Thank You for the Feedback
Your posts on the discussion board, comments, and bug reports were incredibly helpful.
During the demo release and throughout Steam Next Fest I tried to fix problems as quickly as possible whenever they appeared. Until players got their hands on the demo, I honestly had no idea how many things were broken or needed improvement.
Working on this project solo and mostly during nights in my free time makes it difficult to catch every issue beforehand. Your feedback helped reveal problems I would never have discovered on my own.
So seriously — thank you for helping make the game better.
Steam Next Fest Numbers
Here are some stats from the event:
1,294 Total Players
139 Played & Wishlisted
877 Total Gained Wishlists
Not going to lie — I was hoping for higher wishlist gains during Next Fest.
But considering the technical issues and rough edges the demo had, I’m honestly really happy that the results are still positive in many ways.
Here are some fun numbers from the demo:
Rugs cleaned: 7,026 ːsteamhappyː
Perfect cleans: 21
Good cleans: 5,923
Poor cleans: 806
Clients served: 7,093
Money earned: 47,172
Honestly… these numbers are beyond my imagination.
Over 7,000 rugs cleaned since the demo launched.
That’s something I never expected to see.
The Community (Biggest Surprise)
The biggest outcome for me wasn’t the numbers — it was the community.
Before Next Fest I had no idea if anyone would care about the game.
But even with the demo’s problems, there were players who were extremely engaged:
posting bug reports on the discussion board
sharing ideas and suggestions
competing on the leaderboards
returning to play more
Yes, I'm talking about you. 🙂
Seeing that kind of engagement is incredibly motivating and made me realize that building a community around the game is something I want to focus on much more.
Discord server
Because of that, I’m opening a Discord server for the game.
If you want to:
share ideas
report issues
discuss updates
help shape the game
please join here:
I’d love to be closer to players and develop the game together with the community.
What's Next?
For now, I’m closing the demo temporarily.
I want to focus on improvements based on all the feedback and continue optimizing the game.
Before the full release, I will most likely release a Demo V2 with major improvements.
Planned Fixes & Improvements
Here are some things already on my list:
Gameplay
Fully skippable rug replay after cleaning (with option to disable permanently)
Endless mode without the shop closing at 6PM (manual end of day)
Free control of the cleaning tool instead of fixed cleaning screen
Improved locomotion and control system
Adjustable motion blur and sensitivity
Visual Improvements
Better cleaning VFX (water, foam, dirt, dirty water, etc.)
Clearer visual difference between wet and dry rugs
Rugs behaving more like fabric instead of rigid surfaces
Bug Fixes
Cleaning showing 99% instead of 100%
UI buttons not always working (dice button, sliders, etc.)
Shop door collision improvements
Interaction with clients sometimes failing
Rare camera bug when continuing cleaning next day
Rugs clipping into walls or disappearing
Performance
Fix freezing and lag when starting the game for the first time
Additional optimization to support more PCs and devices
Quality of Life
Accessibility settings tab
Wider office space
Scrubber effect width redesign
Full Game
The full game will also expand with new content:
More rug shapes and types
More unique clients (aiming to avoid duplicate NPCs)
Multiple leagues with progression
Better tools and more demanding clients
Random items hidden in rugs (money, trash, branches, etc.)
