As a professional software developer who also dabbles in writing, I would love to port DSE to PC. The theory is just so fascinating to me, and I know I would do the software justice.
It’s great when one can work on something one truly believes in.
Agreed.
In the past, emulating Mac on PC has been easy. Emulating PC on Mac has been easy. Emulating either on Linux has been easy (though in any case, it only works well with normal programs, not major games). Just my experience. I am looking forward to Story Expert on PC for sure. So, I second the Yes Yes Yes.
Easy does not equal legal. Apple is pretty explicit about only running their OS on their hardware.
And their OS is also very picky about internal components like graphics cards. It doesn’t like graphics cards in most PC laptops, for example.
I haven’t looked into it in awhile. Seems like everyone is virtual - working everything. Seems like you can do anything with a MAC or most anything with a PC, but it’s all a matter of whose sandbox you are playing in.
As far as PC Version of Dramatica Story Expert…
Are we looking forward to an update in general improving on the Story Expert for Mac?
Are there any previews about such things?
Is there any opportunity for requesting functionality?
I think those are good questions. 
I would love to port DSE to Windows. Seriously. I have been a software engineer for twenty years (ten years of C++) and love Dramatica as well (or I wouldn’t be here).
No, we can’t patch Dramatica Pro. These story points ARE available in Dramatica Pro, just not in the Story Engine. Just go to the ALL DQS TOPICS topic list (for example), and scroll down until you get to the “More Story Points” section. All of the eight static plot points are available to choose for storyforming, or illustrate.
I would love for you to be able to but we’re halfway through the process and it is not something that can be readily be interrupted. Thanks for the offer, though!
Ah, OK. Too bad. I’ll just have to wait patiently with all the other Windows users, then.
I saw this mentioned in your excellent post Always Be Writing.
It would be great if you would share a specific example of how you use Omnioutliner.
I’ve tried using it a few times and end up with a mess of story points, throughlines and encodings all over the place.
Sure. I have a big article planned about the Users Group Embroidery Meeting - but after that I’ll do a write-up of it. Thanks for reading!
Looking forward to seeing posts on both of those subjects.
Just wondering if there is any guess as to an expected release date for DSE Windows version?
I’m pretty new to Dramatica so sorry if I missed this information somewhere else.
Any progress or ETA for this? Back when the Dramatica Email List was still running, I used to pester Chris @chuntley all the time, asking when Dramatica 5 was coming… (this was before DSE for Mac).
Been using Dram Pro for a long time now, and it’s still VERY useful… but I’d like to see DSE for Windows so I can take full advantage of the Gists and other new features.
Plus, while Dram Pro is still very good in terms of functionality, it’s looking extremely dated at this point.
Please tell me a PC version is still in the works…
It is still in the works but a bit stalled at the moment. We ran into a technical problem that requires us to undo a lot of work we’ve done. Sorry for the delay.
I understand you’re having troubles right now, but can you let us know the ball-park idea as it looks at this time for the sale date for the Windows version of DSE?
It’s just that I was planning to finally get Dramatica Pro in a month or two, but now I’ve seen DSE over on YouTube and I really want to wait if it’s coming out in like 6 months or less. If that’s not realistic I’m thinking I’ll bite the bullet and go with Pro after all.
So, if we all promise to not take it as a promise - can you tell us how close to market you feel/think is realistic - at this time?
Thanks, Aedan
Unfortunately, no E.T.A. It is unlikely to happen before next year. 
Well, - thanks for letting me know so quickly. I’ll just update later when it comes out. Please, please don’t give up.
Hi Chris, it’s July 2017… any ETA on DSE for PC. I’ve got $150 in my hot little hand.
