- Criticism of the idealization and gamification of an exhausting profession
- Criticism of political system: denunciation of illegal and immoral acts committed by certain political figures (particularly in France); inflation and difficulties in sustaining a decent living
Student project produced between November and December 2024, as part of Claire Siegel’s « Expressive gameplay » course (Licence Professionnelle – Métiers du jeu vidéo).
Hours of work: Around 100h (brainstorming, iteration, design, dialogue, development, animation, game design document etc…)
Engine: Unreal Engine 5
The goal of this game was to hijack the game PowerWash Simulator.
As part of this project, we produced Sous Pression game design document accompanied with a critical analysis of PowerWash Simulator.
Passionate about this project, we decided to keep working on it!
Take a look at the additions and modifications we are currently working on (we will update the list by crossing out the various entries):
- Add a counter to display how much remains to be cleaned
- Rework the politicians 3D model(costumes and distinctive elements)
- Rewrite the narrative for better balance
- Add subtitles instead of dialogue
- Add more SFX (sighs, groans, coughs, etc.)
- Improve the UI
- Improve the tutorial
- Smooth camera and movement
- Resize the map
- Debug and improve the AI
