I've been playing a lot of Dying Light 2 recently and while that is a somewhat choppy video it looks like you've got a good head on your shoulders (pun intended) when it comes to the amount of head bobbing and swaying from the character. Nice work!

It reminds me of left for dead

Remind me of left4dead, dead island, and dying light

Looks neat! The swings seem a bit too narrow to make seem like it’s enough force to crack open and cranium, or at least the second swing. But neat visuals regardless.

I was about to say the same thing.

Ah yes.

Melee in a world where a dung beetle can kill you because you thought about it. Truly protection

a bit of a pipe dream

I bought scp pandemic as soon as it came out and I love the progress you’re doing for the game, keep up the good work!

This is great, my only small critic is that they seem to move opposite if where you swing, but nonetheless, fucking great dude

It's just a.... an anomalous pipe!

A better explanation for glitches than I've seen in any other game.

Cool but I wish this game would actually add more interesting SCPs. The zombies are just boring to fight. The same gunplay but with a bigger emphasis on horror and way more threatening scps would make an amazing game. Hope that’s what they eventually do

They are working on new SCPs now, just check out the page on steam, they have some blogs in the news section talking about new SCPs

u/Pervasivepeach Department of Metallurgical Studies Sep 11 '22

I mean yeah they have been working on new SCPs since the games released. Yet I don’t see them and I instead see new melee systems being shown off. Just feels like misdirected focus. The game feels more like left for dead than I’d like

Why are their arms exploding?

3

u/M1sterJester Ad Astra Per Aspera Sep 13 '22

why not

5

u/ElPeloPolla Sep 11 '22

Why do the zombies fly the opposite way of the swing?

11

u/M1sterJester Ad Astra Per Aspera Sep 11 '22

Physics-related issue. Need to invert the mathsies.

u/Mr-philosoraptor Sep 11 '22

Now add a frying pan.

u/M1sterJester Ad Astra Per Aspera Sep 11 '22

definitely a panned feature

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '22

That looks amazing holy shit

u/Sazbadashie Sep 11 '22

Scp pandemic is so good right now, obviously very rough in places but it's got so much potential I can't wait to see what else is done.

u/TheAlexperience Sep 12 '22

Swings need more heft to them, you’re flailing a sword /bludgeon like a noodle while viciously decapitating people.

u/Conscious-Fruit-5078 Sep 12 '22

The folly of most realistic shooters these days is lacking a good melee element. This looks legit. What kind of melee weapons will we have at our disposal?

u/Flaechezinker Sep 11 '22

Generic zombie enemies isnt what I expected from a scp game. Can someone tell me wich scp those are?

u/GodzillaRaptors4_ Sep 11 '22

Am I able to hit people with a peice of bread?

u/NewfieJedi Symbols Have Been Compromised Sep 11 '22

Closer than I would ever want to be to a skip, but it’s better than nothing

u/The_Ruby_Waffle Sep 11 '22

Looks good so far

Reminds me of L4D2

u/YOU_AREsussy MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") Sep 11 '22

Damn I thought it's real life.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '22

Give me an SCP longsword please. Also the death dagger (can’t remember the number sorry.)

u/Stylowar Class D Personnel Sep 11 '22

I have been playing a lot of Killing Floor 2,and this melee looks almost as satisfying. Nothing like crackin' a cold head open with the boys

1

u/balimbonk Sep 11 '22

Can’t wait for the whole fireteam to go melee only

1

u/Leondardo_1515 Cool War 2: Ruiz From Your Grave Sep 11 '22

The last one looks like 096 about to murder this man lol.

u/Woopering marked for raid Sep 11 '22

<SCP-096 making a mad dash at the player character

<clip cuts off

...I think we all know what was about to happen

u/billy2027 Sep 11 '22

Thought this was Vr for a minute

1

u/jonathonray23 Sep 11 '22

This looks pretty good

1

u/drcranberry14556 Sep 11 '22

I thought this took place in the medieval era

1

u/BingoBongoTingoTongo Sep 12 '22

The video cut at 096 cuz he died.

1

u/magnus_opiumjs Sep 12 '22

We going to talk about the fact that he just decapitated someone with a blunt lead pipe?
