Hello, cleaners! 🧹

We’re back with a fresh update full of improvements, new content, and quality-of-life changes. Here’s what’s new:

🌍 3 New Maps Added!
Take on exciting new cleaning contracts in three fresh locations. More grime, more glory! 🏚✨

💦 Pressure Washer Improvements
We’ve fine-tuned the pressure washing system for smoother, more satisfying cleaning. Say goodbye to stubborn stains!

🚀 Map Optimizations & Bug Fixes
Several existing levels have been optimized and minor bugs have been squashed for a cleaner experience overall.

🖥 UI Enhancements
We’ve polished up the interface and added a new Before/After Skip Button—because sometimes you just want to get to the action!

📝 Language Fixes
Localization has been improved for a more accurate and immersive experience.

Thank you for playing and continuing to support us! More updates are in the works—until then, happy cleaning! 🧼

This patch is somewhat of a follow-up to the last one in that it fixes more places where Windows could have issues with long file paths.

Along with that, there are a few little tweaks:

• We've widened the summon players button so it looks better

• We added better error logs to help us track down a specific dice bug

It's back to the forges with us now, so until next time, happy adventuring.

We started with just three: Alleine, Signus, and Vestaxe held up the sky for years. They were amazing through the unveiling of Stars Reach, two Discord migrations, and the launch of player testing. When interest in the tests started growing, we worked together to recruit X more moderators.

Fast forward to today, and we have Alleine, Lemonous, Leric Dax, Paxus Paine, Signus, Vecta, Vestaxe, and Will! This is great. The Discords are hopping and we are there. For Twitch streams, we have moderators and even game play feeds on hand. Sometimes the mods even jump in to help on stream in additional ways. We have playtests ~4 times per week, and the mods are a huge resource for these as well.

But the day is coming soon when we aren’t running 4 playtests per week – when the servers are up and running nearly 24/7. And we don’t have enough moderators to even pretend to cover our needs. In fact, we currently have gaps in our late Pacific/early Asian time zone coverage.

So we are opening recruitment for more moderators. If you are interested in joining the team, please send an email to community@playableworlds.com and introduce yourself. Tell us about your interest, your relevant experience if any, and anything else you think we’d find interesting.

We are glad to announce, that we have published closed 0.0.5 version available for testers. It is already available to download. Thanks to everyone who started the testing process! 5 more players have applied for pre-demo testing, and 4 of them were allowed to proceed. For now we close the applying process and will not proceed anymore, thanks for participating in the test!

0.0.5 Version, what is new:

• New location to explore.
  
• Added 2 new mobs to fight with.
  
• Added "Stamina", Running and Evading system.
  
• Improvements of starting location
  
• Improvements in mobs AI
  
• Added nature generation
  
  
• Fixed a bug with player illegal position
  
• Fixed a bug with player being stuck in standalone objects
  
• Fixed a bug when enemies could spawn in illegal positions
  
• Fixed a bug when saving could crash a save file
  
• Fixed a bug when pausing the game would not stop the enemies
  
• Fixed a bug with player being immortal in rare scenarios after dying
  
• Fixed a bug when player could water-walk in rare scenarios
  
• Fixed a bug when enemies could insta-kill the player
  
• Fixed a bug when enemies could ignore walls and pass through
  
• Some small non-notable improvements

I ended up realizing the sequel—and I promise the sequel to this game is innovative in movement and ends up working with more original ideas—but development has been suspended because I had to sell my PC.

So what? Here's how I see it. I need to find work before I can begin development again.

So this post is to tell you I am looking for a job in the US. In the case that you are in a position to offer me a tech job, email planetrenox@protonmail.com and I will show you my resume.
