[2023] SCUM - Development update #68

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Hello everyone! Happy Monday again. Time for another dev update and this one with an extra twist. A couple of us went over to Reboot Infogamer to represent Gamepires, meet some of you and see who would like to join our team. So let us recap!


We have once again joined the biggest Video game con in our little corner of the world. After 4 years of hiatus it was great to see and meet all of you that have visited us at out booth!





As you can see we also came with a purpose as the game continues to grow, so do wee and we have met quite a few lovely candidates to join our team as well! It was also a blast to all of you that were there and won a shirt through either brains or brawn. If you are wondering how much a SCUM t-shirt is worth, it is 50 pushups! So start pumping to win one next year!

Our Andrej, or as many of you know him as LevaOpaki was also invited to speak about our experiences on a panel but he still regained his spirit even though on stage.





We even had a huge giveaway on stage where you could win all of the SCUM goodies. From t-shirts, bags, notebooks even SCUM keys. Whoever got them hope you enjoy them! And at the end, for those super fans that have knowledge of the game we even held a short quiz where you could win the mythical legendary SCUM jacket!



And in the end it was also great to see all of our colleagues from all corners that have joined us as well, and hang around with some Scumovaca. If you know, you know.
