Poof! Cleaning Services News

[p]Dear Cleaners!

Today we have something special for you! Another round of playtests has just started, but this time we have a whole new room for you to play and (hopefully) share your feedback :)

We've also reworked the UI a little bit and added saving/loading to the game. On top of that, we've made some changes to the inspect mechanic, along with many other small tweaks and fixes.

We wish you a pleasant playthrough, and if you have any questions, we’ll be happy to answer them :)[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Our Discrod server: https://discord.gg/ZphRQxBeNT[/p]

[p]This round is an important one, as it covers all the changes we've made over the past month - mainly some big efforts to burn down the tech debt from the prototyping stage. 🔥 We basically reworked the entire technical backend of the game! 🛠️[/p][p][/p][p]You can head to the game's Steam page and check it out right now :)[/p][p][/p][p]Here’s a list of the main changes: [/p]

• [p]Complete rework of the interaction system - mainly picking up, placing, movement, collision handling, and stacking of objects (+toggle snap (Space), +quest handling rework, +trashbox/savebox changes);[/p]
• [p]Object context switching (at the moment mostly wall objects - wall placement);[/p]
• [p]Tasks UI rework: hide finished tasks, but still show their "stars";[/p]
• [p]Conversation history (aka dialogue log);[/p]
• [p]Ability to interact while moving objects (e.g. opening drawers etc.);[/p]
• [p]Options panel rework (new options available) + options now also in the main menu;[/p]
• [p]Cursor icon rework (more precise cursors – mocap but fair);[/p]
• [p]MMB camera movement restored.[/p]

[p]I'm super interested to hear what you think![/p][p]We prepared a survey for you (as always!), but you can also share your thoughts on Discord.[/p][p][/p][p]We are also around to help or explain everything 💛[/p]

[p]We spent the last two weeks completely reworking our input system. This was something we pinpointed after analyzing your feedback from the demo survey - for which we're super grateful!

The input system now works with both mouse/keyboard and gamepad devices (which also means SteamDeck compatibility). We implemented a virtual mouse for gamepads, along with many quality-of-life features like arrow/WSAD camera movement, edge scrolling, and many others.[/p][p][/p][p]All these changes are now available to test via Steam Playtest.[/p][p]Any feedback is much appreciated! 💛[/p]

[p]First of all, we’d like to welcome all the new members of our community
