Just giving a heads up, the upcoming update - still due for late October - will be split in 2 (or more) parts. The first update available this month will be This Is Why Update 1. Update 2 will likely come sometime next year (est. Jan or Feb, but TBD). Update 1 is planned to have the Psi-Z Resonator, potentially SCP-098, and a lot of level work for a in-house SCP we have been working on (will be in the Area 12 Cinema). In terms of level design and no special mechanics (for now), we will have some SCP-1262 instances present. Maps like Hunt and Area 12 have seen massive improvements with more to come, we may also be deciding on an official map name for "Hunt: Sweden" now that it's a certain mainstay. We will also be sporting the initial melee system in this upcoming update. :) We've been going pretty ham on development since Thrill of the Hunt, lots of backend changes that are hard to spot with the naked eye, but enable us to carry out these updates' content and more to come beyond them. We will also be potentially announcing a big vote regarding SCP: Pandemic in the weeks after the first update, assuming it passes the initial Backer poll. :) Update 2 plans will be announced after its goals are decided on. ❤️ Thanks everyone!
