Yi.magination Announces The Release of Float
Comixware Version 1.2.2
Newhall,
California - February 25, 2003, Yi.magination Studios today announces
the release of Float Comixware version 1.2.2. This is a much anticipated
update to the debut release of Comixware (version 1.2) two months
ago. Comixware, developed and published by Yi.magination Studios,
is an interactive storytelling apparatus that marries contents and
software in one integrated package that offers user unprecedented
customizability and creativity to the multimedia contents. Read the
original Press Release.
Despite
the minor increment in the version id, the current update adds substantial
improvement to Comixware's features and functionality. Namely: the
full screen mode, and the Mac compatibility.
Full
Screen mode - In addition to the original normal 640
x 480 screen mode, Comixware now offers an 800 x 600 large screen
mode for better display quality. User can switch between the 2 modes
at the flick of a button anytime, anywhere in the application. The
visual impact of a Full Screen presentation is stunning (especially
for the resolution independent Flash contents). One has to see it
to believe it.
Mac
Compatibility - Now a Mac version of Comixware is available
and is fully in par with its PC sibling. This is not only a welcome
addition to potential Mac customers (who are usually artistically
inclined and therefor likely subscribers to the idea of Comixware)
but also an important philosophical fulfillment for the software
itself: being unique but utterly inclusive.
Pricing and Compatibility

The Demo
A
demo version of Comixware is currently posted on Float web site for

reduced contents and features. But all the major functions of Comixware
are kept intact for people to get a good feel of its power and potential.
In fact one could spend hours already exploring endless creative possibilities
with this considerably 'reduced' edition. The demo can be found at
