PowerWash Simulator: A Deep and Dirty Tech Dive
The global hit PowerWash Simulator is an unusual concept that brought many unusual technical challenges. From its Dirt Pipeline that allows rich level editing whilst adhering to strict technical requirements, to very data-intensive save logic and multiplayer, many bespoke solutions had to be built to support its development.
Its immediate success on Early Access, and later on all last and current-gen consoles, pushed the boundaries further: with more and larger levels running on more platforms, other highly scalable solutions were needed to ensure a productive content pipeline (asset management, CI/CD, content validations, DLCs) and gameplay experience (multiplayer, runtime performance).
This talk will cover many dirty – and clean! – tricks pulled in Unity and C# to bring the game to life.
Session Takeaway
- Approaches on managing asset-heavy Unity multiplatform projects
- Overview of a high-performance save data system in Unity
- A flexible custom build pipeline in Unity
