I Wanna Maker is out of Early Access! (v1.0)
I Wanna Maker has reached v1.0 and is out of Early Access! Woo!
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.
Changelog:
Campaign mode with several worlds
Steam achievements which unlock new player cosmetics
New Particle Emitter object
Many new prop objects
Object layers - sort most objects between 5 depth layers
Object color blending - choose a color tint on many objects
New shootable parameter on Walkers and Crushers
Platform sprite variations
Add "Next unused trigger number" option
Add some new level visuals
Add some new songs
Featured levels view
Online Lobby Players view
Reset Early Access challenges and leaderboards, added separate Early Access leaderboard
Add controller joystick controls on menus
Allow saving uploaded levels locally if you're the creator
Some UI updates
Misc bug fixes
Please note that updated Chinese translations are still being worked on and will likely be available in the coming days!

Multiple Room Update v0.90 out now!
Hey all,
We're excited to bring you a very special feature update!
This time around we're adding multiple unique rooms per level! This allows makers to add up to 15 rooms to a level, and connect them together with room warps. This should greatly open up the limits of what's possible to put into a single level! You can access rooms at the bottom of the Level Info tab.
To go with the rooms feature, we're also adding a new Keycard object, which is a collectible that persists between saves. This should make it easier to save progress/state between different rooms.
This update also adds persistent saves when playing levels, which gives the ability to leave a level and come back at any time to continue your progress. No need to worry about losing progress from leaving a long or challenging level! This works for both challenges and normal online levels. Note that speedrun times won't be shared if you resume a persistent save, though.
Hope you all enjoy the update, and we're excited to see what levels you all make with multiple rooms!
- The Elephant Crew
Changelog:
Multiple unique rooms per level
Persistent level saves - when you leave a level and come back, it loads your previous save
New keycard object - collectible that persists when you save (includes an event for grabbing)
Add copy/pasting objects to the clipboard with ctrl+c/v
Add a few new level visuals
Add a few new songs
Misc bug fixes
I Wanna Maker v0.82
Changelog:
Add 100% record tracking
Count 100% records for users' total record count (if you have both any% and 100% record on a level, it only counts as 1)
Add 100% record button and 100% personal record buttons to browse list
