[h3][b]Greetings to all Nine-Tailed Fox soldiers![/b][/h3]
Welcome to our monthly Developer Log! This time we will show what we’ve been working on during April.
[i][u][b]Keep in mind that everything within the post is subject to change![/b][/u][/i]

[h2][b]Cooperative Mode delay[/b][/h2]
We have to start with some bad news. As we mentioned in the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1304510/view/3681165155947719344]previous Developer Log[/url], [u]Coop Mode is stressful for us to work on[/u]. After a long internal discussion, we’ve decided to [b]delay Coop Mode[/b] for a [u][b]future version[/b][/u]. It was a hard decision, as we’ve already made some progress with it. However, it turned out to be [u]harder than we thought[/u]. Many things such as NPCs or events have to be rewritten to make them work for it. This decision however allows us to release v0.3.0 sooner.
[h2][b]New SCPs to contain[/b][/h2]
We don’t want to leave you all with a lack of content for v0.3.0, so there are also some good news! Just like everybody asked, we’ve been working on [b]adding more containment procedures[/b] for [u]Classic Mode[/u]. Specifically: SCP-096 and SCP-049.
[h3][b]SCP-096 – The Shy Guy[/b][/h3]
In v0.3.0’s Classic Mode it will now be possible to [b]contain SCP-096[/b]! Don’t worry, you and your teammates are equipped with a pair of SCRAMBLE gears to get the procedure done easily and safely.
And yes, that also means the Shy Guy has it's own [u]containment chamber[/u] now!

The Shy Guy’s AI code [u]was rewritten almost entirely[/u] from scratch. Overall, he shouldn't get stuck as often anymore, especially when active. There is also a new behavior for him that you'll see during Campaign Mode!
[h3][b]SCP-049 – The Plague Doctor[/b][/h3]
We’ve also began on doing the [b]same thing for SCP-049[/b]! However, we can’t show much yet because we only started to work on it very recently. But expect him [u]to get contained[/u] within a cage too!
[h2][b]New Launcher Option[/b][/h2]
We’ve received [u]a lot of reports[/u] regarding an issue [u]where the integrated GPU gets selected[/u] by the game instead of the dedicated one. While we're unsure on how to efficiently fix it, we’ve decided to bring back [b]the GPU selection[/b] from SCP: CB as an alternative. You will be able to find it where the Display Mode once was. We [u]hope this will help our laptop users[/u] or anybody else who encountered this issue.

But you might ask yourself: [i]“Oh, but where is the Display Mode option now?”[/i] The answer is simple: The game now selects Fullscreen Mode if you select the same resolution as the Desktop resolution. If the resolution is less than that, then the game selects Windowed Mode.
[h2][b]Third Subdivision Studios Twitter account[/b][/h2]
The last thing we want to mention is that we’ve created an [b]official Twitter account[/b] for Third Subdivision Studios! We will be [u]sharing some small development news[/u], as well as [u]retweeting fan artwork[/u] from time to time!
