Common questions

Does I Wanna Maker run on Mac?

I Wanna Maker is graded playable on Apple Silicon through Pixel Port's runtime. Its current grade is playable for Apple Silicon Macs. I Wanna Maker is built on Other, and Pixel Port's runtime translates its rendering to Metal automatically. It is not enabled in the beta yet, so request it in the app or join the Pixel Port Discord before trying to install it.

Do I need to own I Wanna Maker on Steam?

Yes. Pixel Port does not sell, host, or distribute games. I Wanna Maker downloads through Steam, to your own Steam account, exactly as it would on a PC — you need to own it there first. Pixel Port is the compatibility layer that runs the Windows build Steam delivers.
