Part of establishing a society is finding a place to live, but SCUM won’t feature base construction - at least it’s not currently part of the plan. Our hope is that players will create their own societies on the island.” It will be useful to have characters with a high medicine skill. “We don’t want anything to be forced, but sooner or later, players will realize that if they team up, their chances of survival will be much better, especially if they team up with players with advanced skills other than their own. “We’re trying to make this fully sandbox,” Pongrac explains. If you’re sick and looking for antibiotics, how will you be able to tell you’ve found the right bottle of medicine if you can’t read the label? It’s a good reason to team up with other players who might have skills you lack.
#What is the game scum about how to#
Knowing how to read might not, at first, seem all that pertinent to surviving on a prison island, but it could save your (only) life. Similarly, if you’ve had no education, you might not be able to read, but by forcing yourself to try, or by meeting another player who can educate you, it’s possible to learn.
You can start off with a low running skill, but if you run absolutely everywhere, you’ll naturally become quite good at it. Ostensibly, every character can use every gun, every type of medicine, and generally attempt whatever they want, regardless of skill they’ll just have a lot more obstacles to overcome. The metabolism mechanic means that change is constantly happening, and it’s the same with the various skills that characters can learn. It’s quite difficult.” Learning new tricks for early access launch Another character, a muscular guy, will have to feed those muscles protein to keep them. And eventually this fat will be burned, they’ll lose weight and maybe gain some muscle in the process. A character like that might not have to search for food as often. “The thing is, in a survival situation, body fat is good. “People ask us what the point of selecting a character with bad muscle and fat ratios is, and why they shouldn’t just make a character that looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger,” Pongrac says. Being a little bit on the chubby side, then, can sometimes be helpful. That, in turn, will make your hands shake, so you’ll be less effective if you need to shoot other players, NPCs, or animals. If you don’t, you’ll start to starve, making you weaker and tired. If you make a character with very little body fat, for example, you’ll need to find food more often. They think that there’s room for a new, ultra-detailed survival sandbox that places a great deal of importance on its dynamic simulation.Ĭharacter creation, metabolism, combat, and exploration are all interconnected, where one change can have a significant knock-on effect.
A lot of the big survival games still haven’t left early access, while battle royales like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds have been stripping the genre down to the barest of essentials. The pair noticed that, while DayZ helped to create a trend, things have started to change in the survival genre. That might explain why they’re bucking convention, even if the familiar elements of struggling to survive on a hostile island by hunting, looting, and killing are still present. They knew about DayZ, of course, and other titles, but until it came to testing them to see what the competition was like, they approached the genre with fresh eyes. Levenski and Pongrac didn’t really play survival games before they decided to make one of them their next project. You can even lose teeth, and if you lose all your teeth, you can starve.” “All characters have a different amount of blood and a different blood pressure, and they can digest different amounts of food. “If you choose to play as a prisoner who has more fat, then you have a chance to get a heart attack in the morning when the temperature is lower and the blood vessels tighten up,” Tomislav Pongrac, Gamepires’ co-founder and creative director, adds.
