A small content update with a couple of bugfixes are ready so here you go:





First off we have a new helmet, inspired by that one guy. Forgot his name tho. Anyway here it is!



Use it well to either help dames in distress or burn someone's village. Find you a man who can do both.

Next up we have a new sword:



Also hiding in random castles around the island you can find this old relic, once a pinnacle of infantry combat weapons. Whoever said pen is mightier than a sword obviously never got stabbed by it.



Now ya landlubbers, since tha 0.5 dropped on the world, yar have been sailing me oceans not dressed properly. Rectify this mistake immediately or the next time you venture out into the deep blue, me black flag is tha last thing you will see!





Now it is time for a whole new collection I like to call:



Alright, alright we heard you with the requests and here they are. A required fashion accessories for any proper man of Albian heritage:







Now combine all of these and you can create something like this (thank you Pong for already leaking this ːsteamsaltyː ):

Hello hello, we have another small fix for you. 2 changes incoming.

• Potential fix for the connection lost issue.
  

• Added and fixed a new video setting Texture memory.
  

Texture memory is a bit important so listen up:

This determines how much memory your graphics card has to load in textures in higher quality so set it up accordingly.

• Low 1 GB
  
• Medium 2 GB
  
• High 3 GB
  
• Epic 4 GB
  

So if you have a lower end graphics card with let's say 2-3 GB of memory available pick the Low setting, as for mid range and higher end ones see which one works best for you accordingly.

[h3]Hey hey people some important news.[/h3]

We noticed a recent boom in our player count from all corners of planet earth and that some of our translations are outdated for these parts, or even some languages completely missing. We also had a lot of you guys messaging us, offering help with translations. Well we are now launching a new program: SCUM international.




Launching this program with goal of bringing SCUM and it's community globally we are looking for volunteers to help us with translations and community feedback.

Whether you think you have what it takes to translate text in game, patch notes or you want to help us link up with people that do not speak or write English, we are looking for your help.

Hopefully this will help us all to connect with our scummunity worldwide and open up more channels of communication.

If you are interested in helping us out and being part of this program, you can contact us at:

See you soon!
