MakeKing finally released it's Electric Update, version 0.9 on Steam! Use electric components to make the best puzzle levels or the hardest trolls!
In this first Steam release, MakerKing only comes with minimal Steam integration (microtransactions because non Steam microtransactions are not legal). But we do plan on adding all other necessary integration, such as Achievements, Rich presence and Steam account linking. This will come quite soon, so stay tuned! If you have any questions, feel free to join our discord!
This means that for now you will need to register a new regular MakerKing account. This is quite simple however, just pick a username and password and click on the Register button. Enjoy!
