Not that long ago, in a galaxy not that far away, we released an update to Pharos IV: Assault!
This 1.1 updates unleashes computer assisted torpedo targeting for greater accuracy, resumption from highest level attained - no more starting over from level 1 - and fixed the stutter issue that affected iPhone 3.0 users.
Update is for both iPhone/iPod Touch and Pharos IV: Assault and Pharos IV: Assault Lite versions.
This latest update for Comic Touch (1.2.2) (direct link to App Store) addresses several issues that popped up with the release of the latest iPhone 3.0 update.
The update fixes UI display, photo rotation issues when going into landcape mode, and image effects display issues.
Please update from within iTunes or using your iPhone/iPod Touch device.
A Comic Life for Mac 1.5 update has officially been made available for download.
This latest free update has several exciting new features including the eagerly awaited easy-to-make Single Panel comic creations, ability to import other Comic Life documents, and the option of having referenced images to speed up open and save time.
Plus a bunch of other features and improvements. The full release notes can be viewed here.
As always, this update is also for the Deluxe version.
Please update from within Comic Life or from our downloads page.

When can I purchase a Windows version? And how long can we use the beta? It says it expires...in X days...
The beta will be usable until the 1st of July and we plan to release a full version before then. At this time, we will then make Comic Life for sale.
To use it until the 1st of July, you have to register it using the below details:
Register using these details: Name or Organization: Beta Tester Serial Number: CMLFW1-665C-A113-D628-BF57-01A6
Re:Download Comic Life Windows beta - 2007/05/21 13:34We plan to release another beta very soon which should address this issue. Please check back in a couple of weeks, and please let us know if you are still having issues.
Thanks.

I have unistalled and reinstalled but it still happens. Unfortunately it is behind the comic life icon when it comes up so i can't get any more details. After closing the error message in task manager the program opens but then closes automatically... Any thoughts? i would love to get this working on my computer!
Nickv, are any crash.dmp files created in your Comic Life folder?
If so can you please email them to clwinbeta@plasq.com

Re:Download Comic Life Windows beta - 2007/05/22 05:07Well done. And congrats to the porter (I see they have usually experience the other way around actually). I was surprised (happily) to see how faithfully the port sticked to the CL's spirit, and how far the port was pushed (It must have been quite a lot of work to recreate all these effects that are given for free by Mac OS). I guess the influx of feedback from the "dark side" will make CL evolve for the best.
Although we must be careful not to fall into the fateful trap of the cluttered interface (I think of tiny parts of the feedback of cybrpunk: most of his requests are spot-on, some of them -about adding more controls on the toolbar- might stem from another UI approach.) I second, on the other hand, his request for numerical input fields for some controls (all the width controls etc. It makes hard to replicate between elements). But in the details view.
All in all, a very agreable surprise, and I am ready to bet, a bright future for both CL versions. (It will be a challenge to keep both versions up to par) A tiny bit sad to lose one of the "unfair" last resort arguments I was using to convince friends to buy a Mac... But glad to see how far and well CL has grown, on to conquer the world(s).
Well done guys!
Now, fasten you seatbelts, the doors of hell are about to open, and zillions of users will come with weird requests, complaints, bugs, ... and sometimes, as it is already the case, with thanks and congratulations.

Re:Download Comic Life Windows beta - 2007/05/22 17:13Well isn't that just great! I saw this program a few years ago and instantly fell in love. However I have been working in the PC field for 20 plus years. I showed it to friends, installed it on demo computers in the stores and just loved it. I really hated that I couldn't find it for the Windows scene.
I found a comparable program for Windows, but it just wasn't the same.
I now teach English in Korea and I went and bought a MacBook with it installed (pretty much the ONLY reason I bought the MacBook).
I love it!!!! Thanks for the product and now doubly thanks for the Windows Beta. I've downloaded it and will show my children how to use it.
My Korean students really like it when I make a comic book for them to read about our exploits here as teachers.

Re:Download Comic Life Windows beta - 2007/05/22 20:40What version of Windows will this be compatible with? I just bought a new computer and it came with Vista. I have the Beta version and it works fine but I figured I would throw that out there.

It will be compatible with XP and Vista.
Some users are experiencing some issues installing on both, but we are trying to work that out.
Would also like to hear feedback on how people have gone registering with the Beta key on Vista - some people seem to be having issue when selected "All Users On This Computer".
