When you are satisfied with an amount of symbols you have, you export just the symbols. You create an instance of something and then try to design the scene with it, it's almost like you are programming a game inside an art program. The Symbols feature is exactly what we want in Affinity Designer. I didn't bake the picnic mat, that allows me to move it back when screen gets narrower, or stretch it out in the case of a notch present. One more reason not to bake everything as one big sheet is that mobile games nowadays should adapt to the device. This way, each pieces looks sharp and cost low memory and space. Then details like grass and dots are placed manually over it to recreate the original design. The big sheet of BG is now just a simple solid green rectangle that cost nothing because it could be made from recolored white square with big scaling. Instead, we should recreate the art in-game again with bits of reusable pieces even if they doesn't looks like a gameplay element. However to display that BG with no loss in quality it would take huge RAM and space on device like iPad Pro. There are space constraints, and performance constraints.įor example if you see a finished design like in the picture above, artist with no game development knowledge would export a big sheet of BG with a separated sliced fruit sprite for gameplay, perhaps. Unlike traditional art, game is an interactive media so you can't go all out and count everything as a mere pixels. the technology had already advanced far past that point though! Use Symbols feature as a representation of instances in the actual game Users who do not require the full package will still be able to buy Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Designer 2, or Affinity Publisher 2 individually for Mac, PC, or iPad with the same 40% launch discount, Serif added.Īll apps, including the V2 Universal Licence, are also available as a 30-day free trial.Many may know how to create an artwork in art program, however I am still seeing some people slicing images for export manually or even create each artboard for each little images. Hewson said the pricing structure makes Affinity “the only viable option for many of the brilliant and inspiring creative people around the world, who would otherwise not have access to the highest-quality tools”. However, Serif is currently offering a 40% launch discount to make the whole V2 suite available for an £89.99 one-off cost with no subscription. The Universal Licence will normally be available for £144.99, a £155.92 saving on buying all the apps on all operating systems individually. The power and portability of Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad allows you to take page design and layout out of the confines of the office and into whatever space brings you most inspiration.”Īffinity V2 Universal Licence gives customers the option to buy a package containing Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Designer 2, and Affinity Publisher 2 for use on Mac, PC, and iPad for a single all-inclusive amount. “There’s genuinely never been anything like this before. And now we’re the first to bring all the features you’d associate with desktop publishing to the iPad as well,” said Hewson. “Our work to put full desktop-quality creative software onto iPad has led the world and set new industry standards for what users should expect from iPad apps. We think Affinity users both old and new are going to love it.”Īlongside the launch of Affinity Version 2 is Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad, which Serif said completes the core suite of apps available on macOS, Windows, and iPadOS. “We have worked tirelessly to not only include many of the new features our customers have been asking for, but a whole host of usability and workflow improvements to make the apps more productive than ever. “At Serif, we know that we don’t work for ourselves – we work for the photo editors, the artists, the illustrators, the designers, all those people who rely on Affinity software as the engine to power their day. “For the very first time we’re bringing the very latest, highest performing versions of all our products to the market at the same time, with some simply stunning features. The package features Affinity Photo 2, which offers “ultra-powerful photo editing and raster painting”, Affinity Designer 2, offering “intuitive, imaginative vector graphic design and illustration”, and Affinity Publisher 2, a page layout software that features StudioLink, a way of using the editing tools from the two other Affinity products.Īshley Hewson, managing director of Serif, said: “Setting new standards for creative software, Affinity V2 is by far the biggest, most exciting launch in the history of Serif. Released by the British company last month, Affinity Version 2 is said to comprise reimagined versions of the three products, including “spectacular new features and a stunning new look”.
