This meeting could’ve been an email. Instead, it’s chickens.

It’s always Sunny on SCUM Island.

Anyway, here's Wonderw....

These days, they call them ‘Unidentified aerial phenomenon’.

Not sure what the hell is happening here, but the frame looks very cinematic.

It’s called a transorbital lobotomy, but the tool for the procedure used here is a bit…unorthodox…

QoL patch and wipe coming next week!



[h3] Hey there prisoners! We're here to announce a new patch that we'll roll out next week, on the 19th of March, which will be packed with a variety of quality-of-life improvements and bugfixes![/h3]

Although we have been a bit silent over the past couple of weeks, we were very much active behind the scenes, and the team was working hard to deliver something that will improve the overall experience of SCUM.

Without further ado, let's see what the team's been cooking and what they've got in store for you:

[h3]WHAT TO EXPECT?[/h3]

Almost all aspects of the game will receive at least some type of improvement or fix. Everything from base building tweaks, weapon fixes, admin command adjustments, graphical fixes, new server settings... you name it!

While a lot of cool new tweaks and improvements are coming, we acknowledge that we're missing some shiny new features that are the main source of excitement. Rest assured, we're working on those as well and you can expect something more substantial with the beginning of summer. Until then, we will be releasing smaller patches on a monthly basis such as the one we'll have next week.

[h3]WIPE[/h3]

We are also announcing that along with the patch, we will also conduct a partial wipe of all official servers, which will take place on the same day - the 19th of March.

We wanted to give the community enough time to make the necessary preparations, as you will be able to sell all your stock for gold, which you will then be able to use again to repurchase some of the stock that you owned.

While unpopular to some, wipes are a necessity to keep servers running properly as they remove clutter such as unused bases and items from players who are no longer actively playing. They also make the servers fair and competitive for new players as everyone starts from the same starting point.

As always, partial wipes will NOT be enforced on private servers, although we encourage server owners to do the same for the same reasons listed above.

[h3]ADDRESSING THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
[/h3]

We are aware of the radio silence from our side when it comes to the recent news of the Splash Damage acquisition and just wanted to use this opportunity to briefly refer to this.

There are a lot of moving parts and background processes happening right now. Lots of meetings on all sorts of topics are taking place, people and teams are getting to know each other, and there's all sorts of planning and decision-making that need to be conducted in order to create a crystal clear picture of our way forward.

Because we don't have all the information yet, we have decided to wait before making any official statements. As you're very much aware, things always tend to change if they are not locked in and we want to avoid coming out with anything that is not set in stone. The last thing everybody needs is additional confusion, and clarity and a clear picture are what the community needs most at this point.

That is why we'd like to kindly ask you for a bit of your patience on this matter. There's no need for any type of concern as we're still working on the game as you can see with the patch announcement, and we'll shed more light on this as soon as possible!

Thank you all and see you on the Island!

[h3]Hello everyone, happy Monday! Start the week with yet another hotfix, check it out! ->[/h3]



  • Fixed the issue where puppets shot by a partially drawn bow would get stunned and then snap right next to the player.
  • Fixed the issue where, in some cases, dragging a chest out of inventory would drop it on top of buildings when no space is available.
  • Fixed the issue where purchasing a larger quantity of items from the traders would not provide all of the items, even though funds were spent
  • Fixed the issue where you could sit with a chest in your hands.
  • Fixed the issue where players would not drop items in their hands when knocked out.
