Beta Week 12: Shader Support, 3d Perspective, and a rebuilt ThemeBuilder

[fr0stbyt3]

Hey everyone!

We’ve got a solid round of updates to share across HyperSpin, ThemeBuilder, and HyperHQ—with big improvements to performance, visuals, and workflow. Most notably: 3D Perspective support is in, themes now load faster, and a bunch of long-standing bugs have been squashed thanks to your reports.

Let’s break it down:

Theme Engine Updates

The latest ThemeBuilder beta includes:

• 3D Perspective Mode – Bring depth and dimension to your themes

• Improved UI Controls – Smoother workflows and better precision.

• New Flag Shader – Adds ripple motion for more dynamic effects

• Updated Spritesheet Handling – More responsive and accurate

• Save Project Fixes – No more corrupted saves or lost work

These updates also speed up theme loading in HyperSpin itself—everything feels snappier and more responsive.

Coming Soon

We’re working on even more tools to boost creativity and streamline theme building:

• Element Grouping – Easily organize and manage related elements

• Group-Based Animations – Animate multiple elements together

• Expanded Shader Support – More ways to enhance your themes

These features are already in development and coming soon.

HyperHQ Beta (v2.0.59)

The latest HyperHQ beta is now available:

• Sync Settings – Sync ui updates - more updates to come

• Dropdown UI Fixes – Cleaned up behavior across the board

• Download Safeguard – Prevents accidental overwrites

• Emulator Overrides – Back online and functioning as expected

Please give it a spin and let us know if anything still feels off.

Wrapping Up

We’ve got a few more updates coming out as they’re completed, but we’ll be shifting to a bi-weekly release cycle very soon. That schedule should give us a good rhythm—enough time to focus on bigger features while still staying responsive to your feedback.

As always, huge thanks to everyone building themes, testing builds, and sharing ideas—it’s been awesome seeing the community come alive again, and your input is driving everything we’re doing.

More cool stuff on the way. Stay tuned!
