We are thrilled to announce that Korsakow 5.0 is now available for download on this, our brand new website. The development team began work on this project in October 2008, and I’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to Dave, Stuart, Gabriel and Florian for their hard work and commitment throughout the process. It’s also worth adding that, without Florian’s brilliant insights about nonlinear storytelling, there would be no Korsakow at all.
We have made several important changes. Korsakow is now a single, integrated application. Features such as interface design and subtitling are now all handled inside the application. It even comes with a prebuilt K-Film called Circle of Life, which will be familiar to those of you who have used Korsakow in the past. Best of all, Korsakow now publishes a browser-ready Flash file (ie .swf), instead of a Shockwave file. It even allows users to import old K-Films built with version 3 and republish them in a much more accessible format.
We’re still working on this website, but it already includes a vernissage of new and republished K-Films, a Quick Start guide, and FAQs. We’re also committed to improving Korsakow, which is where you come in: We invite all of you to become an active part of the international Korsakow community by introducing yourselves in the Forum, telling us how you use Korsakow, and contributing your ideas for improvements and enhancements. Since Korsakow is now a free, open source application, it offers all kinds of possibilities for development, but we can’t do it properly without your ideas and energy!
We hope you enjoy using Korsakow. We look forward to hearing from you, and to finding out all the amazing ways you use Korsakow in your creative endeavours.
