However, the improvement of this unstableness was consistently postponed since we want to grasp what features need to be added and improved in relatively short time. This leads to the accumulation of bugs and small issues and it is internally concluded that AvaKit must be changed from head to toe to provide the best app that we've imagined. [h3]SO THIS UPDATE STARTS[/h3] The update details are as follows. [list] [*] Design, color, UI [*] Improved tracking performance [*] More kawaii effects and stickers [*] Camera device searching algorithm stability improved [*] Optimization [*] Miscellaneous fix that only devs will know [*] [h2][b]AND... OUR NEW MASCOT, HARU! 🎉[/b][/h2] [/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43977778/9ca35c81919273449e5032135ed4ca5b7505284d.png[/img] [h1]How will the new AvaKit be? 🤔[/h1] These features will not be applied immediately. [list] [*] Smoother and more realistic movement [*] Integration with streaming platforms (Twitch, YouTube, etc.) [*] Shader and rendering improvement [*] Unlimited tracking with just a single camera [*] ... and many more secret contents that will flourish your livestreaming [/list] And after finishing the early access, AvaKit will be officially released and it will not be free. This is an inevitable decision since we want to sustain the AvaKit dev team and develop amazing new features for the wonderful creators here 🙇‍♂️ The precise pricing plan is not decided yet, so we will announce it ASAP whenver it is confirmed. [h1]Release Plan[/h1] Based on our rough sketch, the official first version is going to be released in Jan or Feb this year. We will announce you the accurate date whenver it is confirmed. [h3]+ Will AvaKit support MacOS officially?[/h3] We realize that the MacOS support during the early access was ceased at some point since the number of devs in AvaKit team was limited. Whether MacOS will be officially supported will be confirmed after the official release. This is because there are relatively only a few people who use the MacOS version while there are lots of differences in the dev process between MacOS and Windows. (In terms of development, the code structure is little different and the extra process named 'notarization' must be implemented for MacOS version.) [b]Hence, AvaKit dev thought that the development of amazing new features and communication between all of you will be postponed if we decide to support both operation systems. [/b] However, [b]MacOS support will not be ceased immediately.[/b] AvaKit team will analyze the proportion of MacOS users and Windows users and will decide the MacOS version update period. We'll always try our best to improve AvaKit. Thank you.
