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.

Hey all, we unfortunately have decided to delay I Wanna Maker coming out of Early Access again. It'll now be coming out on November 10th (a 2 week delay).
We're really close to the finish line, and we decided to take some extra time so that we can give the content the polish it deserves, and make the official launch as good as it deserves to be. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

We couldn't quite get the game to the point we wanted by the initially planned date, and we decided to take our time to deliver the best result we can. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Meanwhile, here are a few clips of what we've been working on. We're looking forward to releasing this update!

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!

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)

Hey All!
It's the 3rd anniversary of I Wanna Maker!
This time around, we're adding some frequently requested features and objects! Gems give the ability to add optional challenges to a level, with 100% clear markers and replays. Text signs make it much easier to talk directly to the player and explain mechanics. Stasis fields slow the player down when they're falling, increasing the possibilities for precise movements. Those are just some highlights, check out the full changelog below.
Thanks for playing and enjoying the game!

Hey All!
It's already the 2nd anniversary for the early access release of I Wanna Maker!
To celebrate, we're adding a few new objects: The Burst Block allows for some explosive new puzzles and contraptions with explosion chaining. The Jump Phantom gives creators a new obstacle which refreshes the player's double jump when shot. And the Target shows a clear indicator for the player to shoot to activate a trigger, useful for levels and bosses alike. We're also finally adding support for another language with the Japanese translation (thanks to contributor Slack!).
Thanks to everyone who's been playing the game for the past couple years!

Hey all,
Back with another update. This time we're adding a new online feature called level lobbies!
Basically, whenever you are playing a level, you can see and chat with people who are playing the same level at the same time. You can try meeting up with your friends, or maybe just run into random people as you play.
In the future, we plan on expanding this with more online modes including private lobbies and race modes.
Changelog: Add 4 new backgrounds from the 2021 visuals contest Add ability to copy only events or only params when using the paint roller tool Add "Low jump cancels in upload mode" setting to prevent accidentally low jump canceling during upload Fix crash when deselecting objects

Hey all,
We're back with another feature update!
This time we're adding some experimental random events to spice up your levels. We're seeing how this feature impacts level design in the game, and these events may be heavily modified or removed in the future depending on how testing goes. Furthermore, levels that are completely random whether you can clear the level or not will be manually reviewed and removed from challenges. This doesn't include levels where you are able to clear the level every attempt.
Additionally, we're adding 4 new tilesets and 4 new spikes from the 2021 visuals contest, and adding the ability to use 2 different types of spikes per level. These new visuals are only a portion of the total that won in the visuals contest. We will be adding more soon as we tweak and touch them up.
Hope you all enjoy it. Until the next update!
Changelog:
Add 4 new tilesets and 4 new spikes from the 2021 visuals contest
Add the option to use 2 different spikes per level
Add experimental random events: Set Random Speed, Set Random Angle, and Fire Random Slot
