- Update On Progress and Status of SCP:FF - 30 September 2025
Hello Everyone,Phonicz here, the developer of SCP:FF. I wanted to take the time to address the progress on the game and the lack of updates. Over the last while, I have taken a radical change in my life to pursue a new career and new industry. This has delayed myself working on the game for a while.The game is still being worked on when I can, but since it is only myself and a small team that occasionally is able to help when they have time, I cannot promise a exact ETA of when the game will come out.As of this moment, the game is officially shelved and will continue to be worked on by myself as much as I can when I can. I will continue to update you all with progress. I am sorry it has come to this point, but life always changes for us, and the most important thing is to keep the people around you.ALL patreon supporters have been refunded, as well as the patreon has not been accepting…
- 2022 Roadmap, Updates, Public Beta Testing News, and more. - 6 February 2022
Hello Everyone, Firstly, I sincerely apologize for the delays in updates, and the delays in publishing the game. Today im going to go over some concerns you guys have voiced, as well as give you some more insight / updates into the game. So recently, over the past few months we have been finalizing multiplayer aspects of the game, adding in functionality like leaderboards, voice chat, custom role names, and server configuration files. This has taken quite a bit longer than expected due to some headaches that have come up, but it has been mostly completed and is working well. We anticipate release in the next forecoming months, but cannot give a exact date as of now sadly. That date will depend on the q/a and public testing. With that being said, the next step for us is finishing off the game in terms of polish, animations, models, and testing. We will be undergoing that for a short peri…

Hello Everyone, First off, I want to thank you all for your patience and dedication, Our wishlist count and follower count has gone up hugely over the past few months, and I appreciate every single one of you! You probably expected the game to be out by now, and trust me we did too.

Pickup system overhaul. New text and pickup code to perform smoother on servers. COMPLETE overhaul of the procedural generation system.

- November DevBlog - 1 December 2020
Hello SCP : FF Community! Phonicz here, the Lead and Solo dev for the game. I'm here to tell you about all the work we've done over the past month, and what we have in store for future updates in the next few months. You may have also noticed that there was not a lot of map updates / visual improvements this month. That is because we spent a week and a bit at least improving core gameplay / core functionality of the game. We thought this was necessary time spent to improve the playing experience later. As well as a lot of time was spent optimizing code and the game in general. Nonetheless we have some exciting updates listed below. Major Gameplay Changes Completely reworked the shooting system to give a realistic option and a more arcade style option. The new overhaul of weapon mechanics also comes with a brand new clean and minimal HUD, meant to give a cinematic view to the game when n…
