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, web-pages and some 3D applications as wallpapers.[4]

History[]

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]
