[h3]We wish you all a pleasant Monday as we hop into a fresh Dev update to see what was happening over the last week. Let’s begin![/h3]





The programming team has been focused on the inventory rework, with a full overhaul of both the holsters panel and the main inventory panel. Work on new clothing shader support is also in progress, as well as server optimization and prototyping systems for foliage, trees, and zombie behavior. NPC movement has been advanced, quest UI animations are being refined, and features like the sidecar bike weapon station and dinghy functionality are being developed. The team is also continuing to improve mod support and tackle bug fixes, including additional improvements to penetration issues.



Level designers have added new modular elements and updated the clothing damage system, expanding material editing features. Coordination is ongoing regarding integrating new furniture.



The animation team has been focused on cinematic trailer work and bug fixes. Hard surface artists are still hard at work with the AK15, weapon painting UV updates for rifles, new weapon skin UVs. Soft surface artists have been updating female clothing and creating new cloth materials. The 2D team worked on level design concepts, inventory redesign, new atlases, and reviewed emblem integration.



The sound team focused on bug fixes, as well as volume edits and recordings for inventory item handling.



The design team has been working on refining NPC behavior and overall balance, addressing key items from the design backlog, and implementing several important bug fixes. They’ve also been working on a loot system for armed NPCs' design changes.

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

Second in line comes “RayKit” whose gaming crew showed us just how much you can earn in a single day - and the numbers might surprise you.

[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.
