New Gloves & Motion Sickness Survey - Dev Log 43
Hey everyone - welcome to dev log 43!
This week we'll take a look at more ways to make your character look stylish, we're asking for your feedback on motion sickness, and we have some of the developer's insights into the new level!
In last week's installment, we revealed the spectacularly dirty Subway level coming in Update 0.8 as one of the four new career jobs! Full dev log 42 here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1290000/view/4469261572756164576
Battling motion sickness that some players experience in the game is one of our top priorities! Whilst it is a minority of players, it can have effects that block people from playing at all.
We have opened a feedback form with a short series of questions to better understand the issue and help us improve the game. This will hopefully help us better understand the causes, what is working/isn't, and what other features we could add.
The form is here, thank you so much for any of your answers.
Please do not fill this form out if you have not experienced motion sickness in the game.
Last week the developers were all extremely busy on a project and didn't have time to give some of their unique insights into their process. Don't worry, we have some this week! :D
Designer Nick:
Artist Laura:
Again, we're excited for everyone to tackle the biggest and dirtiest job yet!
We had a bunch of player model colors but the marigold style yellow gloves have been the only default color of hand cosmetics so far. In 0.8 we are bringing all of the player model colorations to the default gloves.
You can see all of these here:
Look fly in multiplayer and in-game whilst washing!
There's also a pro skin coming next update but we'll be teasing that next week!
We release a blank meme format for people to create their own memes on. These are created by our marketing artist Cristina and are based on popular memes with our player models.
This week's template is 'Washer's Plan,' feel free to use/caption this or edit as you'd like!

As always, these drop every Monday on Twitter at 2 PM GMT! (We also share them early in Discord)
[h2]That's all folks![/h2]
Thanks so much for tuning in this week! We'll have more exciting teasers, and insights next time. So don't miss it!

Dev Insight Into Subway
Last week the developers were all extremely busy on a project and didn't have time to give some of their unique insights into their process. Don't worry, we have some this week! :D
Designer Nick:
Originally posted by Nick
The Subway Platform is a wonderfully mucky cavern of filth, untouched since the 1980s. The advertising boards, clocks, platform screens, tiling and more were all designed with the 80s in-mind. We really wanted players to feel as though they were the first to enter this place since its closure (besides some wayward graffiti artists perhaps).
One of the main design consideration of this level was to provide players with an expansive space to conduct long, straight, satisfying cleaning motions along large, flat surfaces. The platform has many artistic details to discover and has been split into specific sections so players can experience a series of dings as they glide across its surfaces with their washer. Of course this space is not without its nooks and crannies but for the most part it is a collection of flat surfaces to methodically clear with power and precision.
The dirt design is that of 40 years of neglect and abandonment with grime, stains, moss, lichen and graffiti abound. But beneath lies a pristine time-capsule of the Muckingham Central Subway Station in all its glory. All it needs is a highly skilled powerwasher to turn back the clock.
