(I doubt the Microsoft Store would ever sell Mac versions of any app! )

Yea I know :p

but microsoft store is the same concept as the mac app store. So same for the windows users

So with the new updater build inside the Affinity apps soon, does this mean Affinity won't be available anymore in the App store in the future?

I'm one of those few people that love the App store for it's safety and auto updating all my apps. It's just so user friendly.

49% Affinity Designer at first place!

Hope this is allowed.

But an option like this would make a small but nice difference in my workflow with my trackpad

Apple Pages give haptic feedback when an image or object is snapping, this would be a nice feature for Affinity Designer and Photo.

Will there be some change to how to touch bar works?

I love that you guys have touch bar support, really great.

But some buttons on my touch bar are mirroring the ones in the tool bar on screen.

Quote

Avoid mirroring Touch Bar interactions on the main screen. If the user taps a button in the Touch Bar and is presented with a list of options, for example, don’t also present those options on the main screen.

And I kinda agree with that.

But then again, I don't have any idea of how to do it differently.

Anyone here some ideas on how to improve the touch bar?

These are really great. The colours used are really nice and the artwork has a good sense of fun.

I have some very minor comments:
* Are you having a different colour jelly monster for each suit? That would make the suits easy to distinguish at a glance.
* Have you tried using a number of jelly monsters instead of the normal suit symbols? E.g. Using six monsters instead of six hearts. (Might get a bit crowded when you get to ten though.)
* Did you know that you've got two aces of spades? I know it's a work in progress, I just thought I'd mention it in case clubs was accidentally missed.
* I noticed some tiny issues where some of the suit symbols aren't consistent across all of the symbols. E.g. The heart under the ace is different to the hearts in the five, and the spade on the top-left-hand of the ace isn't the same upside-down on the same card.

Anyway, trifling issues aside, if I was looking to buy a pack of cards then this is the sort of thing I'd go for rather than a normal boring pack.

I'm looking forward to seeing more progress on this. It might give me some impetus to have a go at trying to make my own.

Thanks for the feedback!
Yes I was aware of the few mistakes in the concept, I kept the two different spades because I wasn't sure which one I preferred more.

And I'm still not really sure how I should design the whole deck of cards. My first option was to have different colour jelly monsters for each suit indeed.

Most decks have like 55 +/- cards in it. Creating a different illustration for each card is an option, but I'm afraid I will run out of ideas to have the monsters mirrored, interact with the mirrored monster and have the symbol interaction in it. (heart 5 is a great example of the idea, last image)

my second option would be creating a unique illustration for each card in a suit ( A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K) give them all one colour and copy the illustration for the other suits but with different colours and symbols, but I'm not sure if that would come off as laziness.

(also the numbers will be redrawn, just filling spaces now for the looks)

So any tips or help would be great!
