SCP: Secret Laboratory News

We’re back with another Creation Contest where you get to show off your unique talents and magnificent creations. Like previous years, there are seven categories and the winner of each category will receive the selected rewards.

If you are not familiar with the event, here are the categories:

• Artwork
  
• Music
  
• Video
  
• Literature
  
• Meme

Some of you may notice that there are only six categories listed. This is because the runners-up of each category will be placed in a final category, where Northwood Staff will pick their favourite entry.

Hello everyone!

We here at Northwood Studios have a special announcement to make. We’ve partnered with Makeship in order to bring you your very own SCP-096 plushie!

Makeship has worked with some incredible creators in the past and as such we’re proud knowing this plushie is of the highest quality. Now this is a pre-order meaning the product will only be made if we reach 200 sales, if this isn’t reached then don’t worry anyone who pre-ordered will get a refund.

Pre-orders are only available until Friday 19th of November at which point you’ll no longer be able to get this limited edition plushie. If you want to get one for yourself check out this link: https://shop.makeship.com/3bldYaY

We hope everyone enjoys them as much as we do and until next time, have a fantastic day.

[h2]Hello everyone![/h2]

Another hotfix has just been released, containing a few bugfixes and a few adjustments to candies.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

• Fixed a few issues with the Lantern, including weird physics in elevators.
  
• Adjusted some of the candies:
  - Blue candy: AHP will be removed entirely after exiting the marshmallow form.
  - Yellow candy: Speed buff is now 150% (increased from 120%) but lasts only for 5 seconds.
  - Green candy: You can jump even higher, and the penalty is reduced.
  
• Fixed most of the warnings about missing components (which used to spam the client log).
  
• Fixed Marshmallowman being able to randomly damage itself.
  

Please note this update is compatible with the previous versions. It may take some time for the aforementioned adjustments to appear on all servers.
