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..

[h3]Good day, prisoners! Hope Monday’s going easy on you and that you’re strapped in for a fresh new dev update![/h3]





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.

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.

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.
