PowerWash Simulator News

PowerWash Simulator 1.0 is finally here! 🎉

After just over a year in early access, we are so happy to finally bring you the full release of PowerWash Simulator!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The community has been a massive part of this game from the get-go. Whether you're a casual cleaner, a dedicated detailer, or a dirt-artist – the PowerWash Simulator team would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for engaging with us and embracing our game!
As well as all the super-satisfying content already packed into the game, the full release includes:
💼 4 new Career Mode jobs
🚿 1 new nozzle
🛩️ Stunt Plane and Fire Truck Challenges
✨ 3 Pro Washer Skins
🏆 Achievements

Alongside this, various improvements have been made for the ultimate soothing powerwashing experience:

• Fixed numerous potential crashes related to multiplayer with 3+ players transitioning between jobs
  
• Fixed desynchronization issues in multiplayer
  
• Wash data transfer between players reduced
  
• Free Play and Special modes will now only allow a single level in progress and single timelapse to be stored at any single point (This should help with Steam Cloud Syncing issues. Our save files were just too big!)
  
• Load time when launching the app considerable improved
  
• Performance improvements
  
• Controller vibration option added
  
• Japanese font & text updates
  
• Many multiplayer stability improvements
  
• Subtask price and threshold changes on various levels
  
• Balls added to the Minigolf job (par-tee time!)
  
• Urban X colour changes
  
• Many minor UI bug fixes
  

Reset subtasks:
We also really wanted to preserve players save data this time and didn't want to do any auto-complete. However, any levels-in-progress which you are carrying into 1.0 from an Early Access release will have the dirt on partially-completed subtasks reset. This will ensure there are no save clashes and you don't get stuck on an uncleanable object. Sorry for the slight inconvenience!

We have a list of known issues and workarounds for 1.0 here.

We know that powerwashing tycoons like you are always looking to the next big job... Never fear, this is not the end of your powerwashing career! We're not ready to share it all yet but are already working on new content for the game - check out our socials to stay in the loop.

But for now, your powerwashing destiny awaits... ready, set... WASH!💦

If the word "simulator" in PowerWash Simulator puts you off, please don't let it. Where other simulators double down on the minutiae surrounding the thing you're meant to be doing, that they put you off the thing you're meant to be doing, PowerWash Sim understands that you just want to rid surfaces of grime in the most satisfying way possible. You do not need to prize open your powerwasher with a tri-wing screwdriver or manage your finances via a convoluted banking app or determine whether a kitchen sink delivers enough pressure. Instead, you wash things with power: you power wash. You wash, powerfully.

After a year in early access, the game's launching in full with a variety of modes and I cannot stress enough how stress-less the experience is. This is a first-person soother you'll either think is an absolute bore or the best kind of meditative chore.

Hey everyone - welcome to dev log 62!

Last week, we whipped out our magnifying glasses to try and figure out which new jobs are coming with launch! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1290000?emclan=103582791467159006&emgid=3330989990406979955

As for this week...

Jess here, fellow Marketing Gnome at FuturLab!



I have popped on here to give you a behind-the-scenes low-down of our recent IRL washing event that took place on Tuesday – where RTGame, Kiwo & Lolipopgi made some big PWS announcements, gave away some cool prizes and got to grips with power washing. Okay, well maybe that last one is up for interpretation, but two out of three ain't bad!



I boarded a train and headed down to set first thing on Tuesday morning (that gap between the platform edge and the train is so much bigger when you’re a gnome!) Four separate areas had been meticulously curated and arranged by the art team – before being absolutely caked in filth… must be how our devs feel.



RTGame, Kiwo and LolipopGi all arrived looking absolutely dashing – then we popped them into the ultra-glamourous PWS boilersuits 🤭 Powerwashing is mucky business.



I think it is fairly accurate to say that power washing chaos ensued. Throughout the course of the stream, we learned that PowerWash Simulator:

• Is launching July 14th on Xbox platforms; alongside the full release on Steam (that means cross-play, folks!)
  
• Is way more satisfying than real-life Power Washing 😜
  
• Is better for your back!

**No mannequins were harmed during the production of this stream** Oh wait, what am I talking about? They absolutely were. Poor Jerry.





Oh no, I think we broke Kiwo >.<

6 DAYS TO GO!💦

P.S. Just wanted to let you all know that I’ve peeped the achievement list and it’s amazing. I couldn’t possibly reveal any, but let’s just say that some feature my gnomely compatriots.


Must dash, there are wheelbarrows to push…

Until next time!

Thank you to everyone for reading. We hope everyone is enjoying the new content and these insights! :)

Hey everyone - welcome to dev log 61!

Last week Sofia our Lead QA talked about their processes testing PowerWash Simulator; more on that here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1290000/view/5967847045493831547

Today, we put on our sleuthing hats. (Everyone has those, right?) And call out to our inner Sherlock Gnomes! What is this new job coming at launch?




Guess that job! Seriously what is it? This level will come alongside several other jobs, including the biggest yet. From these pictures, can you deduce what it is going to be? Put your best and worst guesses in the replies below!



Before guessing, why not take a break at a cafe?



Maybe this will give your speculations a lift?



Oh, we've hit a wall now!



Oh, barnacles, have we lost you?



Maybe we can hatch a few more ideas with you?



Well, what even is that?

There you have it, folks. It is now time to guess away. Have we made it too easy, hard, or just right this time? Let the spicy speculations flow! :)



We wanted to get out a hotfix with achievements earlier this week. Unfortunately, our two producers have been off ill with that virus everyone has been getting the past two years. They are the ones who organise the development, and we are still trying to get something together to go out ASAP, but we'll keep everyone updated if this will/won't happen and when.



It's 2 weeks until the full launch of PowerWash Simulator. In the lead-up to start building hype, next week at 1 PM BST on Twitch, we'll be revealing prizes on a live stream with real-life power washers! We'll update everyone on where to watch this closer to the event!



Each week we release a PowerWash version of a popular meme format. This week we didn't have one of our own, but here's something from Discord user Dozer:
