Title: I am looking for a program.
Post by: KWPech on October 16, 2012, 03:14:12 PM

Hey all,
I am searching for a program that would allow me to build a virtual story board.
I want to lay out a large, I don't know... say a family tree of all my characters. Each box would have just their name and when I click on them a new window would open that held all the pertinent information about that character.
Does that make sence?
I have numerous things going right now that would be tons easier if i could lay them out in such a fashion.

Anyone know of such a thing? Free or not, I don't care.

Thanks.

I don't.  But what you could do is use Wikidpad.  It lets you do kind of what you want with enough work.

Reportedly, Scrivener furnishes that kind of functionality: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrivener_%28software%29

It would be extremly redundant at this point to mention it but:

And if you have a Mac, for the next 7 days, you can get Scrivener, bundled with several other programs, for $29. http://macheist.com (http://macheist.com) Pretty cool deal.

PC Scrivener does not allow full free-form corkboarding, but it's still pretty damn good.
