SCP: 5K (Alpha Testing) News

https://store.steampowered.com/app/872670/SCP_Pandemic_Early_Access/

This patch has made P2P once again functional with only minor unreliabilities that will be improved over time. We have discovered and fixed number of issues regarding this from the recent updates, and we apologize for the inconveniences it may have caused to those who wanted to test our project with friends and other players in the recent Thrill of the Hunt update.

Thank you all for your patience, it means the world to us.

• Lobby owners now automatically host when a user joins

• Added support for lobbies joining passworded servers (still not 100% reliable)

Want to help bring SCP: Pandemic to its fullest potential? We are looking for 3D Artists for creatures and environmental threats!

We want to make the best tactical horror experience possible. ❤️

We are conceptualizing ideas on several new SCPs to integrate into our upcoming content push ― and finally layering more content on top of the framework laid for SCP: Pandemic, in a pretty significant effort to become a far more interesting game (and story) to experience.

We will be elaborating on some existing (and incoming) plans in a video we will be releasing onto YouTube sometime this month.

Otherwise, we still retain the need to expand our collaboration team to take up the needed bandwidth needed for content delivery. Interested? Email us.

P.S. Thank you to everyone who supported us during the Summer Sale! You have really helped with ensuring we are able to start hiring even more talent for the ongoing content push. :)❤️❤️❤️
