If it's just running through various functions to see if everything is working correctly I'm in

Yes is it possible because I can make level editors and they work just fine no bugs if it doesn’t work I just check if I forgot anything and it’s normally if I forgot a behavior

@NeilSenn Thank you! We absolutely love hearing this! 🙌

Pitch variation is such a tiny tweak with a huge payoff, makes everything feel more alive. And yes! Instant testing with no compile time is a total game-changer. So glad you're getting the most out of it! 🎧✨ Do show us some of your WIPs with these behaviours.

And let us know if we should share more audio tips or examples for pitch/randomization :)

@NeilSenn said in WWDC26 Announcements for iPadOS26!:

@KrystalYee Appreciate the feature update. Truth be told I rarely pay attention. A two iPad setup with customizable voice commands could get rather interesting. Seeing the new external storage capabilities makes me think I'll be building an asset library as time goes on.
Really cool, thanks!

Glad you liked the update! Totally hear you, this new update could really open up some awesome creative possibilities! Can’t wait to see what cool games you build.

✅ Confirmed in the Next Update — Revamped Audio System

The next update will include the reworked audio system! All features mentioned previously will be available in the next update with the addition of new capabilities:

You can now perfectly loop sound effects in the Play Sound behavior. When Loop is enabled, you can define how many times it repeats before completing.

Sound effects have a priority field. When the audio engine is handling too many sound effects (or it's stuttering), it will drop sound effects with the lowest priority first. Use this to prioritize playback of important sound effects.

Sounds are preloaded, so there's no longer any lag when playing sound effects for the first time.

The Play Music behavior will have the ability to preload audio tracks too. If disabled, it will load the track before playback occurs (without lagging).

Music can also be persistent between scenes. When enabled in Play Music, music will not be interrupted when loading another scene.

Preloading scenes and overlays no longer interrupts audio.

🟠 Potential New Feature — Debounce Behavior

A new behavior that limits how many times it can be triggered. This can be used to prevent spamming specific actions.

🚀 Debounce Time - The cooldown time in seconds before the behavior can be triggered again.
🚀 Affected by Time Scale - If enabled, the scene's time scale can affect the debounce time.

@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.

@NeilSenn Our absolute pleasure! Biggest shout out to the dev team for all their hard work 🫡

Never mind...figured out the problem, user error

@NeilSenn

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.

@Bryce678 exciting! Show us updates :D
