Wallpaper Engine is an application for Windows with a companion app on Android [3] which allows users to use and create animated and interactive wallpapers , similar to the defunct Windows DreamScene . Wallpapers are shared through the Steam Workshop functionality as user-created downloadable content . It features its own rendering engine and provides a wallpaper editor, allowing for the creation of 2D and 3D wallpapers, including a particle system editor and a fork of JavaScript called SceneScript for additional wallpaper logic. It also supports using video files, audio files, webpages and some 3D applications as wallpapers. [4]

History [ edit ]

A proposal outlining the general idea of the software was added to Steam Greenlight in December 2015. [1] The application was subsequently released as a paid product on Steam in October 2016 as an early access title. After three years of development, the software left its early access stage in November 2018. [5] In August 2019, Wallpaper Engine was announced to be one of the release titles for Steam China . [6]

In late November of 2021, the team released version 2.0 of Wallpaper Engine. This update brought a new logo, a large set of additional features, support for Windows 11 , and a free android release that interfaces with the desktop version. [7]

Despite not being a game, Wallpaper Engine is one of the most used apps of Steam, being located in Steam's Top 25 played games in July 2019 [8] and Top 10 played games in November 2021. [9] Users in China use it to share pornographic videos . [10]
