ashgcy Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 Welcome back sunken survivors! I hope you brought your party hats, because today is a very special day! In two days, the Sunken Scoop will turn 1! It's been really humbling that our little community has enjoyed them so much. Not to get sentimental, but writing the scoops is definitely a highlight of my fortnightly schedule! It's been really awesome sharing the excitement for our project with these little updates. Here's to the next year of the Sunken Scoop! To celebrate, our beloved logo is ascending! Notice anything different about that banner? But you're not here for me to get sappy, you're here for TSW content! These past two weeks, ZCI has been working on some absolutely beautiful pieces of concept art. He's made some new art for the Sunken Electrophorus (which has been missing custom concept art for a long while!) and has updated the Cameroceras' art so that it has a proper feature piece! In addition, our Discord emote competition has been receiving some wonderful submissions and the contest is still going if you want to get your submissions in. Read on to find out more! If this is your first time diving into the deep end, the Sunken World project is a dedicated team of individuals who are looking to spruce up the seas in the same way that Scorched Earth offered a unique, biome specific challenge to survival! New creatures, resources, structures, items and more, all set on a huge custom map, we're looking to give ARK's oceans the TLC they deserve! The main goal is to bridge that huge gap between early and late game ocean exploration, and make it much more viable and more fun to live a life beneath the waves. This is unofficial content and is only related to our mod. It is in no way related with the official game and its content releases. Let's dive into the scoop! CAMEROCERAS CONCEPT ART Quick! Someone call Nigel Marven! This monster of a mollusc has received a wonderful new feature piece thanks to ZCI! This squid lookalike is a living siege engine, as its hard, sleek shell allows it to build up speed and smash through structures! And if wild creatures are more of a problem than your enemy's base? The same battering ram attacks are great at dispatching swarms of pesky aquatic life, much like the Wooly Rhino's charge on land! SUNKEN ELECTROPHORUS CONCEPT ART When an eel has a maw with an electrical jaw, that's a moray! Don't be alarmed by its toothy grin though! Despite appearances the Sunken Electrophorus is much friendlier than its vanilla counterpart. For the most part they will ignore survivors, only attacking back if provoked, or they are near a corpse. In addition, they will only use their electrical attacks as a last resort to flee from a threat too strong to fight head on. Unlike vanilla eels, Sunken Electrophorus will spawn in with size variation! The largest eels will be able to be ridden bareback... just take care not to get shocked! TSW EMOTE CONTEST There's just shy of two weeks left on the TSW Emote contest! That's plenty of time to get your submissions in, so head on over to our Discord if you'd like to participate. Below is a reminder of the rules for the contest: All emotes/stickers must be TSW related Digital art is preferred, but all mediums of art will be accepted!

We look forward to seeing your submissions! COMMUNITY CORNER The community corner still lives! The streak of back-to-back features of content from our community continues!

There's a submissions channel in our Discord, or you can tag us @ARKSunken or with the hashtag #sunkenscoop on Twitter! Clips and Videos Creator: DarkEdgeTV DarkEdgeTV has another showcase! There's a certain ceratopsian with quite the attitude prancing around the beaches, and she's checking out the abilities of this adorable little character.

I suppose we should wish ourselves an early happy birthday! We don't want much for the Sunken Scoop's birthday presents, but if you came to hang out in our awesome Discord that would be very cool!
