SCUM - Development update #131

May 12

Hello everyone! We hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for an update on how things are developing on our end. Let's see how many times you need to read "bug fixing" before it starts to sound weird in your own head ->

Our code wizards have continued with their efforts with being laser-focused on bug fixing, but some hocus pocus in terms of coding is still in order. Besides the usual, they have also made some progress with implementing new anti-cheat capabilities and lightsource meshes. Hitches related to vehicle loading have also been fixed.

Bug fixing, then some bug fixing, followed by more bug fixing.

The animation team has continued with last weeks tasks, one of them was bug fixing.

The Hard surface guys have been pretty busy with a variety of things, bug fixing not being one of them. They have made some adjustments to the Rager's front window armor and improvements overall to the Rager's attachments. Work on the vehicles collisions physics has resumed.

The soft surface team and the 2D guys have continued with testing and bug fixing.

The sound team has carried on with their work on NPC voiceovers and bug fixing, of course.

Who do you think is finding and reporting all those Bugs in need of fixing, eh?

Aside from the usual bug fixing, the game design team has also made some adjustments to DEENA's Task, making sure that greenhorns don't die before even setting foot on the island

On to the next segment, let’s hear some of your impressions from last week:

Hell yes, the new anti-cheat will be implemented before 1.0 and hell no, we will not let cheaters bleed into the new release.

It'd actually be quite difficult to implement such a feature on a technical level due to the sheer amount of variations when it comes weapons and according parts. Add to that the fact that this would be for a command, that is used in quite specific situations and not as commonly and you have your answer.
Regarding your suggestion with magazines, you are already able to spawn those fully loaded if you press space and enter ammo count followed by the wanted amount into the command.

Since we've shifted our focus toward the 1.0 version of the game, there's no turning back, really. If we were to release another update somewhere in between, it'd would mean that we'd have to develop a "0.99 version" alongside the 1.0 Version of SCUM which is impossible to pull off with the manpower we have and simply inefficient.

No, unfortunately there will be no official mod support with the full release, but you will be able to privately host servers and tweak the server settings however you like.

Yo, we bought a horse.

That’s all folks, see you next week and make sure to keep an eye on the following platforms:

События

Будут ли в игре ещё случайные события какие-нибудь по типу нападения монстров из бункера на построенную базу или чтобы их по ночам было можно встретить? Так было бы интереснее намного, мир не будет ощущаться мертвым...

Attention prisoners! It's time for this weeks crème de la crème of screenshots, videos and moments you guys came up with. So let’s dive in and see what your fellow prisoners have been cooking up — and no, we don’t mean human steaks… hopefully.->

This is Aljoša. All the other fish are scared of him. Aljoša has commited many atrocities in the name of his people. And as he gets better at it, they fear him more and more. He is a victim of his own success. Sometimes he is so lonely he could cry, but what's the point? Not a single person would care.

Onto the next segment, dear convicts. Let's take a look what our drone managed to capture during your exotic ->

Guts, gore and glory. 9 teams, winner takes it all. Our boy Dr grant compiled the first week of SCUM Survival Showdown neatly into 30 minutes of pure insanity. You can see how the matches went down form each streamers perspective

Forget the 100 men vs 1 gorilla debate, LOONEY offered us an answer to a much more intriguing question: Who wins, 100 Germans with spears or 1 mech? I'll give you a little hint, Ze solutions are PG.

Last but not least, we have John _ Dominator with another story-time-esque video and he absolutely crushes it. There are some genuinely funny moments in here, but the story itself and the way it's presented is really it's strong suit. makes sure to give it a glance!

That's it for this weeks transmission.

SCUM - Development update #130

May 6

Attention prisoners! Since we're ever so kind, we'd like to make your Tuesday a little less miserable with this new dev update!

The programming team has dedicated extensive and almost exclusive efforts to bug fixing over the past week. We know this might not feel like a lot to share, and we've seen some frustration about that, but given the current phase of development, it's crucial to ensure the game runs as smoothly as possible and has as few bugs as possible. This focus naturally results in an “all hands on deck” approach toward bug fixing.

The same applies to the level designers, who are also focused on cleaning up old and new bugs on the map. We understand when people question the point of posting these updates if there’s nothing new to add. Regardless, the point is to reiterate each week that the team is indeed working hard on the game and to reinforce our commitment to delivering the game within this quarter!

The animators are working on new cinematics and are also heavily focused on bug fixing.

The hard surface team has been improving the materials for the raft and refining the physics on the vehicles. They’re also creating a new mesh and textures for the tractor tires.

The soft surface team, along with the 2D team, has been focused on testing and bug fixing the UI.

Our sound team has been focused on bug fixing, NPC voiceovers, a new unconsciousness soundscape, and other sounds for specific actions.

As always, nothing new to report here.

The game design team is also focused mostly on bug fixing. Not much else to add here.

___

Let's move on to the next segment — let’s hear some of your questions, concerns, and suggestions from last week:

We're preparing a lot in that regard, so make sure to stay tuned. You’ll see more very soon — prior to the release of 1.0. We’ve even reported on some of it in previous dev updates!

We’d like to take this opportunity to shed some light on this sentiment, as it’s a recurring one. We’re not putting out anything before we hit 1.0, which is why you may feel that we aren’t giving the game the attention it deserves. This couldn’t be further from the truth — the team is working incredibly hard to deliver 1.0 on time, and we can’t wait for you to sink your teeth into it.

That actually sounds like an awesome idea — a trader outpost in the middle of the water that can only be accessed by boat. It doesn’t even need to be a trader; it could be a special POI. It’s definitely not out of the question.

The behind-the-scenes videos are in high demand, and we’ll make sure to release a new series before the 1.0 launch. We just need to ensure we don’t disturb our awesome devs too much from their work — but I imagine they’ll love to appear once they find out people want to hear from them! :)

Funny as that would be, there is no correlation between the anti-cheat system and Twitch. Honestly, it would make more sense than the actual reason they banned our account. To give credit where it’s due, they didn’t ban us last week and we held a great stream, which you can watch here[www.twitch.tv].

That’s it for this week, prisoners. See you in the next one! For more SCUM content, be sure to keep an eye on the following platforms:

New anti-cheat will change nothing - Here's why

If massive studios like PUBG, with huge budgets, veteran dev teams, and multiple anti-cheat systems like BattleEye and their own in house tools still cannot get cheating under control, what chance does a small dev team have? Cheating is a constant arms race. No matter how hard you fight it, cheaters adapt. Even with two anti-cheats running, PUBG is still flooded with hackers. That’s with all their funding and resources. Unless your game is backed by something like Riot’s Vanguard, a kernel level anti...

I still dont get it

I love this game, it is 100% up my street but I just can't stick with it. This is my first time back in a year or so and its improved massively but | just can't put time into it. I have been through 2 small villages and still cant get enough thread to make the basics. I have clothing, rags whatever but I can't upgrade my gear because I somehow cant make thread. Its things like this that put me off, it makes no sense. The loot table is terrible, I get the premise and realise I can change it but it just fee...

Early Access Review

Scum took best parts of suvival elements and put more detail to it.The Metabolism feature can be tedious but once the habit is there, it adds a new level of focus to the game. Vehicles are good, as well as the AI, graphics, character movement, lighting, gun play, map size, animations, and ambiance.

Its time for a change

End of the day, this game has been stuck in the water for years now. The cheating seems to have gotten out of control. The fan base is still being 100% ignored. The devs are still promising and not delivering. SCUM gameplay youtube search Recommended 4 videos, 3 by same creator. Other videos, 2-3 content creators and gaming channels. THATS IT. The games dead. If release 1.0 is what I think its going to be (some bells and whistles but the same game, with cheating etc still present) this game is going to t...

Don't waste your money if you want to play on private servers with friends.
Almost £34 for the game itself then they charge you ridiculous prices if you want a private server.
I don't expect to pay for a game then have to pay more to enjoy it with friends without having to worry about cheaters.

building in this game!

Developers ever plan to simplify it, like in order to get to roof two stories up I need to ramp myself to reach. This is horrible design. The recipe for crafting structures is fine, but the reach is pretty sad
