SCUM Development Update – Whats New To Scum Game


SCUM Development Update taken from Steam Community Announcements

Hello everyone long time no see with one of these! We are constantly getting questions from you guys about the development status and how it’s going so we have decided to bring the Development updates back! These will release every week giving you fresh updates on what the team is working on! So without any further lollygagging check out what we have been up to this past week as I ran around the office trying to sneak out some photos for you fellas!

Also important announcement! As you will, and already have, see we have been working hard on optimizations and removing the issues in the game. This not only showed more time consuming than expected but also still requires work on the issues. Considering that we had a team meeting and decided to push the 0.7 update to Q1 2022. We did not take this decision lightly as we know you were hoping to get 0.7 as an early Holiday surprise. But the decision has been made to rather take more time to polish it and work on it further so we can provide you the best survival experience out there in the best state possible. Thank you all for understanding and do not worry, we still plan to release you a little something for the holidays.

Programmers have been hard at work this week, here is what they have:

  • Further work on the master/game server communication, reducing the lag and disconnection issues of players.
  • Resolving RPC issues, resulting in decreased lag between the player and the server.
