SCUM - Patch 0.7.500.53341

[h3]Hey everyone, we are back and get ready for the big one! The female update is now live!!!!! [/h3]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h_qX3RYde8

[h3]Also a note, due to huge changes in this update we were forced to do a partial wipe. You will keep your characters and their states everything else unfortunately went to Chutulu. [/h3]





You have been teased, your thirst was showing but now it is finally live! The new female characters are here, with them bringing a lot to be desired for.



There is a lot to unpack here and what it means for the game so let's start with the beginning.

First off, we have the character creation. There is a bit to go over here.



As you can see alot of it is the same but there is one detail here. There are now more options for character models. In fact you can now choose between 8 of them! Talk about variety!

Now before when you pressed next on this one it would immediately take you to the skill point distribution screen, now we have an extra step for more customization!



Here you can get a closeup to your characters and a lot more customizations. these include anything from the color of your eyes, hairstyle, hair color whatever you wish for! You can even apply makeup to try out all those shitty makeup tutorials you can find on youtube. An important note here is that we are giving the options of makeup and hair color here for now for you guys to try out and experiment. At one point the plan is that you have to find these items in the world to apply them.

You might be wondering, wait a minute what if I already have a female character? What will happen to it? Well we connected the old models to the one that resembles the most from the new ones. But if that does not tickle your fancy or want to change it anyway, for all characters male or female the first plastic surgery will be free! You can also see our new plastic surgery screen!



That is not all of the changes we have for characters of female persuasion. We have completely reworked the way clothing wraps around the body and fits the model. It looks much more natural and streamlined now compared to before. This is currently only on the female characters, fellas will get their attention later on.

Again we are here. We looked at our performance and saw that the Samobor city still drained a lot of memory. So we did a heavy round of optimizing the city, but not without the cost. It means that alot of the buildings in Samobor are now not enterable. This does not mean however it will stay this way. As we are progressing in development and can see we can manage opening them up again we will re visit to do so.
