      ✅ 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.

      ✅ Confirmed in the Next Update — "Touch Anywhere" Toggle in Touch Behaviors

      In Started Touching, While Touching and Stopped Touching behaviors, there will be a new Touch Anywhere toggle.

      When enabled, you can trigger the behavior when touching anywhere on the screen (unless if you touch an object with touch behaviors). You no longer have to put a thicc object behind the scene to have touches recognized everywhere.

      You can now have the loop wait between iterations. The time to wait depends on behaviors connected under the loop.

    • How to recover a project?

      We recently received a question about recovering a project — the user had cloud saves enabled and had also been experimenting with local saves.

      Here’s how it works!

      IMG_2340.jpg

      Tap on the hamburger icon on the top left corner of the screen in the projects page.

      IMG_2341.jpg

      Then tap on My Cloud Backups.

      IMG_2342.png

      Your cloud backups will be found here for all your projects.

      ⭐️ It's worth noting that cloud backups only happen when you save and close your project. So make sure you're doing this often!

      Let us know if this was helpful and if we should keep sharing user questions! Feel free to contribute your own advice, tips and tricks :)

      Have a great day creating games on iPad everyone 💚

    • RE: How You Could Use hyperPad! Game inspo and more

      FNAF

      Love FNAF?

      With hyperPad, you can bring terrifying jump scares to life by using the collision behavior to detect player movement and trigger events. Use parallax scrolling for eerie depth in your scenes, and tweak the z-order to ensure your animatronics appear at the right moments for maximum fear factor.

      Show us what you've been working on this spooky October!
