Its finally time for the competition to end and the winners to be announced however before that we have some other things to talk about.
The reception to this event has been amazing with hundreds of you submitting a multitude of content for the community to see and vote on. We have however been able to see where we "fall short" and we hope future events will go smoother.
Now then everyone likes statistics right? ... Right?

After a very long wait, we're happy to announce that MP2 is right around the corner and planned to release this month! We've now entered the Patreon beta phase, so If you can't wait to see what's in store - you can check out the trailer or you can test it out for yourself by becoming a Patreon!
Your favourite content creators will also be able to share the fun, so make sure to be on the lookout for whatever adventures they go on!
Hey, folks. We'd like to host a short Q&A session and give a special progress report today! On our Twitch channel at 5 PM UTC. Why not come meet us there? We'll be posting a reminder on our Discord
Megapatch II™ is nearing completion, but we will most likely not be able to release it before Halloween. Thus, we would like to give you a choice of what we should do.
Don't forget to let us know what you think in the comments or on our Discord server. In other news, Megapatch II has entered the next testing phase. To dispel the rumors, the update does not include the SCP-173 model change. More information about the new update can be found on our YouTube channel (where we're gonna show you the actual beta testing footage soon).

We have a small update from our wonderful Security Team for you :)
Hello there!
We have recently purchased a new central server, this new server is much more powerful than our previous one. We have upgraded the server to improve overall connection to servers and increase the player count in preparation for MP2. The server should be fully functioning within the coming days, we don't expect any downtime however if we do run into issues we apologize.
Recently we've been teasing you with a big change we're implementing in one of the next updates and a huge part of the community realized that we're planning to change the SCP-173 model. We've seen a lot of misconceptions and rumors related to that topic, so we'd like to explain the situation.
First things first, don't worry - the game will remain free and we are only changing the model because of legal issues. The appearance of SCP-173 is copyrighted and the original author is hard to reach. This is the exact reason why nearly all SCP games are changing it. We understand your attachment to the current model, but the law is the law - we don't want our game to be taken down, do we?
The other rumor was related to microtransactions. SCP:SL development is expensive, and that's not because we're hungry for money. The more solutions and professional software we use - the higher the costs. We want the future updates to be kept on the highest quality we can afford. Many games have started their crowdfunding sites, including ourselves. We currently have a Patreon page which is enough to cover most of our costs and keep the development going. We'd also like to grow, thus we are trying to stash some money away for a rainy day, or to make more projects in the future. Making a multiplayer game is a difficult task, and the majority of the staff works voluntarily. We are definitely not adding microtransactions in the next update, but we do believe in your understanding, that it might be needed in the future. We'd also like to add, that the new SCP-173 model was planned a long time before we ever thought about monetizing the game - these are two independent things. We want this system to not be invasive and to not affect the gameplay in any possible way, so we need to be very careful in terms of adding cosmetic items. We are making multiple discussions with our patrons and the rest of the community more and more often, so we'll be sure that everyone is satisfied with it.
Thanks for understanding Hubert Moszka (Northwood CEO)
