Hello Washers! 💦 At FuturLab we’re always trying to implement more ways to make PowerWash Simulator more accessible to everyone. An example of this is our Aim Mode feature, which has been shown to help with the effects of motion sickness, which you can read more of here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1290000/view/3139577498471389979?l=english Today we’d like to show you more about an upcoming change to the dirt highlight! This will be included in our next update and will change the highlighting in two ways Firstly, you’ll be able to switch between [b]7 colours[/b]: [list] [*] Orange (Default) [*] Red [*] Green [*] Blue [*] Yellow [*] Pink [*] White [/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37637598/3d2ce192af8628adabe6f1676d4028b3575aa8a5.gif[/img][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37637598/430e4151f04ba267c4827c481da8dbc3eb553ed2.gif[/img] The second change will be the duration of the highlight. This will have a sliding scale from 0.9 seconds up to 5 seconds long, which should decrease the need to spam that highlight button [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37637598/d76f196b4e39d92b546da741dc745c20d3ceb46a.gif[/img] Will, FuturLab Multiplayer Programmer, had a lot of input in prototyping these changes. He says a couple of his reasons for working on this were "the community requests and seeing content creators struggle to find some dirt due to the colours. The second was because playing games with people that have some form of colour vision deficiency made me realise how easy it is to be a barrier to some things in games." These changes will only affect the highlight colour, the pulsing when picking a subtask in the tablet menu will remain the same as it has been. We’ll have more news soon on when this will be coming to PowerWash Simulator, along with our Shrek Special Pack, but you won’t have to wait too long! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2983890/PowerWash_Simulator__Shrek_Special_Pack/ We also have an updated roadmap for you all, more news on our seasonal specials coming in the not too distant future!
