I am working with a tiny team on an SCP game, and it’s early enough in development that we can implement some of the feedback from the community. Is there something that makes or breaks a game for you?
Tried to write something character/action focused :)
I would appreciate votes/feedback on the wiki, even if it's a downvote/novote.

[[[SCP-9791]]] - Wild Blue
more silly stupid SCP art! yay
felt like i havent drawn SCP art for a good minute so here is a quick one inspired by warandpeas (second slide) comic :3
>Update: Spooky Pictures has contacted us, and we are planning communications.
Hm. So firstly, who is Spooky Pictures? What are their (yes I’m referring companies as they later on, even if singular) place in the film? While A24 is way more frequently mentioned and bearing most proportions of blames/j, they are, rather, the financier of the film, meaning that they don’t really participate into production, depending on the definition. And that is the very point here: Spooky Pictures are the main production company here.
That could mean:
Either way, it’s pretty safe to assume that SP clearly know the License and what it do now.
However, it’s necessary to note that the progress is at most into a “negotiation” stage, instead of a guarantee. But tbh, I personally would say that it’s not likely to end up with a clear statement of not complying, going completely against the community, it simply just doesn’t make any sense to obviously be a dik towards exactly the target audience, that just pushes the PR cost to the skies. Or, is it?
Regardless, sounds like something is changing.
Like when you think about it the Foundation pretty much knows they're a fictional universe in any canon with pataphysics and while the degree to which that universe is fictional varies (Pickmann's Proposal for example) it's still a pretty goddamn hopeless scenario,especially for the 05, as they very well goddamn know that their mission is effectively impossible on account of some dude on the wiki deciding it would be really cool if the world ended.
Hello, I am making an SCP 087-IV exploration game, where you will do experiments and other stuff like in original file.
I need to know which, version looks better. First one is new, and second is the original.
Also, if you want, there is a video for original look.

Or video on how it looks now.

It's about a D class or multiple that get sent into a hole/pit and end up interacting with an entity. I think it was described as a black abyss or expanse of nothingness. It's not SCP-087, SCP-4040, SCP-2951, SCP-3930, SCP-2915, SCL-2922 or SCP-5007. I would really appreciate the help if it exists
Edited: I figured it out. Ended up being SCP-6500 (path of the thief) but I remember it definitely, probably did have a dream about it and changed it to fit what I wish it was. Thank you so much everyone that's helped and I've been given a lot of reading and listen to do from your suggestions and help. Thank you again and I hope you all have a fantastic day/night
I know there's no Canon in SCP but If I wanted to Start writing fanfiction or any kind of SCP stories, what are the most basically generally accepted or commonly agreed-upon details that I, as a beginner, should start with? Other Dimensions? Doctors? Characters? Settings? Facility History? Specific Sites? ect.
This is literally all I know:
i am saying purely because some of the stuff I have seen in this community is…. Lets just say. WILD. And I do not know how many of you are able to sleep soundly
Is being absolutely crazy a mandatory part of making an SCP?????
Obviously I am not saying I dislike any of it, I just don’t know how anyone comes up with the Scarier shit (like for example 4666, that one is “Deranged”)
Personally I really like it, nice simple art style, puts a spin with the story at the beginning and THEN talking about what the SCP is fully about! All I really dislike is that his thumbnails look AI generated (which they have for like 4-5 years lol) and the amount of Compilation videos he makes!
Cobbled together with some stock images, first time every properly photo editing so it’s obviously pretty terrible, any advice on how to improve or get better references to edit? Photo based on an Scp story I came up with as a kid, no clue if it’s something that’s similar to or already done tho. Hope this is the right sub!
SCP-9867: Baby Boomer Basking Shark, is the first SCP I've written and added to the wiki, so I'm quite nervous but very excited!
The article follows an anomalous sapient Basking Shark found off the coast of Staten Island that has the ability to speak, out loud, and can be heard from outside the water. This shark has approximate, albeit warped, knowledge of human society, and is found to be rather uncouth in behavior. I wrote the shark to represent a hypothetical toxic family member, and the staff's boundaries they inevitably need to produce for their safety are representative of the real-life boundaries needed when dealing with people like that.
As a bonus for those into science, I put in a great amount of detail on what’s different about the shark physiologically (trying to make it as scientifically accurate as possible, lol), in order to drive home the fact that it doesn’t take in all the details of its environment, only using what it sees with its eyes to judge things, metaphorically relating it to the type of person that lacks critical thinking skills and rushes to judgement.
This article I've been super excited to write (especially since the idea came from a literal fever dream about a month ago when I had the flu), and working with the Moth Squad on the SCP Discord for idea and draft critique was super fun as well.
I'd love any thoughts y'all would have, and hope you enjoy the read!
What SCP was SCP-990 talking about in Document 990-02?
I was reading SCP-990 again and got curious about the SCP he mentions in Document 990-02.
The designation is redacted, and he says that "she hasn't even been born yet."
Since the SCP Wiki has grown by thousands of articles since 990 was written.
Could the SCP he mentioned have originally been 2905, or was it just meant to be an unknown future SCP?
l've been interested in writing for the SCP Wiki for a while now, and I'm particularly drawn to the style of Series 1 and some of the earlier Series 2 material.
I'm not necessarily trying to recreate early SCPs exactly. What interests me is the relatively concise clinical presentation, combined with characters and lore that have more depth underneath the document.
I'm considering creating several anomalous characters and Foundation staff who could appear across SCP articles and Tales, with their own relationships and history, while keeping the actual SCP entries relatively straightforward.
For people who have written for or followed the SCP Wiki for a long time:
I'm still pretty much in the concept stage, so I'm mostly just trying to understand the current writing culture before I start developing anything seriously.
Anyway, thanks for reading! :)
Say, is someone from the cryptozoology department teams up with someone from the Tactical Theology department to investigate a cryptid that could be of demonic origin?
Here is the scene and an explanation of what is happening: beneath the sea.
The water at the seabed boils and ionizes. A plasma cavity forms around SCP-096, then collapses, releasing energy. It is like a continuous chain of micro-explosions along its path. Essentially, at that speed, every step the Shy Guy takes is... roughly speaking - an EXPLOSION.
His body displaces massive volumes of water, generating a tsunami wave that races toward the shore. The sand beneath and around him first melts, then partially vaporizes; as it cools, it solidifies into a dark-green glass crust containing white cristobalite crystals and branching fulgurites extending deep underground. Meanwhile, the water within the sand boils and explodes into steam, ejecting glass beads and debris. Within a radius of roughly 300-500 meters from the path, everything vaporizes and fuses into glass, while a lethal shockwave extends out to 2 - 3 kilometers. And right now, he is heading across... the inhabited continent of Europe...
The context here is also that, in my scene, the Shy Guy is terrified by the fact that multiple characters are looking at him simultaneously, he accelerates in proportion to the intensity of the fear and horror he feels upon realizing that so many minds are fixed on him at once. Unable to decide which way to run, he constantly shifts his trajectory, speeding up out of the sheer desperation filling his mind.
