SCP: Nine-Tailed Fox

You are a leader of Foxtrot Unit 1 "Nine-Tailed Fox", a highly trained force tasked with re-containing a multitude of terrifying anomalous monsters that have broken loose inside of a top-secret research facility.

[h3][b]Greetings to all Nine-Tailed Fox Members![/b][/h3] Welcome to our latest Developer Log! As we dive into the spooky season, it’s only fitting that we’re bringing you some exciting updates on this ominous [b]Friday the 13th[/b]! We’ve been hard at work improving the game, ironing out bugs, and prepping for what's ahead. So, buckle up for the latest news about [b]SCP: Nine-Tailed Fox[/b]! [hr][/hr] [h2][b]New Update - Version 0.2.11: Bug Fixes and Stability[/b][/h2] In this update, we've focused on addressing [b]key issues[/b] reported by the community and improving the overall [b]stability[/b] of the game. From resolving [b]crashes and freezes[/b] to improving [b]networking and gameplay mechanics[/b], this update aims to create a [b]smoother[/b] and more enjoyable experience for all players. Below, you'll find a detailed breakdown of the most notable changes. [h3][b]Updated Netcode[/b][/h3] To enhance [b]multiplayer performance[/b], we’ve made several important updates to the game’s [b]networking[/b]. We’ve integrated [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/multiplayer/steamdatagramrelay]Steam Datagram Relay[/url], which improves connection stability, especially for players in [b]high-latency situations[/b]. Additionally, we’ve introduced a [b]latency display[/b] next to the FPS counter. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047451/02c83ce68fe9bd92897d1b5916510d40ec8f2ed2.png[/img] This indicator changes color based on the current latency value, providing players with better real-time insight into their [b]network connection[/b]. [h3][b]Improvements for Night Vision Goggles[/b][/h3] We've implemented several improvements to the [b]Night Vision Goggles[/b], focusing on both [b]functionality[/b] and [b]user experience[/b]. The visibility of [b]text[/b] and [b]battery charge indicators[/b] has been enhanced when using the blue version of the goggles, ensuring that [b]vital information[/b] is more clearly displayed. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047451/9898c73451155c3a6e9c48aede4fcc1f2c9937ad.png[/img] The [b]font size[/b] has also been scaled down for both the blue and green goggles to ensure better [b]readability[/b] during gameplay. Finally, a bug that caused the Night Vision Goggles to update their stats, like battery charge, even when the game was paused has been [b]fixed[/b]. [h3][b]Critical Bug Fixes[/b][/h3] In this update, we've addressed a number of important issues to enhance overall gameplay. Several [b]critical bugs[/b] were addressed, including a freeze that occurred when NTF teammates entered search mode in areas like [b]SCP-049's chamber[/b], as well as a crash related to saving in [b]SCP-205's containment area[/b]. These fixes should greatly improve [b]stability[/b] during critical moments. Additionally, we've made various other improvements and [b]optimizations[/b] to further smooth out gameplay and fix minor issues that have been reported. The update is [b]NOW available[/b] for download and the full changelog can be found here: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1304510/view/4598826212612661235]https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1304510/view/4598826212612661235[/url] [hr][/hr] [h2][b]Sneak Peek Into v0.3.0[/b][/h2] As we continue working on [b]version 0.3.0[/b], we’re excited to share a couple of new features that will enhance your [b]gameplay experience[/b]. These updates bring fresh elements to the game, giving you even more [b]control and immersion[/b] during your missions. Here's a glimpse of what’s coming! [h3][b]Classic Mode: Containment Status Bar[/b][/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047451/9579788da50e4ebc8d85e54e74939fa3dcad3f83.png[/img] We've added a [b]status bar[/b] in Classic mode that appears when containing SCPs. This handy feature allows players to monitor the [b]progress[/b] of the current containment effort. If the player goes too far away, the containment would stop. [h3][b]Nine-Tailed Fox Speed Boost[/b][/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047451/23f98094cfe6addee3b575e76ec4232f276e9a6b.png[/img] Our teammates have hit the gym and are now in top shape! They've gained the ability to [b]run alongside[/b] the player, matching your [b]speed[/b]. This improvement means your backup is never too far behind, ready to assist whenever needed. [h3][b]Localization Transition: Moving from Crowdin to Weblate[/b][/h3] In an effort to improve our [b]localization process[/b] and work more closely with our [b]community[/b], we’ve transitioned from Crowdin to [b]ZiYue Weblate[/b], a platform now hosted by our dedicated community members. This move not only allows for more efficient [b]translation management[/b] but also gives our passionate players an easier way to contribute to localizing [b]SCP: Nine-Tailed Fox[/b]. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41047451/2440d2f34b5a5b47983ae021163559e20dd8d862.png[/img] We believe this shift will result in more [b]accurate[/b] and timely updates for all language versions of the game, and we’re excited to see how this [b]collaboration[/b] improves the [b]global experience[/b]!
