How would YOU make a good SCP game?

>>725511147 (OP)
same way I'd make a good 40k game, dont use the universe, use the things you like about it to inspire you to make a "just close enough" ripoff that gives you your own creative freedom in your own universe. lobotomy corporation did this with scp and void war did it with 40k and they're both great(if you ignore the dogshit lobcorp sequel(s))
contain corp is another that looks really promising

Base it on kino modern SCP, obviously.

>>725511303
I stopped reading SCP entries when the 4000 series began. What the fuck are these symbols and the "oversight index"?

I don't recognize 2/3 of these groups of interest. I feel old.

>>725511147 (OP)
I could just make my own organization that contains anomalies without having to walk on eggshells around the troons and drama queens who run this website.

>>725512350
Wait until you get to the JD Vance stuff and white people being invented by Yakub

>>725511243
>>725513332
Yeah, this is really the only correct answer. The SCP name has too much baggage (both political bullshit and lorefaggotry), you simply can't make a straight adaptation of it anymore. Just have it be a spiritual adaptation, like SOMA, Control, Lobotomy Corporation, etc

>>725513332
>>725513569
Starting a "wiki" of anomalous stuff is easy. Many have done it in the past and even I had ideas for a similar setting.
Having the will to go beyond the idea phase and start writing stories, and attracting more people who like the setting and expand it with more stories, that's the hard part where almost every attempt fails (see pic related).

>>725514106
We're not talking about wikis, we're talking about settings for video-games

>>725514106
It's not about a wiki, but making my own organization for my own setting which deals with anomalous objects and entities. I'd have full creative control without having to worry about some SCP author screeching that I didn't depict their sparkle horse OC correctly.

>>725511303
Why does JD Vance scare troonies so much?

Which ones? Especially the Yakub one. I know SCP is just a leftist shitposting website at this point but fucking Yakub of all things? Are these fags and troons that creatively bankrupt?

>>725514581
what in the fuck

>>725511147 (OP)
Make it a game where, instead of you being a slave in a facility or researching already caught monsters, YOU have to locate and capture them. I'd have procedurally generated levels with SWAT 4 type gameplay where you roll in as a Mobile Task force with varying levels of info on what you're getting yourself into with the goal to bag and tag the anomaly in the level and neutralize any rival organizations' forces that may or may not show up or be there already. I wouldn't have any of the famous SCPs save for a few for the tutorial levels so it’d catch players off guard. The anomalies could range from sentient, aggressive beings to like a beer can that leaks oil indefinitely.

>>725515062
It is a commentary.

>>725511147 (OP)
SCP Containment Breach exists. Secret Laboratory doesn't count since it's just Multiplayer slop.

>>725511303
Isn't there already another SCP revolving around Trump? Like, the Foundation was forced to facilitate Trump's rise to presidency to stop an apocalyptic anomaly or something. How do these two SCPs fit together?
>there is no canon
Back in my day, every SCP article was canon. It was the tales and other supplementary material that was considered "expanded universe". But I guess they changed that at one point and now we can have 400 conflicting "orange man bad" articles because fuck worldbuilding and consistency

>>725511147 (OP)
I'd wanna do it like the website itself, with contributions from different individuals or groups over time. Give lots of creative freedom so they don't need a lore bible. Maybe you pay once and get access to it as it grows. Would keep all the scps from getting homogenized by one devs style both design and gameplay wise

>>725511147 (OP)
Imagine resident evil 4, but in SCP-610's village

>>725515327
That's called Dead Space

>>725511147 (OP)
like this

>>725511147 (OP)
XCOM style game where you choose between SCPMTF, GOC or CI and you dispatch fireteams, science research or agents of across the world containing, destroying, capturing or spreading SCP's. Build up your secret underground base, use SCPs to improve your teams skills, base capabilities or assist with back end logistics, pic related.

This shit looked cool, but the bitch dev put it on Next Fest and never released a demo

>>725514776
>>725511303
I think I get it; thst entry itself is the actual entity, bizarre shit.

Third person character action following the ouroboros lore

That said even the good scps are not good videogame material, its better as a mini series or a movie, like all the stories from 055 they got kino potential

>>725511147 (OP)
Isn't scp just a collection of a bunch of retards oc donut steels? Just do whatever the fuck you want and call it scp

>>725511243
Containcorp is looking like pretty much exactly what i'd want out of a SCP game.
I'd probably give it more of a Black Mesa / Space Station 13 style, with an emphasis on ghetto backyard science and wacky experiments that can escalate into catastrophes if you're not careful. Maybe have rewards for the more insane experiments you do. For example you try microwaving the legally-distinct Lament Configuration and accidentally open a portal to hell. A couple employees are dragged into the lake of fire, but you get a new technology that lets you save money by powering the lab with damned souls or something.

>>725511303
There are still good articles, sometimes
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7034

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2193

If for some reason people decide all the quirky OC and trannyshit needs to be done away, it would be trivial to expand this scp and just say all the tranny shit were fake entries and classify the lgbt mind virus as its own entry, infohazard spread though discord and anime pictures that makes you believe you are a woman kek.
Old scp was never good btw

>>725516178
What's with these additional classes? When did the site add them?

Abiotic Factor

Your answer is either Control or Abiotic factor depending on your level of autism.

>>725516527
They added them years ago when hypertext meta-narrative bullshit and alternate continuities/hubs got really popular around the 4000-5000 series era, everyone wanted to do fancy snowflake bullshit so they raised the baseline level of bullshit (I don't think you HAVE to use it but it seems like the new standard format)
I'm sure you can look up what the extra bullshit means but I never paid it any mind, you don't need to worry about it

>>725516212
The Department of Continuity, with classics such as https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8474

>>725511147 (OP)
Just remake Lobotomy Corporation again but with SCP.

how come no one in these threads ever mention lobotomy corp?
it's the one and only good SCP game

>>725517393
I have not played anything past Lobotomy Corp but it just looks like the setting turned into Manhwa Leveling Fixerslop later on. Its a shame because I like the SCP aspect of the setting more.

>>725517393
>no one in the thread mentions lobcorp
>literally half of the thread

>>725517527
i sorta agree
lobcorp felt like a truly once in a lifetime unique game.
and im kinda sad the the devs decided to go with generic weaboo trash with ruina onwards.
atleast lobcorp still kinda has a cult following and tons of fanart made

>>725517708
there was only 1 post that only posted a picture of lobcorp.
and i didnt see it when i made my post

>>725517227
Obviously the article is retarded, but I think what the bigger issue is the website is now an environment where complete dogshit like this isn't deleted on sight, but openly encouraged because it sends the right messages such as
>woooow conservatism is evil
>wooooow what if the not-scp foundation had a concentration camp for women who wanted abortions
>wooooooow fuck donald trump amirite

It's so fucking boring.

Ok, what if SCP.....but touhou?

>>725518059
That's fucking epic.

>>725516178
Felt like an older article, nice.

I want a game where you study STALKER artifacts, anomalies, and generally the Zone.

Just pick a bunch of SCPs with more clearly defined containment procedures and build a level around securing them.
Start with something like the Old Man where you have to get a D-Class into the Shin Cracker.
Then maybe My Cousin Johnny or "someone cracked open a copy of Star Signals".
The big lizard can be one that's straightforward, but difficult.

>>725516162
rimworld's anomaly dlc has some cool shit like this but nothing too in-depth, it's fun to play with but not a lot of mods add more anomalies so it's kind of explored once you're done with it. something like that/lobcorp/containcorp that's got a "roguelite" element going on where the monsters do different shit every time you see them would be super cool, with more of an emphasis on finding out what they do as a core mechanic rather than "you do it once and now you know forever"

>>725518059
Unironically a good idea

I just read through the discussion page of SCP-9009 and how can these retards claim that it attacks both leftists and right wing when it's just "le bashing on ze fascists!!!!"?

>>725518592

>>725511147 (OP)
What happened to site 13 crpg similar to underrail.

>>725511147 (OP)
Something akin to Space station 13.
Most players work in the facility - they need to maintain everything, placate the anomalies, and conduct research.
Then you have multiple antagonist roles working to sabotage the facility, retrieve something, or complete other objectives.
Some antagonists are infiltrators, some are overt, some are mundane, some are supernatural, some are external, some are anomalies trying to break containment.

>>725515398
wishlisted, thx 4 sharing

>>725511147 (OP)
Gacha idle battler.

I liked SCP when it was just anomalous objects/creatures instead of reality ending elder gods and all that bullshit. It’s not fun when the SCPs are so OP that the Foundation can’t contain it and/or has to use other SCPs to combat it. Basically, the only good SCPs are the ones that you can realistically interact with in SCP Containment Breach or Secret Lab. Really just series I and II and SOME of III is what I consider to be the only real SCPs. Everything after is just dumb or complicated for the sake of being complicated.

>>725518059
Will it actually work, though.

Good shit

if you want a good scp game try lobcorp

>>725518428
Anomaly had some cool ideas but i didn't like that the containment boiled down to "shoot it until it falls down and then strap it to a milking table", i wish i could build them dedicated rooms so they can wander around. I was very disappointed that the fleshmass nucleus just gives you inedible meat, i would have loved to make my own tamed fleshbeasts even if it came with risks.

Also containment was a huge hassle because every literally other mental break was Entity Liberator, and they went straight for the revenants every fucking time

>>725519362
No

I enjoy SCP secret labs even doe its f2p repetitive round based slop

>725519270 CONT.
I also miss when the Foundation felt more grounded in the world. Possessing advanced technology but nothing ridiculous. The facilities being modern but not straight up science fiction. Not sure if I’m making sense here. I’m very tired. I just miss when SCP was more simple. It was scarier when it was less sci fi.

>>725520152
tf2 is round based and isn’t slop THOUGH

>>725520193
nah, I get it. Recent SCP's are all about these memetic time oscillation killing fields, or some mixture of a Scranton reality anchor and an AI computer that from 1985 that keeps track of multiple universes in order to keep the baseline universe safe. It's dumb, it's overly complex without being interesting. Meh

>>725514106
It's a genre so niche that it could only be done once. Crying shame it was hijacked so spectacularly.

>>725520152
Yeah it was pretty good at release. But when they started calling SCP-172 "peanut" I knew it was over.

>>725520592
>scp 172

Is there a writing community of spooky/weird things that has a somewhat cohesive lore/meta/system and isn't polluted with faggots obsessed with referencing modern sociopolitical issues or straight up treating it like their tumblr/deviantart blog with shitty overpowered OCs and personal trauma?

>>725520637
OFF BY ONE

>>725520463
The reality changing shit from Foundation side is just silly more often than not, it works in one-off articles as last resort shit but by now they just took the place of God and are telling other universe invaders to fuck off

Was adding humanoids a mistake?

>>725520152
Post your tuntia

>>725520906
yes

>>725520906
No

>>725520906
Maybe

>>725518428
It only changes how you identify an anomaly, by its behavior rather than by name/appearance.
It's really hard to make the unknown repetitive. Maybe the best way to experience it is to play a bunch of little streamer bait horror games on steam. Just rapid fire em. That will keep you guessing. And broke.
>>725519479
Rimworld needs Anomaly 2 that addresses these criticisms and adds more baddies. Tynan is the kind of guy to revisit and fix goofs. Maybe he'll do it at a high level.

>>725520906

I'm so happy this didn't win the 9000 contest. But the fact that it got this big of a rating tell me a lot about the modern SCP reader.

>>725512350
>What the fuck are these symbols
Anomaly Classification System (ACS). It was created a few years ago by someone who thought that just the containment class was not enough information, which I agree with. It usually looks something like this.
>"oversight index"
I think this is an inversion of that article.

Play SCP 5K. Or not. It's a pretty generic shooter set in SCP 5000. Meant to be multiplayer only, so it kind of sucks in singleplayer since there are no saves, you just lose your equipment and respawn at the last checkpoint.

>>725511147 (OP)
Anno Mutationem was actually a good game which happened to be heavily based on SCP. Surprised no one has mentioned it. Awesome graphics style, comfy settings, fantastic music, fun characters, and a lot of Evangelion / Half-Life / Montauk / Stranger Things - style paranormal other-dimensions stuff going on combined with cyberpunk. The combat is janky and the bosses are a bitch but the trick is to make a lot of money with the bar tending minigame so you can buy superior weapons and upgrades to properly counter them. Otherwise, the ultra easy mode was thrown in with a patch so you can still beat the game if it's just too hard. Picrel is an example of the game's visuals.

>>725525228

I REALLY enjoy the atmosphere of Antarctica but holy fuck is the game punishing with the checkpoint system. I've yet to fully complete it because I got towards the end with the boss thing, it killed me and the last checkpoint was like 2 hours ago, so I quit.

>>725511147 (OP)
How about a xcom-like tactical game where you play as SCP Mobile task forces or similar groups and your missions will he around either capturing SCP objects on loose or recapturing SCP objects that breached their contaiments.

Outside your regular armed forces you will also use D-class personel, specific scientists(ones related to specific SCP) or even other SCPs.

The most important way to make a good SCP game is to absolutely never use a single SCP from the wiki.

>>725531551

I'd make a game based on playing as Gamer Against Weed.

>>725511147 (OP)
Abiotic Factor officially came out in the summer, so I'd just say that.
All it needs is the final couple of areas to be nerfed a bit and made less grindy and it would be perfect. Maybe also a slight re-write to make it less obvious you're being played by the villain too.

This shit is fucking insane and I thought looking through their twitter with the erp and furry fucking was bad

I recently have been nostalgic for Containment Breach and have been rewatching/replaying it to find it to be more enjoyable, yet still suffering the same issues when I last played almost a decade ago.
I want to read and actually invest some time into the SCP foundation and its "lore". What should my mindset be going in? Any good SCPs to read? How the fuck do I find the original versions of 106, 048, 096, etc? Is it worse than its creepypastas in its hayday?
>muh trannies and shit
Asking for recommendations not shitflinging, we know the political SCPs are garbage

>>725511147 (OP)
It's ridiculously easy, yet nobody does it.
No, that shitty VN with the skullmask-wearing human doesn't count.

>>725511303
This is kinda lame, not scary at all

>>725533970
Didn't you find it hilarious and politically poignant?

There really isn't much of a way to make a game about it nowdays, entirely because almost every single new and old, now rewritten scp is an overpowered oc with the powers to one-shot god and/or a tranny self-insert that is just the author's fetish.
>>725516465
