So let's get to PTE:

To start, how to get into the PTE branch. Simply right-click your game in your Steam library, and go to properties:

Hey, hey everyone, happy Monday! Ready for another Dev update? Well, it is sort of not here, but some other announcement, check it out!


Today, we are going a bit differently, a bit wild, so to speak. The regular list of who did what will not appear, but we are, however, giving you a tease on something we have been working on and what you can expect in the near future.

And that is:

PTE
For those who do not know this term, it stands for Player Test Environment. So, what, how, and why?

PTE will be a whole new branch of SCUM provided by us to ALL players who have a copy of SCUM. We are having some huge changes planned in both the near and far future, but also plans that can change the game in a major way.

Such changes can obviously impact the game a lot, so instead of pushing them live, we will be using the PTE to give you t... Read more

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




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.

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 f... Read more
