Hey there SCUM community - it's that time of the week again(+1)! Here's a new dev update for your reading pleasure!


The programming team is working on a wide variety of features and tasks. They are working on everything from weapon malfunctions, armband and headlamp items, turrets, quests...and I even heard the sound of a familiar female AI assistant voice somewhere from their room. Apart from that, the team was also researching some of the level-of-detail discrepancies in the game and has been optimizing the rendering of the map. Last, but definitely not least, the team was also working on the base building ladder connecting and on additional anticheat functionalities.



Our level designers are still at it with some of the already mentio... Read more

Hey hey everyone, happy Tuesday! Hope you are all good! Let's get this week on the road with a dev update!


You got a lot of news last week with the progress of the programming team, and mostly it continues on in this update as well. Work continues on quests and armed NPCs.

With the support of the animation team done, work has finally started on reintroduction of weapon malfunction. Will keep you posted on the progress.



Level design working hard on those optimizations and map reworks. Including sorting textures, replacing old assets, and touching up on POIS including airport, castle, etc.

Salutations, SCUM community! Hope everyone is easing into the week nicely! Here's this week's dev update for your reading pleasure!


We understand that the past few weeks have been a bit dry in this section, as the team has been mostly focused on bug fixing. However, this week we have a lot more to share, and we can go into greater detail about what our programmers are doing. First off, work has continued on the much-anticipated quest system and the content related to it, as well as on the armed enemy NPCs that will make your survival on the prison island even more challenging!

Next, the team has (re)started work on the armband, as well as the turret you'll be able to place on your base! Remember that dead speedometer needle on the ATV? That's being taken care of too. The way small vegetation reacts to the wind is also being greatly improved, making the m... Read more

Summer is slowly coming to a close, but what isn't slowing down is the work on our game. Here's a fresh new dev blog for your reading pleasure!


The vast majority of our programmers are still hammering away at all those bugs, with the exception of a few who are continuing their work on the armed NPCs.



Our level designers are sprucing up existing POIs and other parts of the map. Over the last week, the team has been optimizing the nuclear power plant, and they've continued their work on the castle ruins and walls. Work has also started on reworking the airport hangar, the military hangar, and the prison located in sector C2.

Hope you've had a blast driving around in your favorite four-wheeled machine and setting up the dream home you'll never have IRL because of real estate prices. Regardless, there's no rest for the wicked—behold this week's dev update!
We'll kick things off with a reminder about the decennial BTS video featuring our dynamic marketing duo/Italian plumber impersonators Matija and Dario. It's an entertaining watch, so it doesn't hurt to check the video out.



However, we know you're not here because our guys are contenders for Mr. Congeniality. Here's a quick look at what the team has been up to over the past week:

Hello, SCUM community!

Hope we didn't get you worried as we were a bit silent for the last couple of days. While some of us are baking in the hot sun and getting those tan lines from swimming shorts, some of us have stayed in the office to make sure that all office equipment is still in place.

Jokes aside - we're bringing you something new that's a bit different from what we've usually done. We want to take a moment to highlight the great contributions our community has done for the overall SCUM experience. While the entire SCUM community is awesome in itself, we'd like to showcase the individuals that really outdid themselves and created tools and features that are now almost ubiquitous to players, server owners and even devs alike.

Here's a short overview of some of the projects:
