Have you ever wanted to create your own video game but felt overwhelmed by complex programming languages? With hyperPad, you can design, build, and launch your game—all from your iPad! Great for any aspiring game developer, an artist, or just someone who loves interactive experiences, we make game creation fun, intuitive, and accessible.

Perfect For All Ages

hyperPad is a powerful yet beginner-friendly game development platform designed for touch-based creation. Unlike traditional game engines that require coding, hyperPad uses a visual, drag-and-drop behavior system, allowing you to build games without writing a single line of code. But don’t be fooled—hyperPad is also packed with advanced features for those who want to take their projects to the next level.

Here’s how you can start designing your own game today! 🎮

Step 1: Choose Your Game Idea 💡

Every great game starts with an idea. Do you want to make a fast-paced platformer, a top-down shooter, a puzzle game, or a story-driven RPG? The possibilities are endless!

🔹 If you're unsure where to begin, try remixing existing projects from the hyperPad Hub to get a feel for how things work. 

🔹 Start small—focus on a single level or mechanic before expanding.

Step 2: Design Your Game World 🎨

A well-designed world makes your game immersive and enjoyable. With hyperPad, you can: 

✅ Import your own artwork and animations 

✅ Use free game assets from sources like Kenney.nl and OpenGameArt 

✅ Create dynamic environments with parallax backgrounds, lighting effects, and more

If you’re not an artist, don’t worry! There are plenty of free tools to help you create game art, such as: 

🎨 Krita – Great for hand-drawn assets and textures 

🎮 Piskel – Perfect for pixel art and sprite animations 

📐 Vectr – Easy-to-use vector graphics tool for UI elements

Step 3: Bring Your Game to Life with Drag-and-Drop Logic 🕹️

No coding? No problem! hyperPad’s behavior system allows you to: 🎯 Make enemies move and attack 🔄 Add health, score, and power-ups 🕹️ Create custom controls for mobile gameplay

Simply drag behaviors onto objects and connect them to create interactions—it’s that easy!

Step 4: Enhance with Sound & Music 🔊

Audio is an essential part of game design. A well-placed sound effect can make jumping, attacking, or collecting items feel much more satisfying.

🎵 Import royalty-free music and sounds from sites like freesound.org 

🎛️ Use GarageBand to create custom music and soundtracks 

🔊 Generate retro-style sound effects with bfxr.net

Step 5: Publish & Share Your Game 🚀

Once your game is polished and ready, it’s time to share it with the world!

📲 Upload it to the hyperPad Hub, where players and developers can discover and play your game. 

📱 Export your game to the App Store and turn it into a commercial product!

Unlike other platforms, hyperPad allows you to publish your game without taking a percentage of your earnings, making it an excellent choice for indie developers.
