And, as usual, it’s time to dive into some awesome videos from our creators and players.

Once again, we have "Torak" who is laser-focused on constructing his mountain base, and he’s proven that his flying and landing skills are nothing short of impressive. Check it out - you might pick up a trick or two along the way

[h3]Happy Monday, Prisoners! We’ve got a fresh batch of updates on our teams’ progress. Some of these you may have already heard about and are still actively in development, while others are brand new, so let’s dive in![/h3]





The programming team has been focused on the ongoing inventory UI rework. In addition, they’re working on official mod support, as well as a system for saving destroyed trees and bushes. Improvements to NPC movement are underway, aiming for more advanced and balanced behavior. Other ongoing tasks include quest UI animations, a weapon station for the sidecar bike, bug fixing, and helmet penetration setup.



The level design team has been fine-tuning the main menu level for Halloween and creating modular elements for new industrial buildings. New concepts for BB elements are in progress, along with a master shader for clothing items that will showcase a new damage look.



The art team has been busy with the gameplay/cinematic trailer and adding some finishing touches to the Tommy gun. They’ve also been working on the Halloween and Winter main menu rework. Hard surface artists continue work on the Zundapp, AK15 rework, and fixing bugs where magazines were still paintable. They’ve also been updating weapon paint UVs. Soft surface artists are working on new clothing items. The 2D team is creating level design concepts and supporting the inventory rework.



Audio designers are busy with sidecar and dinghy engine sounds, Tommy gun continuous fire design, bug fixing, and attenuation tweaks.



The design team is focused on NPC upgrades, bug fixing, armed NPCs, and developing future design concepts and ideas.

As always, the team is hard at work fixing bugs, continuing the inventory rework, adjusting NPCs, and working on new concepts for clothing items, BB elements, and other gear. All of this is part of our focus on delivering the next update.

Okay, now that we've seen everything we needed to see (and some things that we did NOT) it's time for some SCUM-related videos our cool community has created over the past week.

First up, we have "Torak” the home-flipper of the apocalypse. He took a RUINED house that screamed “please collapse” and turned it into a badass fortress. Swing by for some inspiration and learn a thing or two!

Up next, enjoy this heartwarming tale of sibling bonding—because nothing says “family love” like exploring the ruins, building a dream kitchen, and making some serious money. Thanks, "Luthais".

Finally, "KillaMikeZ2693" shows us how to get the Cursed Puppet Suit at the Halloween House, our latest seasonal update.

This was the best from last week's community contribution, hope you guys enjoyed it, and see you next time! Cheers!

[h3]Happy Monday, everyone! As we kick off a new week, here’s a quick look at what the team has been working on over the past few days. Let’s dive in![/h3]





The programming team has been focused on bug fixing to smooth out the gameplay experience. We’re also continuing the inventory rework and working on more advanced NPC movement. Armor class rework is also being polished. Now, each piece of clothing has penetration absorption removed on uncovered areas.



Over the past few days, the team has been busy fine-tuning terrain and continuing work on the Police Station. On the art side, wooden and brick modular elements for houses under construction are coming together nicely. We’re also working on something new and exciting, with multiple team members involved in its development and bug fixing.



The animation team has been busy with new hairstyles, trailer prep, bug fixing, and seasonal content like Halloween and Christmas menu elements. Hard Surface continues work on the Sidecar Bike, knife with flint and compass, while also helping with bug fixes. Soft Surface is focused on character development, bug fixing and new clothing items and the 2D team is working on UI improvements and creating new level design concepts.



The sound team is still developing sound effects for the Thompson SMG and a new vehicle.



The game designers are addressing bugs and making essential internal adjustments to help prevent potential balance issues. They have also finally created the human guts, because nothing says “advanced crafting” like chopping up humanoids for sausages.

___

Bug fixes, inventory rework, and NPC improvements are underway. Terrain and buildings are progressing. Animation and art teams are working on new gear and seasonal content. UI and sound updates continue.

With the hotfix done, we’re now shifting focus to the next big update so expect more news soon!
