big smile Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 So excited! Affinity is awesome, and a new version would be amazing. However, I hope they fix the bugs. Version 1.10 introduced bugs which destroyed my workflow and they've been unaddressed since Sep2021. Hopefully this new version has these bugs fixed.

Balt Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Hi guys, Does anyone know if this 2.0 version will be considered as a new product, hence we'll have to pay for new run of 2.xx triplet ? Not that it matters much to me, just want to know where this is going. Sounds like the scripts are in the game now and I'll be more than happy to pay for it.

Yes, you will have to pay for the next major version somehow, I think they made that public a long time ago. (And it's fine as long as they don't go subscription, I'm more than happy to pay, their prices are a steal anyway compared to that other company).

Since then it's all been work towards 2.0 I assume (and I'm very happy about that!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The speculation (and wishful thinking) on social media is all over the place. Many folks seem to be expecting that Serif is about to release a video editor, or motion graphics app, or an animation app, or a 3D app/add-on, or an Android or Linux version, or a creative, generative AI tool, or a UI/UX design/prototyping app, or a web design/publishing app, a PDF editor/Acrobat replacement, or a Lightroom replacement, or the long the rumoured DAM. Honestly, I'd be super happy if Serif simply evolved their existing applications and ideas (along with finally releasing Publisher for iPad), fixed many of the long standing issues (UI/UX, graphics driver issues, acquire image bugs, SVG export, etc.) and feature requests (RTL language support, footnotes, tagged/accessible PDF support, epub export, vector blend/distort, improved brush management, variable font support, etc.), ensured compatibility with the latest OS updates, and then threw in a some magic sprinkles in terms of new workflows, extensions, partnerships (ahem, Astute Graphics)—along with a few exciting new possibilities. I would love to see the Affinity v2.x release(s) finally see Serif “setting defining the new industry standard in the world of design[1]”. [1] This strap-line has previously been used by Serif in the marketing of their Affinity products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just ask Serif to build them into Designer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad_Wolf Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 By the way, I got 5 or 6 years of free updates in the V1.0 versions, I do not mind if I have to pay full price again. I like the Affinity suit so much and I am relying on it. For me it is far more important that Affinity's future is secured.
