We’ve been hard at work making Space Scum smoother, louder, and a bit meaner in all the right ways. This update brings a full tutorial overhaul, visual and audio upgrades, and an entirely new mission type.
⚠️ Please note: old save files are not compatible with this update. All players will need to start a new run as the game will not be able to load your previous saves.
The tutorial has been completely reworked with its own location, weapons, and narrative. We've also added behind-the-scenes systems to make early missions less punishing. Within the tutorial zone specifically, injuries are now reduced, instant deaths are avoided, and the balance shifts slightly in your favor when things get tough.
You’ll notice a lot has changed visually:
Brand new UI makeover (some parts are not fully implemented yet, but you can already test how it feels!)
Fresh visuals for random encounter maps
Animated start screen
We've now finished the initial content for the Desert Planet and the Forest, with new world and location sprites
Every sound in the game has been revisited:
Updated UI and combat effects
Voice lines cleaned up and expanded, the low-quality ones are gone
Expect more variety both in where and how you fight, from boulder-strewn plains to ruined outposts and skeleton-filled fields. There is also a new mission type: Defend, where holding your ground is just as important as taking it.
A lot of work has gone into this update and your feedback is truly invaluable. ⚠️ Please remember that Space Scum is still in an early stage of development and things will continue to evolve as we move forward.
