BTW how is the attack animation going to look like?

Hmm, I suppose your right on the fear factor; but I think if we went through the SCP wiki only picking out things that look like SCP-966's and Jeff the Killers, would it be that authentic? On the attack animation as well I was thinking they'll come charging fast with the ovipositor and try to stab the player.

Blender?

Yes, Blender 2.64a -- I started about mid-august this year and it's been a blast.

Couple of questions and an idea. After reading the article, I realize SCP:CB is "loosely based" to an extent, and in the article it states that they "They act with extreme aggression toward anything that moves" and "Both sexes are highly resilient to firearms, incendiary devices, and insecticides." Based off the latter, I came up with the idea that the SCP could be affixed to a select number of rooms, and in a "puzzle-like manner" you can switch off/lower the oxygen levels in the rooms that they are located in order to avoid certain death since "Asphyxiation by oxygen-deficient air has proven uniformly successful." The other option is that you can run past them, but they chase, maybe not as hardcore as SCP 096 style but in a horrifying buzzing, swarming state.

To make them slightly scary, I would make their sound effects loud as though they were crawling into your ears, and they should crawl across the screen too as big black silhouettes twitching and buzzing on the screen. That would make people a bit jumpy.

A loud buzzing noise with just a tiny bit of distortion inbetween should be enough.

I found a very good wasp sound effect on youtube, like WhiteAce said, distortion will make much more SCP-esque and creepy for gameplay. I hope you consider it. Has Regalis confirmed this for addition yet?

Great, Regalis is planning on implementing them soon, which will definitely ramp up the difficulty. I hope Regalis considers using that sound file, it's pretty good with the fade away and constant noise.

I think they should roam in a select few rooms but including some of the hallways, you wouldn't have a facility with insect free hallways. Something else though is you should be able to close doors without worrying about them opening the doors, so run through a hallway or a catwalk or something while being chased by them, then shut the door behind you on their faces while shitting bricks.

I think while they are surrounding you, you should have increased sprint untill you get away from them as if the player was in a "Panic" state.

If Regalis is most certainly contemplating putting them in, I'd be happy to provide some sounds. Some idle buzzing, and attacking noises? What I have in mind the noises themselves, would be metallic-like clicking noises. (see tracker jackers from THG movie for something similar) Edit: Here they are, the titles are probably self-explanatory as what they are necessarily. https://soundcloud.com/redacted-2/sets/ ... itic-wasps

I think they should be a bit more deadly. If you don't use a first aid kit on them, you'll receive messages like,

"The wound is swelling."

"There's something writhing under your skin."

"You feel a gnawing beneath the gash."

"Something is spreading."

Your screen will blur, and you'll limp as if you've been shot multiple times. Eventually, you'll get one last message, along the lines of,

"Something is making it's way past your ribs.", and you'll collapse.
