Welcome back!!

Tales from Toad Hall sounds fascinating! The whole idea of creating a fictional early-2010s children’s show and building the project so that someone might actually believe it existed is such a fun concept. The mock-edutainment angle gives you a lot of room to build a believable world around it too.

The character bios are a great start, and I’m definitely interested in seeing where you take this. I also really like that you’re treating it as a long-term project instead of forcing yourself to rush it. If you’re passionate about the idea, taking your time and developing it alongside your other projects makes a lot of sense.

Looking forward to seeing more from Toad Hall whenever you’re ready to share it! And welcome back to hyperPad! :)

Sorry missed this. Just resent the invite now.

@OminouzDreamz We will also be doing an ios27 pass soon, before ios27 is officially out. We'll do some testflight tests during that time and can add you to that.

Murtaza

These are most likely related to iOS27. We often don't recommend using beta versions of iOS for this reason.

It's usually image sizes, thats the thing most people often overlook. Amount of objects, behaviours etc. Doesn't really affect it.
Music, sounds, and images do.

One thing hyperPad does when it runs your project is dynamically loads assets in memory and creates an image atlas on first load. So it's faster later with switching scenes, and spawning objects etc.

Most people create super large images, and this is generally bad. 2D Game assets typically shouldn't exceed 256x256 px, and thats on the large size. Often times, most games can have a fully animated character fit on a 512x512 sprite sheet. And if you're doing pixel art, even smaller.

Sent you an invite to the email that you used for your hyperPad account

We don't have an estimate just yet. But I can add you to the testflight beta if you want early access?

I've expanded the pixel editor to be a full art studio. It can now do larger graphics, and has various brush types like an air brush so you can create all sorts of graphics.

I've also expanded on the animation tools by introducing Skeleton animation system. hyperPad doesn't currently support bones, so the plan here is that your created skeleton animation will flatten to a regular sprite sheet that works within hyperPad. Until we eventually offer bones.

Hmmm, this is pretty good idea. I think this can be split into 2 uses.

Make a project setting of supported devices. This shares to the hub, and when you play it in the hub it also preserves the device it is desiged for (I think in this case it should auto default to the one closest to your current aspect ratio).
An editor setting, to automatically select the desired aspect ratio when running the project from the editor. This way you can quickly test with out always having to switch aspect ratios.

Of course in both situations the available aspect ratios will be selectable from the in game menu as it is now.

Does this idea solve your problem?

Murtaza

We've narrowed down the crash and have fixed it as part of the upcoming 2.8 update.
We'll also be doing some beta releases soon so you can see the fix in action.

Appreciate you reporting it to us and helping us track this down!
