Hello Animaze Community!
We are pleased to announce some significant changes to our business model. As of today, the following features are included in the FREE subscription tier and will no longer require a paid subscription:
- Simple audio-based lip sync
- Complex audio-based lip sync
- iPhone Bridge (iPhone based tracking for the PC)
As we add additional trackers such as Leap Motion Hand tracking, we plan to include those in the free tier as well.
Additionally, both paid subscription tiers now include all Animaze original avatars, backgrounds, props, and emotes. Subscribers will only need to pay coins for partnered content. While we are in Early Access, we will continue to explore the right balance between making Animaze a great value and creating a sustainable business model that can support ongoing improvements and maintenance. We appreciate your feedback and patience as we navigate this tricky balance.
Here is a detailed rollout of what the subscriptions offer:
Known issues:
The iPhone Tracking and Advanced Configurations feature still appear in the drawer for Accounts under the Subscription section, but they are indeed free and we will amend the showing very soon.
As always, we love hearing what you think about the new features and Animaze! Tell us what you’d like to see added to Animaze on our Discord server, email us at support[@]animaze[.]us, or message us on Twitter!
Happy Streaming,
The Holotech Team
