Future of Drag'n Wash

The developer named Steam Workshop support as the first development priority and said larger content plans would follow it.

What changed

Workshop support is a development priority, not a released feature.
The team wants to make the game easier to mod.
Further content was promised only in broad terms; no date, character, mode or feature list was announced.

What it means for players

Do not treat custom dragons, Job Mode, a gallery or a particular new scene as confirmed. Check the live announcement feed before planning around a community wish list.

PLATFORMS

Steam Deck Verified

Valve marked Drag'n Wash Steam Deck Verified after work on the native Linux build.

What changed

Official Verified status applies to the Steam version reviewed by Valve.
The announcement specifically credits work on the native Linux build.
Verification does not guarantee that every community mod or external installer is Deck-compatible.

What it means for players

Base-game buyers can use the official Deck status when deciding where to play. Mod users should still follow each project's Deck/Linux instructions.

Kobold Hotfix

The first major post-launch hotfix added recovery and comfort options while fixing character, input, Linux, Deck and scene-progression problems.

What changed

Added Sprayer Reduce Motion, Invert Look Y and an Unstick Kobold menu action.
Fixed Conrad level 8 interaction-order and window softlocks, plus a level 14 texture swap.
Fixed a medkit-between-levels softlock and turning locks while using the sponge or hand.
Fixed native Linux graphics on Nvidia GPUs and Steam Deck touchscreen spinning.
Preloaded shaders at boot to reduce first-seen hitching; the main menu may therefore take longer to appear.
Corrected Ryan picnic edge cases, rare already-clean arrivals, expressions, clipping and other presentation issues.

What it means for players

Update before following an old workaround. Use Unstick only for an actual movement or interaction lock; a full-looking clean bar may still require another task.

Reading the timeline

A patch entry describes what shipped and how it changes the way you should play or troubleshoot. Requested modes and community projects stay on their own pages until a later announcement confirms they are part of the game.
