Final App Added to MacHeist 2 Bundle: VectorDesign!

Posted by Ammon Beckstrom on 01/22/08 in Linkage, News

Yesterday, TweakerSoft’s VectorDesign was revealed as the final app for the current MacHeist 2 Bundle. As Pixelmator is to Adobe PhotoShop, VectorDesign is to Adobe Illustrator. For those of us who want to be able to create and edit vector graphics (.svg, .eps, etc.), but don’t want to spend several hundred dollars, VectorDesign looks to fill the void.

MacHeist aims to bring the best shareware from the brightest independent Mac software developers to the masses. We’ve already highlighted the contents of the bundle, but since then all of the original apps have been unlocked - Speed Download has been included, and two games from FreeVerse have been added as well. So now VectorDesign has been included as well.

As it now stands, the bundle has a value of nearly $500 worth of quality Mac shareware for under $50. not to mention that $300,000 has been raised for charity!

MacHeist’s John Casanta has confirmed that no additional apps will be added to the bundle. If you’ve been holding out on buying until the final bundle contents were announced, wait no longer. The bundle goes the way of the dodo this Thursday.

Hah, those jerks. I have to download Wingnuts2 via torrent (that’s the official download method!) and there’s NO PEERS. Besides, what if I was unable to download torrents, like I used comcast or something? then I’d lose an app.

Hmm I dunno Tom, somehow I think that is pretty minor compared to raising 300k for charities while still providing such a bargain. Also torrent clients are free and readily available on all platforms so I’m not sure how you ‘couldn’t’ use a torrent client - even on comcast.

One of the good folks at MacHeist provided a direct download mirror. That should resolve any download problems.

According to the MacHeist and VectorDesigner sites, the software does not require Leopard as is stated in the article. It will also run on 10.4 and requires at least a 900 Mhz G4.

Vector Design doesn’t open/edit AI files, so I’ll pass.
