Hello? Really?

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: NO

It seems that the publishers are so paranoid that they will lose market share to pirated versions, they have actually created an update path that leads nowhere. The Interlok anti-pitacy plugin required for the application to even run, and the Phone Home registration number check required to activate this beast, aren't enough. They have to make it maze challenge game on the order of a MMORG adventure, and when you finally get to the prize at the last tier, your prize is...Go back to the beginning and try again.

This is ridiculous. Don't waste your money on this over-priced monstrosity. Try instead one of the following:

Avenir (Mariner Software) -- $30.00
Jer's Novel Writer -- $25.00

Mariner Software will also be coming out with a more comprehensive story and novel plotting application, StoryMIll 3.0, in another month.

Hello? Really? - damian sholto payne

I spoke with Kynan and he emailed me a link to a download for a whole new install. Don't forget to trash your existing Dramtica folder first.

It now works flawlessly again for me.

Good luck
