The developers of SCUM have released their latest community showcase, featuring a humorous ranking of player-submitted selfies and highlighting content from several community creators. The post celebrates the creativity of the survival game's playerbase with a lighthearted competition judging the best and worst in-game self-portraits.
SCUM's Best Selfies: Community Screenshots Ranked
The prison island of SCUM might be a harsh environment for survival, but that hasn't stopped inmates from finding time to snap some creative selfies. In their latest community showcase, the development team at Gamepires has ranked player-submitted screenshots from worst to best, delivering their verdict with a healthy dose of humor.
Community manager Perito took on the role of judge, sifting through numerous submissions to highlight ten standout selfies that showcase both the game's visual capabilities and the playerbase's creativity.
From Worst to First: The Selfie Rankings
The showcase begins with what Perito describes as "a good example of a bad selfie," setting the tone for the humorous commentary that accompanies each entry.
One particularly notable entry drew comparisons to Travis Bickle, while another player's attempt to show off their vehicle earned them a spot in the rankings despite missing the selfie mark.
Not all submissions followed the selfie guidelines, with some players opting for artistic screenshots gazing into the distance rather than true self-portraits. These entries received recognition but didn't make the top spots.
Who Took the Top Prize in SCUM's Selfie Contest?
After reviewing all submissions, Perito announced the winners of the contest:
- 1st Place: Player Chainzs, whose creative self-portrait stood out from the competition
- 2nd Place: A humorous entry described as a "hungry lil fella, lusting for fish and ships"
- 3rd Place: Player KrisTi, earning bronze with their prison island portrait
The winning selfie by Chainzs demonstrates the visual possibilities within SCUM's engine, combining the game's gritty aesthetic with player creativity.
Community Content Creators Highlighted
Beyond the selfie contest, the showcase also featured videos from three community content creators, giving players new perspectives on the prison island survival experience:
Gaming Central's video demonstrates how SCUM's unforgiving PvE environment naturally creates tense PvP encounters, showcasing the game's unique blend of survival mechanics.
Up-and-coming streamer rk_malimaks was featured with content highlighting special moments in the game, while John_Dominator's high-octane raid footage rounded out the community highlights.
Community Engagement Continues
This community showcase demonstrates Gamepires' ongoing commitment to engaging with the SCUM playerbase. By highlighting player creativity and community content, the developers continue to foster a connection with fans of the hardcore survival title.
The lighthearted nature of the selfie contest provides a moment of levity in a game otherwise known for its uncompromising realism and detailed survival mechanics, where players must monitor everything from vitamin intake to metabolic rates while navigating the dangers of the prison island.
