Hi Urkim 99, but almost everything you said is just not true. We do not support Windows XP or Vista. Windows 7 and higher is required. We make extensive use of Visual C++, c++ amp, and make extensive use of modern programming practices in addition to supporting legacy code. We're not in a rush to port hundreds of thousands of lines of code to something entirely new just to say we did it. APIs come and go on a regular basis. Windows Forms, WPF, and etc, have all come and gone, but we continue to use what makes sense. Again, I'm sorry you did not find it useful. 20 years ago, we set out to write a program that would help people get their films made, and we've worked hard and put our money where our mouth is over those years.

Folks, I have the full version of PD Howler 2019 0025. Before that I had PD Howler 10, and before that I had PD Artist 9; however, I had free versions of Project Dogwaffle before I got paid versions, and never once did I complain. I have liked and even loved all that I have had. On top of this, you can find tutorials on YouTube that explain how to use the various tools and even how to create your own brushes for the program. Yes I am still learning, but for a program that gets regular upgrades, that should always be expected.

I must say this:
If you are expecting a full version in a giveaway, you are not going to get it in most cases for any program. If you are looking for the latest and greatest pro version here at GAOTD, I've not seen that happen ever. Even full versions of something being given away here will not be the proprietor's latest.

The fact that you are getting a lite version of Howler here, and it is a 2019 one, is awesome in my opinion! Grab it, use it. Even with the limitations, there are plenty of things you can do with it. So you cannot do everything that the full version does. You cannot seriously expect that.

L. Cleveland Major,

"If you are expecting a full version in a giveaway, you are not going to get it in most cases for any program."

True, but there's always open source, in this case Krita. krita[.]org
Or you can buy it for $10 in win10's store or on Steam.

That's not saying anything good or bad about Howler -- just an alternative or compliment for your toolkit.

The name made me think of "Night Howlers" from Zootopia...LOL

It looks promising but does not respond to my tablet. It identifies it, says it is enabled, etc., but refuses to do anything with it. Only the mouse works in the test area. Not a positive thing for most artists. Everything else on this computer works with it, even programs without tablet support.
