SCP-173-B is now a consideration

Our SCP-173-B, one of the first major SCP-173 alternatives made in 2018 is now re-considered for being used inside of our game. SCP-173-B was made by one of our very talented artists, Ivo Francisco.

Originally made for the original SCP: Ascension, we put 173-B to the side and "forgot" about it for a while. It felt pretty disappointing from how well received the design was/is and how much we personally love the design.

If we end up not fully pursuing it, we'll let you guys know. But, we're currently very adamant about making this addition sometime in the mid-late Beta period. There is still a bit of a way to go

[h2]Basic lore[/h2]
SCP-173-B is an artificially-made clone of SCP-173. It is en route to Area 14 to be used in attacks on civilian populations in the nearby regions (under the SCP-5000 canon). He is temporarily located at Area 12 for temporary holding in the logistics chain.

[h2]Design summary of 173-B[/h2]

It's arms are completely dexterous (they are not stiff into the T and A poses). They will change position every time you blink or look away.
It will kill you if it enters your near proximity.
It cannot move if you are looking at it or not blinking.
You will only have the blinking HUD effect if you are directly looking at it (current plan, anyway).
It will only be in specific zones of Area 12.
It may have a temporary containment cell in the map you can access.
It will only attempt to attack you and your team on a timer.
It will be the only unkillable entity in the game.

Also, thanks for your guys' heavy support for this. Sheesh, that's nuts. ;)

Otherwise, if you would like to support us and gain Alpha access (soon to be Beta), you can do so here! :)[/h3]

We would also like to issue a direct, semi-sincere apology to the Church of Peanut for our blasphemy in using a non-Peanut version of SCP-173. It has no legal restrictions... so that's a bit of a plus.

Love,
Affray
