Storyist Software has updated its story development tool, the aptly named Storyist, to version 2.0. The program, which features word-processing and organizational features, now adds a new “collage” mode to help visualize connections between story elements, a full-screen view, multiple windows, and support for comments and bookmarks.
Storyist 2 requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later. A downloadable version costs $59, but a combination download and boxed software set including a CD and printed manual costs $79. Registered users of Storyist 1.x can upgrade for $29; those who purchased Storyist 1.x since September 1, 2008 can upgrade for free.—Dan Moren
