With this v1.0 update, we've added a hand-crafted campaign mode with several worlds, Steam achievements which also unlock new player cosmetics, new options to visually enhance levels, and more!
I Wanna Maker first started development at the end of 2016. We entered Early Access in February 2020. After 7 years of development, and over 240,000 levels made by players during Early Access, we're happy to officially release v1.0! Thank you to everyone who's been with us for a while, and hello to new players!
Post-release Plans
We decided to leave Early Access because we’ve implemented all the main features that were planned when the game was initially released. We will continue to work on the game after release, but the development will likely be slower. We’ll still be looking at adding highly requested features, fixes, etc.
