Hey everyone! Happy Tuesday! It’s time for our weekly Community Showcase. We’ve got some awesome highlights to share, so let’s dive right in!




New season of Geordie Shore just dropped.


Seas the day...


The new Sons of Anarchy look kinda sad.


Lighting is important.


They say there’s a lot of fish in the sea but there’s always that one guy that takes them all..


When your buddy hits the corners a little too hard.


They messed up my taxidermy orders.


Ma’am, you can’t park your shark here.


Good thing puppets aren’t sensitive to smell.


Bottle flip, task failed successfully.

And now, buckle up — because this one’s wild!

Our long-time friends and amazing supporters at The ScumDumpster community just turned 3! To celebrate, they hosted an epic SCUMDumpster Carnival and it was nothing short of spectacular! The team built a massive, colorful playground packed with mini games, prizes, and plenty of fun challenges for everyone. The highlight of the event? A jaw-dropping high-speed acrobatic ride inside a giant sphere! Huge congratulations to The ScumDumpster community on three incredible years. Here’s to many more!














They may have partied a little too hard..

Good day, prisoners! Hope Monday’s going easy on you and that you’re strapped in for a fresh new dev update!





Our programmers are keeping their heads down and are hard at work on delivering the much-anticipated inventory rework that we’re preparing for the upcoming update, and we’ll talk about that more as we near its release. Apart from that, they have continued their work on additional NPC server settings and on adding the limping option to puppets (and on their loot). Since we mentioned NPCs, they are also working to add additional and more advanced movement capabilities. One of the things that we’re excited about is the sidecar bike, and our programmers are adding a weapon station to it. In addition, they are working on other functionalities for it. It is also worth noting that they have worked on squad emblems, bug fixing, and, last but not least, mod support.



The level design team is almost in its entirety engaged in something… that we can’t talk about just yet (get used to seeing this line because it's gonna be a long process). Exciting stuff that we can’t wait to share once we’re able to talk more.



The animators are mostly engaged with new mocap sessions for the new cinematic trailer and on animations for the Tommy gun and the sidecar bike. The hard surface team is also heavily involved with finishing up the sidecar bike and is making some changes to weapon textures. To top it off, they are also working on a rework for the AK-15. The soft surface crew is working on a new type of clothes. Lastly, 2D has been engaged in some new concept art and on the squad emblems.



Sound engineers are working on some sounds pertaining to the inventory rework and on some bug fixing.



Clearing up some leftover bugs, new documentation prep for 2026, and the inventory rework were the main tasks that our designers were engaged with.

See ya next week!

Good afternoon, Prisoners! It’s Tuesday, and you know what that means - our Community Showcase is back with another awesome batch of your creativity from last week!




This is what a Croatian mandatory service will look like.


Kid Rock called, he wants his things back.


That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron.


Who says you can't be fine dining while trying to survive the SCUM island?


When your kids think “personal space” is just a myth.


When the afterparty hits different… and not in a good way.


Hot Wheels SCUM track is officially open today


Nothing says relaxation like setting your wooden house on fire mid-yoga.


Why is it called an accumulation lake if you can’t drop an accumulator in it?


Mom said it's my turn on the wheelbarrow!

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.

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!





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!
