We're here with another member of the FuturLab team to get to know them a little more.
Today we have Eilidh (pronounced Ayy-Lay), a Junior 3D Artist!
Could you tell us a bit about yourself and your role at FuturLab?
I'm Eilidh, a Junior 3D artist located in Scotland! I actually played a lot of PowerWash before I started working here, so it's genuinely so fun now being behind the scenes and helping bring that joy to other people. I'm big on cosy games, and I know a lot of people are the same! Most of my evenings are spent curled up with my cats and winding down with a relaxing game.
Which part of the Alice’s Adventures pack did you have the most input on?
Eilidh: I worked on the Caterpillar House, and although it had it's challenges it was great fun. A lot of PowerWash levels are very structured and harmonic from an art perspective, with Alice we went in the complete other direction being told to ramp up the 'wonk' factor on absolutely everything to really get that psychedelic Alice aesthetic. It's such a colourful pack, and it was good fun breaking some of our rules to make some really crazy stuff!

What would you say is the most enjoyable part of your job?
Eilidh: Working alongside my wonderful team! I have never worked somewhere where everyone is always so lovely, supportive, and encouraging. It really feels like you're working alongside friends every step of the way, and you know if you need a bit of help that so many hands will reach out to you. It's also fantastic seeing all of the amazing work everyone outputs here, it's very motivational to keep improving my own artistic abilities through watching everyone.
Is there a particular part of your job (that you can talk about) that you’ve been really proud of?
Eilidh: I think I'm proud of the fact that I am helping to create these lovely, calming spaces that brings so much joy to other people. Sometimes I like to scroll through places like Reddit or Steam reviews and read others experiences with the game. Seeing how much it helps people’s mental health, their wellbeing and just how much the game helps them relax genuinely makes me feel so fulfilled. It makes me so happy our little game is helping so many other people, and I am incredibly proud to be part of it.
Do you have a favourite level in PowerWash Sim?
Eilidh: I think my favourite is the playground, I'm definitely in the 'love flat surface cleaning' camp, and it's just so satisfying revealing all the colours on the playground floor. It's probably the level I went back to the most.

Is there anything you’re currently playing/watching/reading?
Eilidh: I'm currently getting my butt kicked in Elden Ring again, guilty pleasure, as the new DLC is out and I'm pretty rusty! I'm also rereading my favourite book, which is The Priory of the Orange tree.
If you could give a new player one piece of advice for playing PowerWash Sim, what would it be?
Eilidh: Take it slow. I think a lot of gamers go into new games with that 'I must complete this as fast as I can' mentality, when a lot of the joy is just leisurely making your way through the levels. Try out different nozzles or draw some silly doodles! Walk, don't run to that shiny sparkling finishing line and just have fun.
An important question, do you have a favourite nozzle?
Eilidh: Absolutely on team yellow nozzle, it's the best all-rounder.
If you could have a dream IP added to PowerWash Simulator, what would it be?
Eilidh: Ahh this is such a hard question! I have so many I would like; but if I had to decide I think it would be Fallout. I'd love to scrub down a vault or shine up some Power Armor.
That's the end of this dev log! We hope you've enjoyed getting to know Eilidh. We'll be back with more of the team soon ????
