@RobinsonX yeah ive seen that bro that was pretty good.

COVID really put a delay on a lot of things for us. Early on in the pandemic development pretty much stopped. Then we switched to remote, which was a challenging early on, and we lost a lot of development time. We’re now just getting back in the groove of things. The update that was supposed to be release months ago is getting much closer to release now. After that will be the hub/community revamp. Then lighting with parallax. No promises on dates since things really went downhill the last time. But we’re getting back on track!

@Murtaza thanks i believe once this game is finished it will literally utilize about 98% of every behavior listed on hyperpad. That was the goal. If Nintendo has Mario and Sega has Sonic. Then Hyperpad has Moonchild. Thanks for this amazing mobile game engine app. Truly powerful. If @hamed is near you can you please tap him and ask how the lighting is coming along :).

@xotikorukx said in Apple restrictions with Hyperpad: @Murtaza I know this is a necro (for which I apologize), however, after years away and a lost account, I've been following your progress again. I'm having a hard time discerning if "prefabs" are part of the "functions" feature you're discussing here. I know back in the days (which was somehow only 3 years ago; yikes!) there was a big discussion about adding them. This was because run-time cloned objects were a major pain - during the game press to tappa.bl transition - having to manage your own ID system and such. I'm rambling at this point, so I'll let it be :) Yes, we're thinking functions and prefabs will work together. While not the same feature, they will rely on each other. But this isn't 100% the case, and we may decide to go a different route.

@SplitMindGaming I don't think you can at the moment, would be nice if we could.

Mk, good to know

@Aidan_Fire that is actually really good. Its perfect for my cut scenes. I do however would love a behavior that can make this process easier as my game will have many dialogue pop ups that come from the text bubble. Would be neat to have the typewriter effect within that little popup. But what u showed i didnt even know hyperpad can do that. You learn something everyday.

@SplitMindGaming Yeah I get this too, it usually happens when hyperPad tries to get an image but fails. I can force it to happen by loading an image into hyperPad, putting it in my dash board and then deleting the image from my hyperPad.

@Hamed hmm maybe a way it can atleast highlight the sounds that are not in use perhaps. Take a look at my sound folder. About 30% of those sounds were test audio that no longer are in use. If it can highlight what sounds are currectly not in use. It will give us the option to delete it manually. I can also understand your point of view. Some developers may import sounds ahead of time and use them later. The highlight unused audio is probably the safest method to please both worlds.

@Hamed oh I see yes thats perfect. Thank you.

There could be a toggle for "advanced" or "more" properties like how we had it back in the day when behaviors were grouped into advanced and basic groups. We could have more properties, yet keep a clutter-free UI. Almost everything in hyperPad are seperated by groups, and it wouldn't hurt to just add another section dedicated to object properties. Right?

You can also create large pixel art by increasing your brush size. For example every 4 pixels is 1 pixel.

@SplitMindGaming many things

@Hamed oh sweet is there an eta on the beta update. I have a bunch of animations i want to import.

@SplitMindGaming Any time :)
