Helo everyone, happy Monday! Today we bring something new for you. We get a lot of questions from the community regarding SCUM and some of them often repeat themselves. Whether they be of technical, gameplay wise or other nature. So here we go!



1) When will SCUM leave Early Access?

• The answer is uncertain. The original plan is to finish the game by the end of 2019. But as always in Development world, there are always uncertainties and unforeseeable circumstances. This is why we refrain from giving exact date. We are doing something we love here and we want to do it right.

2)Will SCUM come to console?

• At one point yes. What point is that? After we finish the PC port and leave early access. We are a team of around 30 pe
  o
  ple and shifting our focus wouldn't be fair to the players.

3)Will SCUM have controller support?

• At one point yes. First we have to finish all the features so we can have a clear picture how and where we can map the controls for the controllers.

4)When will a new roadmap arrive?

• Once we finish all that was pr
  o
  mised in the last one. Truth to be told Tena is lazy and doesn't want to do it.

5)You just released content/optimization update why not optimization/content update?

• This is a frequent yet a complicated question every patch/hotfix we release. So here we go: depends on what is finished in time for release. This does not mean our focus is shifting, it is simply different people work on different things. If we have a gun that is finished why not release it? There is also a difference between a hotfix and a patch. Patch is when we add new features and content to the game, and a hotfix is when there is something gamebraking, that slips through the cracks, that needs fixing urgently after a patch.

6)When will you release server files?

• Also a frequent and complicated question. The game is still in Early Access. This means it is still prone to a lot of changes on all side. Releasing server files right now would be in short: a logistical nightmare. We also need to be vary of hacks and cheats. The more files we release the easier it is to develop tools for hac
  k
  ing the game and ruining the game experience for everyone. So not releasing server files seems logical to us for now.

7)Is G-portal the only official server provider for SCUM?

• Yes. Any other site that claims to provide servers for SCUM is not supported nor sanctioned by us.

8)The server I play on is down. What do I do?

• If it is an official server you can contact any of the CM/JCMs on the discord through a PM. We will restart the server as soon as we see the message.

9)Are there going to be official PVE servers?

• We will see. If the interest is high enough we might dedicate a few servers for PVE.

10)When and why does a wipe occur?

• When we announce them. There are cases when optimization is needed or we introduce a new feature that requires a wipe. We usually try to avoid them to not mess with the current gameplay, yet sometimes they are necessary. You can expect more wipes until we leave Early Access.

11)How will inventory rework optimize the game?

• Well one of the biggest hits on server performance right now are chests filled with items. With the new rework we will have better handling on those items and it should decrease the server load by a large margin.

12)I want to join the official Alpha testing discord and servers. How can I do this?

• You can contact D1nosaur on discord through the PMs. What we take under review is your community activity and how constructive you are on steam forums and the official SCUM Discord, among other things. It never hurts to apply if you are truly interested.

13)I want to report a bug how can I do this?

• You can do so through the Steam forum thread, under Bug reports. What helps the most are repro steps,video or a screenshot(you can post your videos by putting them on Youtube as unlisted and giving us the link) and the co-ordinates(pressing CTRL+C while in game copies exact co-ordinates to your clipboard).

14)I want to report a cheater how can I do this?

• Please use this form to report cheaters, this method will be more clear to us, and we can investigate cases of cheaters more efficiently. Everything is explained in the form below.
  
  Cheater reports
  
  P.S.
  F
  alse reports will be sanctioned.
  

15)My microphone is not working in-game.

• Before you do anything please close all third-party software that may be running in the background(such as Discord, ReLive etc.) then check if it works. If not verify integrity of files and try again. If it is still broken contact us on Tech support forum on Steam and we will do our best to help solve the pr
  o
  blem.

16)I cannot change my graphics settings.

• Do the exact same steps as in 15)

17)My skills are not leveling up.

• Befo
  r
  e writing up a Bug report make sure to check what are your stats. There is a cap on how much you can level a skill under a specified stat. For an example if you have a stat under 2.5 all skills under that stat are capped at medium level.

18)I increased my X level yet I still have X deficiency?

• The way the metabolism works now, it checks what are your levels periodically. So give it some time and see if it re
  m
  oves then (the maximum is till the next server restart)

19)Why is there so much/so little loot available?

• We are constantly keeping an eye out for the best loot drop rate. What we need to consider is best server performance but also community feedback. Also you need to remember SCUM is a survival game so the idea is to make an effort to survive.

20)I cannot s

e

e other players while in 3rd person?

• Yes this is not a bug. There is a system in place that ensures that if you can't see something in first person you cannot see it in third person. Awareness skill also has a major play in this.

Thank you for reading, (still here) Beda.

And we are back! Before we go into the update, we want to say sorry for no patch this week... you know, reasons, but we have some new interesting things to show that should hit the game soon, so let's get into it!

• Missions are almost done, you will get a tutorial in the first wave, but with time we will add more missions that will tie into the lore and the various activities on the island.

• It came from the darkness in silence, and it brought only death and doom. The steed of annihilation. Please make a super dramatic video while riding a bike in our game.

• If the AK-47 had a 35 years younger brother it would be this beauty, the AK-12

• There are a few things that our new inventory system will bring, from the obvious visual rework to the most important part that are the optimizations that will impact the game big time. More on that once the system hits the Island.

A small craftable cabin for your own universe.

• But to build that cabin you will need a lot of logs and other stuff, and that takes time and lots of animations.

• Tons of ruins, who knows what you can find exploring them?

• Numbeeers, because we all love them. Here you will be able to keep track of your adventures, also if you have any suggestions what you would like to see in the stats section, let us know in the comments!

Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental

• Do you wanna knows the secret of growing a bad ass beard? Me too, if you find it let me know.

Here is a fresh community showcase from yours truly Beda, straight from the oven:

Now for some questions from our previous post:

• Yes both features are planned to make an appearance down the line.

• Plans? Yes. When? Can't say for sure so keep an eye out till Wonder leaks it.

• It is planned yes. But currently all focus is on finishing the PC release and leaving Early access.

• You may ask. Next question please.

• Uhhmmmm.... Thanks?

• Beda? Never heard of him.

• Thanks for enjoying the game! As for the hair question check out the post above. Piercings, eye colors and more faces are all planned. We are still looking into height as it draws its own problems.

• Considered. Planned. Done.

• Can someone please remove this man from the premises? Security!

Greetings everyone, hope you had a fun weekend!
To soften the blow of a Monday here is a fresh new Community showcase for you:

Now is time for some Q&A. Here we go, no gimmicks:

• "Palm trees are not native Croatian, but thrive in the Mediterranean climate on the coast. Palm branch was a symbol of victory, triumph and eternal life. It is also a symbol of peace. In the small town of Vrboska, which is on the island of Hvar, palm tree is a symbol that represents the city." Next.

• We really don't need any more reasons to end up on FBI watch list.

• Well I did. Have you seen my figure? Im sexy af.

• Yes there will. Once we add more protection features for your little safe spaces like traps etc.

• Yep. We are working on that feature but have no exact ETA on it yet. The constant stalling is due to your low driving skill.

• When you gather around 3 more friends and a talking dog, so you can take it and hunt mysteries across the island.

• Absolutely. There are plans for sicknesses, medication, specific injuries that all influence your characters performance.

• Maybe I will. Missions and NPC's are in the works, also there are more mechanics and content on the way that should satisfy both parties. We are also working on a new system that should increase the optimization.

• You can choose your preferred language by right clicking SCUM in your Steam library, and then going to properties then language.

• In the name of Gamepires, we all appreciate you enjoying our game.

That is all from us for now.
Stay safe out there, (still not fired) Beda.

And here is the newest addition:

Hey, folks! Guess what! It's me and I brought a friend again!

His name is Igor, but literally everyone calls him Iggy to the point where new people will accidentally refer to him as Igor and get blank stares like "who tf is that?" Iggy is one of our 2ish animators and today you'll learn his story!


This is what bro pride looks like.

Before joining us at Gamepires, Iggy had a really cool past life as a very successful Youtuber making Dota 2 videos. Later he worked at another local gamedev studio as a video editor and then finally found his home with us.


If you're Iggy and you know it clap your hands! (Apparently this is a screenshot of a polished animation for carrying stuff around, but why would I give you any useful info if I can make a bad joke instead?)

If you've followed us here on Steam for a while, then you know that he wasn't always "just" an animator. We used to be poor and small and understaffed and Iggy is a bro, so he'd moonlight as a community manager talking to you guys and answering your questions. Then I got here and took his job. Kidding! We have more people for that now, so Iggy is free to concentrate on his holy animator duties, but you can still run into him online from time to time because he just likes talking to people. Weirdo.


We don't do that here, bro.

Right now he's working on the animations for the female characters. Lucky for him, he doesn't have to do everything from scratch and we can reuse some from the male characters. He says that otherwise we'd have to wait 2 more years because that's just the amount of time it would take. It doesn't mean it's an easy fix, though. There's still a huge amount of things to be done and, honestly, we're under a huge amount of pressure to do this right.


What? Is this not how your wives, mothers and sisters walk around all the time? Even when it's like really hot? Okay.

Female animations aren't the only animations he's working on right now. For example, down below you can see what jumping from an airplane with a parachute will look like.


It's so fun that Steam doesn't allow gifs in posts! Wheeeeeeeeee! Broooooooo.

Iggy has made most of the animations already in SCUM, as well as many that are still waiting to be implemented. The lovely pooping and peeing animations we have? Those too. He likes working on several things at once because when he gets bored of one thing he can just do something else and then come back to it later. That means right now he's also making animations of shooting from a squad bike, boxing, and rowing. I asked him what his favorite thing about his job is, but he was just like "I don't know, I like all parts of my job" and then when I asked about the worst part he said there isn't one, so at that point I just gave up because I can't handle that much chill.

I already mentioned that Iggy is a bro and that wasn't just a lame joke. We got to work one morning and there was a random piano there. Turns out, Iggy brought his own piano because some people have expressed interest in learning how to play and Iggy, being a bro he is, was like "hey, yeah, by the way, I play the piano, so I can teach whoever here wants to learn to play it." So that's what he does afterhours. For free, just like that, because he's a bro. Several of us are also starting a cringey fake band just for fun, so if you have any songs you'd like to hear us cover, make sure to let us know in the comments. We'll pick the best suggestion and make a very bad music video. For real. It's gonna be bad, though.


I mean yes, he does look like he's playing something pretentious, but I'm 99% sure it was Celine Dion. Bro.

I hope you liked Iggy because all of us here do. And if you're nice, maybe he can be your bro as well. We'll talk to you again here on Friday and, in the meantime, you know where to find us!

Love you, bye!

Hope everyone had a good weekend, now let's get this show on the road



Vehicle Shaders

• We all remember this guy? Well, your wish came true, our shaders don't look any more like, whatever you were trying to say.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Missions

• Our mission system is slowly but surely coming to life, check out some screenshots I stole!
  
  
  Say hi to your new friend.

M82

• As you will get the M82 in the next patch, I won't bother you with the details, but I will leave a video here from our friend RayKit
  
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpxr5q_IKU0

Shoveling

• Did I really just write that? In any case, you will be able to bury items in the ground. For starters, you'll be only able to bury chests, also keep in mind everything that is buried, will deteriorate faster.
  
  
  
  
  
  

Eyelashes

1. Use eyeshadow for added fullness.
   
2. Mix your colors.
   
3. Heat your curler.
   
4. Prime before curling.
   
5. Layer your formulas.
   
6. Add eye makeup remover to resurrect dry mascara.
   
7. Clean your spoolie with contact lens solution.
   
   Shout out to Stylecaster for the tips and tricks!

• Women models are coming up nicely, and the wait is even shorter.

Archery achievements

• Do you think we were done with archery? Well... We are making an awesome archery video explaining all the details behind it so you can hunt down those achievements like a pro!
  
  
  
  
  
  A little snapshot from the archery video.

Community Q&A

• It's not a priority. After we leave EA who knows.
  
  
  
  
• Hi mom! Thanks for the cookies last week.
  
  
  
  
• Yeah! It's already planned. Metabolism, complete with medicine and cooking is due to rework in the future.
  
  
  
  
• We're not sure yet, if you guys have any suggestions let us know bellow in the comments!
  
  
  
  
• We actually have a 3-month road map,, and those 3 months expired yesterday, so thanks for reminding us! We'll start making a new one as soon as possible.
  
  
  
  
• I misread that for a second there... But yeah they are planned.
  
  
  
  
• Yep, once this feature is implemented, you will have to take care of your gun.
  
  
  
  
• Wolves will be added later on, and they will behave like a pack so be careful! Also, a feature where you can wrestle the alpha, and take over the pack if you win (no, not really).
  
  
  
  
• YO, OUR CODERS ARE SHIT. They just made the most complex survival game out there. I mean hey, feel free to show us how it's done, if you're good we can hire you.
  
  
  
  
• Hoarding is not a healthy habit you know? The idea is for the prisoners to craft, forage and provide what they need to survive for themselves. Loot, especially high-end loot, is more of a privilege than a given. That being said we do not want to restrict it too much and we are always looking at the feedback for maximum balance.

Hello there everyone.

We know you've been waiting for a new patch today but unfortunately no cigar this week. Why? Because we are working on finishing up on something big y'all have been asking for but more on that later. What do we have? Well we have another community showcase and a brand new comic!

We really do enjoy what you guys share with us so keep it up! You can also leave links to your social media if you are an artist/content creator. Get that free promotion in fam.



Well let's get to it! Here is the showcase:

Now for some Q&A from our last post:

• Don't worry, further improvements including getting rid of the elusive disappearing pots and pans are coming in the future.

• Sorry about that, been listening to too much Dead or Alive lately.

• Strategic value absolute

• Not only possible but already in the works!

• We can begin thinking about mod support after we leave EA.

• Yes you are right and the feature is planned. But we are working on other priorities right now and every time I walk into the programmers room mentioning this random stuff comes flying towards my head. Things I do for you guys...

• We still have a lot of testing to do before we announce anything. There are some sites you can visit in the meantime.

• Sir this is a family friendly server. Please behave yourself.

• Well uhm... Yeah... Not even going there.

• A full list will come once we collect all the music that is going to be implemented (that's right more is on its way). You can already find some on reddit.

New comic! Ivona and Patrik worked hard to add another one to your collection. If you haven't seen any of the other ones yet. Make sure you do by the links below!

And the latest edition:



That is all for now!
Signing out, for the first time (and probably last once my boss reads this), Beda out.

Hey, everyone!

I hope you're not too mad I missed a couple of these showcases! We've been really busy recently with some big things coming up soon, so everything else that isn't strictly game-related kind of got put on the back burner. I'm back, though, and I'm very excited for you to meet Mirko, officially a 3D artist, unofficially one of my favorite coworkers, and today you'll find out why!


I really tried to think of a bad joke to use as a caption, but look at this face! He's so nice that I don't have it in me. Sorry.

Mirko has been with Gamepires for almost 3 years and during that time he has made a bunch of game assets you all know and love. He says he always wanted to work in game development and he had strong nerd tendencies since he was a kid. A good example of the latter is how proficient he is with anything hardware related. Someone in the office wants to buy a new piece of hardware and needs advice on what to get? Ask Mirko. My laptop is acting weird and Google can't help me? Go whine to Mirko. Most of the times you don't even have to ask. He'll offer to do it himself because he's just nice like that.


A completely candid and not at all posed photo of Mirko washing my coffee cup even though it was already clean

He's a self-taught 3D artist who played around with various modeling software at home in his spare time, starting with 3ds Max, using Youtube tutorials and hanging out on different 3D modeling forums. However, he was not always a game developer. Before that, in another life, Mirko was a chef. Yes, you heard that right - Mirko was a chef for 11 long years. I asked what happened there because, while I knew that piece of info, I didn't know the full story. He simply said he got bored of the kitchen and decided on a career change. Just like that? Yep, just like that. Gamedev is obviously a stressful and fast-paced environment, but he says it doesn't even come close to the stress of working in a kitchen. He applied at Gamepires, passed the test and the rest is history.



In his spare time, Mirko likes to make Barbie house models.

That's exactly what's great about him. He's not one to sit on his ass. He wants to do something, but doesn't know how? You can rest assured he'll study the hell out of that thing, watch as many tutorials as he needs to learn it and practice like a madman. It's honestly inspiring. Even most of his answers to my interview questions were inspiring. I asked him what his favorite part of his job is and he said it's learning new things because there's always something new to learn. Usually I'd just make a lame joke about motivational bullshit and move on, but in this case I knew he wasn't lying. Learning new stuff is just his thing.

So what exactly was Mirko's contribution to SCUM, you ask? Well, let's see. Most of his day-to-day work relates to level design, but as you might already know, we're a Small Team™ and Everyone Does Everything™ and so does he. Remember the airport? The most visited place on the Island? Mirko made all of it. The mech? Mirko. The drone that shows up at the most inconvenient times possible and follows you around? Also Mirko. A bunch of underground bases, weapons, new city assets? Yep, Mirko.


We heard you like leaks, so here's a cool one.

His story is an important one and not just in the follow-your-dreams-and-good-things-will-happen sense. I'm not advising anyone to just up and quit their job and be like "I'm gonna be a game dev now" because that's obviously stupid. No, Mirko's story is a story of hard work and dedication to learning and that's something all of us can learn from and aspire to.

Hopefully you liked this week's post and meeting our Mirko. If you have any thoughts or messages for him, please leave them in the comments down below!

Have a great day and talk to you soon!

Hello and welcome to another update where we show you the amazing things we are working on for you guys!



Double Magazines

• "There is nothing that some duct tape didn't fix or make better." That's how the old saying goes, and who are we to say anything different?
  
  
• Guns that will be able to have double mags are:
  
  • AK 47
    
  • AKM
    
  • AKS
    
  • M16
    
  • MK18
    
  • MP5
    
  • AS VAL
  
  
• Besides faster reload, once we add different bullet types, you will be able to load each mag with different ammo.
  
  Also, you are getting that big bad M82 next patch.

Exploding Heads

"Is this really good enough to put into the update?"
• Without this, this update wouldn't exist.
  
  
• With the M82 getting live soon, we had to make this for an extra reward for all the headshots you will make.

Ship Wrecks

• Casual diver, treasure hunter or just need a good place to dump a body. All of them are cool, and thats why we are making some interesting and amazing diving spots like this!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Regarding diving, you will be able to find/craft various items that will help you in diving. We will go into more details in some future update.

Quad bike animations

• With the last update on quads, we improved and polished old animations for a better driving experience.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Base build accessories

• You all saw in this post some snippets of base building, here are some tools that you will use.
  
  
• You will need the tools for collecting various resources that are needed for base building. What did pirates do with shovels? Buried their chests!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Also a place for the guests to stay.
  
  

Community Q&A

I just want to say, that this is becoming my favourite part really fast.

• We won't let your dreams be dreams. We are working on them as we speak.
  
  
  
• Fingers crossed it's a carpenter related problem. But try to verify your steam files, it helps most of the time.
  
  
  
• Let's make you a deal. We will just add a megaphone? For extra effect, you can use a real megaphone.
  
  
  
• There will. We plan to add more animations, faces, tatoos down the line.
  
  
  
• We will lower the spawn rate of them in the next patch pinky promise. You will be able to find all sorts of stuff in the market. But we will make sure to add a Christmas isle!
  
  
  
• Current default loot settings are best optimised for fluent gameplay. Any increase puts more strain on servers and issues appear. But we are already working on ways to optimize that aspect.
  
  
  
• Salt? Sant? Saut? Scot? Scut? Seat? Sect? Sekt? Sent? Sept? Sett? Shot? Shut? Sift? Silt? Sist? Skit? Slit? Slot? Smit? Snit? Snot? Soft? Soot? Sort? Sout? Spat? Spet? Spit? Spot? Stat? Stet? Stot? Suet? Suit? Swat? Swot? Sorry, I need more context.
  
  
  
• Thanks man! Love you too.
  
  
  
• Already on it. Keep an eye out for more info.
  
  
  
• The 4th? What happened to the first 3? Animal handling skill will be added in the future.

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”

Hey guys, here we are with a hotfix for some issues that the last patch added.



Bug fixes

• Fixed the bug where you couldn't patch wounds after being burned by fire.
  
  
• Fixed the bug where cutting down a tree would cause other trees of the same type to disappear.
  
  
• Fixed the bug where cutting down a tree would leave tree collision on the server and cause floating logs above ground
  
  
• Fixed the bug where trees and bushes would appear to be duplicated.
  
  
• Fixed the bug where you couldn't get off the quad bike if the driver side was blocked.
  
  
• Fixed fire damage being framerate dependant. Before fire would do different damage values depending on the server performance. Now it's always the same.
  
  
• Fixed the bug where you would lose famepoints during events
  
  
• Fix for item/event duplication bug
  
  
• Fixed quad scale

QoL additions

• Finished adding aging/degradation/wear to all clothing items.
  
  
• Lowered heat effects of candle and torch items
  
  
• Searching a puppet now drops items near the prisoner that did the searching instead the puppets position on the server.
  
  
• Items transfer heat slower if they are contained within clothing items (clothes, backpacks ...)
  
  
• Items no longer reach cooking temperatures while in clothes or hands.
  
  
• Cooking meat on skewers working now as expected
  
  
• Killing a prisoner via a headshot by a high powered rifle will result in his head exploding. (If we don't get videos from this in the first week we are removing it...it's a joke, but really get us some headplosion videos)
  
  
• Added 10 new tracks to the radio station
  
  
• Changed number of required days to unlock the survival achievements. Now its: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 32 days.
  
  
• Reduced chance for rain. (We got too many rainy days here at the office so at least we can get you some rays of sunshine!)
  
  
• Lowest shadow settings removed from options
  
  
• Resolved the issue where meat would continue sizzling after being eaten
  
  
• Resized the quad a bit so it doesn't look like a toy quad anymore

Optimizations

• Wetness system has been updated, wetness calculation is now much faster.
  
  
• Penis optimization. The D had a mind of its own, but we've managed to tame the beast. Don't ask what this means, just trust that we know what's best for you.
  
  
• Optimized weather controller on client side. (We are giving your CPU a little breather). It should result in better client performance = more FPS.
  
  
• Different dedicated server optimisations. It should result in better server performance = less lag.

Check taste

• We added a new option in cooking so you can check in what state is the chicken that you're roasting over the fire.
  
  

Okay, I have to admit that I was blown away by all the awesome screenshots you guys provided. So, I'm doing a new showcase with 5 screenshots. (This is just a small showcase, we will come back later with a bigger one that has more pictures and videos)
