Part of the hyperPad Team
We've just submitted a new beta
new bug fixes:
@NeilSenn Sent you an invite, check the email tied to your hyperPad account and you will see a TestFlight invitation.
One thing to be aware of, we don’t recommend working on any serious projects on the betas. There may be compatibility issues. And also make sure all projects are backed up. Betas are in development versions and can be unpredictable.
I'm really excited for the new multitasking, menu bar, files app changes and the preview app!
Makes the iPad feel more powerful and like a typical computer when you need it.
Apples finally bridging the gap between iPad and Mac.
@Kore
This is actually a separate bug.
This is a bug with creating animations using the Asset Library. A workaround is to use the Play Animation behavior and select all the frames manually.

Can you be more specific on what you mean the sound doesn't work?
On a side note related to sound, we're launching a new audio engine in the next update due out soon.
I think the big issue is people biting off more than they can chew and lose motivation. Especially for a first game.
Usually what happens, people discover an app like hyperPad realizing they can finally make games they've always dreamed of. But ignore the fact that a lot of the games they've been playing and inspired by were created by larger teams or people with years of experience.
Thats why when people start, I always recommend starting with a small game. Do something like Pong, or brick breaker. And then try to add to it, make it more unique and exciting. From this you will really learn the toolset, and not lose motivation so quickly.
You don't need to make the next GTA, or epic RPG as your first game.
Start small, and celebrate the little wins along the way.
Sorry for the late reply.
To address your concern, the app is far from dead.
The forum could use some life though. We're going to start actively working on making the forum more active!
Easiest way is to just have an object the size of the screen on the UI layer.
In the next update we've added a toggle to interact with the screen on touch behaviours.
