Well XP only - so not downloading the demo.

Their forums make it sound a little crap.

Hummmm. The URL title bar says, "Expression." I wonder if they are reworking that old program. Anyone know?

I'm not even sure who owns it, at this point. I thought that Corel bought it, but I could easily be wrong.

From the FAQ:

Is Acrylic a new version of Creature House Expression?

Yes, Acrylic is a development technology preview based on the Creature House Expression product.

I first heard of this program from Baba, and I've seen some cute results from it but I have yet to give it a try.
