Cooking pots don't grow on trees..or in the ground for that matter.

Nighttime cozyness.

How going to sleep while still intoxicated looks like.

How parents look at you when you arrive home later that you promised.

Got' em!

Not sure if pirates or vagrants.

What most girls' IG feed looks like during summer.

Granma Clause causing global warming over here!

A face only a mother (or TEC1 scientists) could love.

Finally someone with proper potty manners in this game!

SCUM - Development update #151

[h3] Hey, hey, everyone! Happy Monday. Time for another Dev update! Check it out! [/h3]





Programmers have been really busy last week. Work continues on such important work as the inventory rework, code review, and more, as you read about last week. With that, they are working on a new build machine system, so updates have fewer issues on that front. All that, bugfixing, and more for the next update, just another week in the life of the programmers.



We said it last week, so it is this week. Level designers are all working on something we cannot speak about at this moment in time.



The animators are working on the new sidecar animations and rigging for another new vehicle. Bugfixing here and there and setting up grips for the next update. Other than that, I'm working on the cinematic trailer.

Hard surface are heavily into bugfixing and finishing the vehicle models.

Softsurface also working on new stuff, but more on that in the future.



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



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

See ya next week!

[h3]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![/h3]



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..

Check out their video as well!

Here's a shoutout to our other creators so make sure to check them all out!

The Goodish Gamer tried to make a cooking show… whether they succeeded is up for debate, but they definitely cooked up some laughs!

Interesting enough, content creator Loralyne set off to survive with minimal skill settings. Go check out how far she made it!

SCUM - Development update #150

[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.
