Questions about setup, displays, and game support.

Facette turns a Windows second screen into a game-specific readout and control surface. It shows live state the game exposes and sends the actions you have mapped, without taking focus off the game.

A Face is the screen Facette draws for one specific game. It brings together the controls, live game state, and information that matter while you play, built around that game and the display you use.

No. Each deliberate user interaction produces a declared control action. Facette is not a bot or unattended automation system.

Elite Dangerous and X4: Foundations, both on Windows.

Facette is an unofficial project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Frontier Developments or Egosoft. Elite Dangerous is developed and published by Frontier Developments, and X4: Foundations is developed and published by Egosoft.

Facette is in a free closed alpha on Windows. Selected testers are running signed builds for Elite Dangerous and X4: Foundations, and the early access form is how you get considered for one.

Yes. The closed alpha is free, and long-term pricing has not been finalized.

No. The first layouts are designed for the Edge at 2560 × 720, but Facette can open on other connected Windows displays. Compatibility and layout quality will vary by screen size while adaptive scaling is still being developed.

Yes. Live readouts and status information can run on a normal second monitor. Interactive controls need a usable touch or pointer input path.

No, but touch gets the fullest experience. Facette runs on Windows displays today: a touch panel gets full control, while a regular second monitor can still show live state without touch. Phone and tablet are not directly supported; a tablet that Windows already exposes as a normal secondary display may work, though that setup hasn't been broadly tested.

No. Facette runs in a window that does not take focus from the game.

That is one of the main problems Facette was built to solve. On the tested X4 and Elite Dangerous setups, touching the Face does not warp the game cursor, jerk the camera, or make the game lose focus.

No. Refocusing after every touch can cause stutter, audio cuts, and visible interruption. Facette is designed so the game never loses focus in the first place.

Facette imports bindings where supported and loads each supported game's known action list, so the controls match what you've actually mapped.

A Face control is linked to a game action, such as landing gear or travel mode. Facette maps that action to the user's current binding where the game exposes enough information.

No. A Face can be useful as a game-specific control surface, an information surface, or both. Facette only displays state as confirmed when the game provides a permitted source for it.

Official or clearly permitted sources, APIs, SDKs, journals, or mod surfaces. No process-memory reading, injection, anti-cheat bypass, or packet interception.

Facette shows which states come directly from the game and marks anything it is only remembering or can no longer verify.

Yes. Facette is meant to complement existing controls, not replace them. Binding support depends on what each game exposes.

Those tools are good at quick button grids. Facette is focused on full-screen, game-specific layouts with larger touch targets, live game data, and stable same-PC touch behavior.

There is some overlap. GameGlass combines game information and touch controls across many devices and games. Facette is currently focused on full-screen, game-specific interfaces for Windows secondary displays, and I want each Face to push deeper into one game's game data and workflows while keeping same-PC touch stable without stealing focus or moving the cursor.

Foundry is the planned creation system for building and editing Faces from shared game actions, game-data connections, components, layout kits, and visual skins.

Yes. There's a field for it in the early access form, and those requests are what decide which game I look at next.
