Curious how the SCP is coming along!

[6736ecb891d43voodoo47]

Did you change the spider alert sound on purpose?

the alert itself is a mistake. gameplay wise, the player is not there, the sequence is playing in his head, so the spiders have no reason to react to him.

[6736ecb89204aMarvin]

I know. Still, I like the sound in that sequence.

[6736ecb8921bbvoodoo47]

I may add it later, but right now, I'm trying to NOT get into another round of fixes, for the sake of the first SCP release happening before my beard starts to get grey.

that being said, maybe it's time for a small progress report - I have marked earth, station, eng, medsci, hydro, ops, and rec as "ready for the beta1 release".

Thanks for the update, voodoo47.

May I ask you whether or not this SCP project of yours could have partly been feasible even without the advent of the NewDark engine?

[6736ecb89241fvoodoo47]

it would be partially possible (not all fixes are NewDark dependent), but much more time consuming. the NewDark Shocked reduces the time required to apply the fixes manyfold.

Great news, thanks for the update!

I think that many sequence is better with the spiders hissing. Makes it more intimidating. Though I can recall once getting killed by a spider or 2 during one of those sequences during a play through. Only ever happened the one time, but still.

[6736ecb892725voodoo47]

I'll see whether I'll be able to re-add a hiss or two.

[6736ecb892864ZylonBane]

I thought he purpose of the Many sequence was to get Goggles to join, not to intimidate him.

[6736ecb892932voodoo47]

maybe to intimidate him into joining?

[6736ecb892bb8Olfred]

It could just be spiders to hiss randomly for no specific reason.
Or maybe they are just having a little chat.

[6736ecb892e84RocketMan]

I vote for a light chat.  Otherwise they seem kinda sad or braindead

[6736ecb8930bavoodoo47]

added some hissing at the beginning.

[6736ecb8931a2Olfred]

definitely makes it livelier

[6736ecb8932dcvoodoo47]

it makes the player look at the spiders as they are exiting the orifice - I consider that a good thing.

[6736ecb8933b7icemann]

Much better

[6736ecb893498Marvin]

Much better, also with the fog. Now let the Rumbler do a dance.

[6736ecb8935bbvoodoo47]

aww crud, forgot to disable the fog. was supposed to be a surprise. ah well..

So, umm, sorry to interrupt, but is there really an estimated time for the SCP release? I've been checking the forums almost everyday for a couple of month at least, and it has been "coming soon" for a really long time (you know it better).

[6736ecb893899voodoo47]

it's close - as mentioned before, all decks below Command are pretty much done.

but sorry, no release date, as I'm pretty sure if I were to give one out, it would backfire into my face spectacularly.

[6736ecb8939c4Dizzy]

I haven't posted in a while, but I have been keeping an eye out on the forum. Really love the fog in that sequence by the way!

Keep it up guys, take as long as you need. (feel free to link me an unfinished version in a pm)

How about I give a release date, and if I end up being wrong.. you don't have to worry about it?
