Chapter 02 Development Deep Dive: New Zones, Enemies & Mechanics!May 28, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! Since the last update, we have been hard at work creating the new environments, characters, and enemies that will be making their way into Chapter 02. Things have been going awesome, so let's get into the new content! The Overseer's and Secretary's Office: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b2d8d4_5f00c75806584636858fee4db7a33e8e~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_4964,h_2886,al_c,q_90/b2d8d4_5f00c75806584636858fee4db7a33e8e~mv2.webp https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b2d8d4_4c940ee70ad54622989c6e113c02b716~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_4964,h_2903,al_c,q_90/b2d8d4_4c940ee70ad54622989c6e113c02b716~mv2.webp Locked away deep within the main area of the Central Hub lies the heavily brutalist Overseer's Office, nestled away behind the contrastingly mundane Secretary's Office. These are two critical locations you will explore after an extremely unique sequence. The information you'll uncover in these areas is not only extremely important to the story, but you will also gain access to one of the most useful tools in the entire game! The Camp Gate: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b2d8d4_85d767f13b7b4dbb8c8fc985a459cd34~mv2.png Sealing off the rest of the Residential Zone from the main interior of Aquaponics lies the Camp Gate. This is one of the few remaining entrances used to access the MTF Camp, which is led by Amanda, whom we saw in a previous update. The gate is heavily guarded by automated security systems, so stealth and timing are paramount in this area. Interrogation Room: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b2d8d4_9ee6c9de6d614638ba59b31eaf4e0a1e~mv2.png A frigid meat freezer located in a dark, desolate place serves as the perfect spot to "coerce" information out of would-be spies, traitors, and anybody else deemed a threat by what remains of the Foundation personnel left in Site-113. Residential Zone West Wing: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b2d8d4_86ee9876feab44b09733c6c4e4275797~mv2.png https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b2d8d4_b63dc71192284014ab6de799b03b2cac~mv2.png https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b2d8d4_2c7473363bb148b88d80aa13832dc214~mv2.png With most of the main architecture of the West Wing completed, we decided now would be a good time to experiment with what an external look at the inside of Site-113 would be like. This has culminated in a beautiful skybox that allows players to see every single zone within Site-113 from the inside of the Residential Zone, which is canonically located in the middle of the interior dome. There still needs to be lighting adjustments made, but the current lights from the skybox are accurate to the zone they represent and cast a very ominous but soft glow onto most of the external areas of the level. These will, however, be toned down and ultimately blended in a future update.

Since our last update, which you can find here, we have been developing some exciting new things we're eager to share with you all for Chapter 02, which is coming along very nicely and we're thrilled to share a couple of new sneak peeks: Security PDA Upgrade: Scanning Functionality We've been implementing new mechanics for the Security PDA. This upgrade introduces the ability to scan items and signs, which will be essential in Chapter 02 and beyond. Use it to gain more information, unlock hidden secrets, and even trigger secret missions that complement the main story! Meet Amanda: A Key Figure in Site-113 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/301d2bbd46ec66d2466ce59e4e4a5c0f2857afd5.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/23e33e6a767e347d8e14cd04d99420522e4526b4.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/bfb7f32d588c4118fe92ccac6451966c472a8f11.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/51eb1bcd08e8c3c14c16f4669aa1120bfbd5bca5.png Introducing Amanda, our newest NPC! She plays a crucial role in the story and will have some fascinating insights to share when you eventually meet her. We won't spoil too much, but she might be key to helping you unravel the mystery behind Site-113. We're planning some new cinematics over the next couple of weeks, including one showcasing a familiar SCP you all know and love! We're also preparing unique new cinematics and animations with SCPs you might not be as familiar with. Chapter 02 is shaping up to feature a wealth of new SCP content, and we are incredibly excited for you to experience the expanding world of Site-113! Take advantage of this great deal and grab the game now, and as always, we appreciate you leaving a rating! Thanks for your continued support, and we will see YOU in Chapter 02! The First 60 DaysMar 28, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsIt's been two months since the biggest event in our studio's history: the official Early Access launch of SCP: Fragmented Minds, and we could not be happier with the reception so far! The game is holding an incredible 93% positive rating on Steam with well over 600 reviews, completely blowing away our expectations. We want to thank everyone for the amazing support and also outline what players can expect in the upcoming months as we gear up for Chapter 02. Let's dive into what's coming! Reflecting on Chapter 01's Launch The launch for Chapter 01 went very well, and we were thrilled by the number of players, streamers, and YouTubers who decided to give the game a try! Watching people play live during that first week was extremely helpful. Combined with the feedback from the many players who joined our Discord and used the Steam discussion pages, we managed to patch out quite a few bugs very quickly! These critical bug reports helped significantly polish the experience, and we are truly grateful for everyone who played, provided feedback, or simply told friends about the project. Your contributions will continue to be extraordinarily valuable throughout the game's development, and we can't wait to bring you Chapter 02 and take this journey all the way to 1.0 and beyond! Chapter 01 Feedback https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77ff01_8e9ac68f09724584819384758667b0cc~mv2.gif The feedback we received on the first chapter was phenomenal and has helped immensely in planning the pacing, SCPs, and story elements that will feature in Chapter 02 and beyond. However, we have also made several changes to Chapter 01, set to be introduced in a small update shortly. These adjustments aim to improve tension, music, and environmental interactions, as well as hint at a particular character featured in upcoming chapters – we'll let you discover these specifics once the update is launched! As development continues, you can also expect some small adjustments to Chapter 01 to ensure everything lines up correctly with future content. Rest assured, the chapter itself won't see major changes to its story or encounters; most tweaks will focus on performance enhancements and atmosphere. Chapter 02's Plans About two months prior to launching Chapter 01, the team began working on Chapter 02. This next chapter picks up right where the first left off, finally letting players take their first steps into Site-113 – where the majority of the game will unfold. This is where we plan to introduce the rest of the story, crank up the horror, bring in SCPs you know and love (plus some new ones!), and introduce more gameplay mechanics that we are VERY excited about! Chapter 02 will feature several key new elements, which we'll go over below, alongside showcasing some new concept art and fresh environments.

We’re also super excited about the new weapon mod that’ll make crafting MUCH more rewarding in Chapter 01 and beyond! Below you can find a detailed list of all the fixes in patch v0.12: FixesSubtitles: Fixed an issue where subtitles would get stuck when listening to an audio log via a computer and not exiting before the log ended.Visuals: Corrected shadow rendering for equipped items. Fixed an issue where charged melee attacks played the same sound as normal attacks. Performance: Optimized Storage Room B to reduce lag spikes during loading. Greatly optimized overall CPU usage.

Below we have our first-ever hotfix for SCP: Fragmented Minds. We have been working extremely hard over the last week watching videos, reading reviews, and checking discussion posts to see the biggest points of pain for players and we have since edited some areas of the level and added various features that we think will address some of the biggest issues players were facing on Day 1. There will be a couple more patches for stuttering, general performance and more coming too so these are just the start to a slew of big fixes that will be in Chapter 01 and you can expect many more throughout the life of the game! NOTE: This update is NOT save compatible due to changes in the map, if you have a current save of the game -- make sure to play on New Game so you don't get locked by map changes conflicting with your save data! Bug Fixes and Improvements: Crashes and Stability: - Fixed 14 crashes across various areas of the game. - Applied a fix for sublevels sometimes failing to load. - Fixed an issue where a save could get corrupted in the Skybridge area. AI Behavior: - Fixed an issue where the Elder and Scout AI would constantly shuffle when trying to rotate toward the player while directly in front of them. - Fixed AI visual detection through walls. - Fixed an issue where the Elder would send the player to a random location during the tackle attack. - World objects (e.g., fire extinguishers) now properly alert AI when hitting walls or the ground. - Explosions now correctly alert nearby AI. Gameplay and Interactions: - Improved door interactions: Doors can now be closed by looking through the frame. - Fixed power core sockets not loading correctly under certain conditions. - Increased wrench range by 20 centimeters. - Fixed an issue where the inventory could disappear after the collapsed hallway cutscene. - Dev Note: This was a rare but serious issue that we couldn’t reproduce internally. As a safeguard, we’ve added a save spot before the cutscene, creating a separate save slot players can return to if their inventory disappears. - Exiting a computer screen playing an audio log no longer stops the audio log. - Starting a different audio log from the game menu while another is playing will now stop the currently playing log. - Removed an extraneous button from the Parking Garage. - Removed interaction prompts and lights from most of the Hangar’s doors. - Fixed an issue where the energy drink was healing instead of restoring stamina, as described. UI and Accessibility: - Added an option for keyboard users to customize PDA input bindings. - Improved elevator interaction text to clarify when there’s no power or if the elevator is in motion. - Added hints to the Codex for better player guidance. --- World Polish and Improvements: Environment Detailing: - Added more detail to the Gen Room, including papers on the floor in security/office rooms, grunge in empty areas, and objects on previously empty shelves. - Adjusted the blue lights in the Se...Hotfix V0.11 is Coming!Jan 31, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone!

We've partnered with Indie.io!Aug 8, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! We’re stoked to announce that we are officially partnering with indie.io! Wait -- what does a publisher do? For those of you who may not know, working with a game publishing platform like indie.io greatly helps indie developers focus on game development while they handle all the behind-the-scenes magic. From helping manage store pages to crafting marketing campaigns and even helping the game shine at both digital and live events, indie.io helps in all the aspects that indie developers often struggle with alone. Why did you choose indie.io? While we had several offers from various publishers, we decided to go with indie.io since other developers on games we are familiar with mentioned they were very easy to work with and helped them reach more players through console porting and localization among other things. When we first approached indie.io they were extremely serious about taking the game to the next level right off the bat, and they actually gave us some really insightful information about the current gaming world even before we decided to partner with them – so the choice for us was pretty clear. During the initial talks we were having with them, there was a real interest in what SCP was as a whole too, and seeing this interest in the SCP community was awesome since we think this shared context will help us create and share the best version of SCP: Fragmented Minds that there can be to you. We’re quite excited to have this partnership and hope that we can reach new players outside of those familiar with SCP and give them something that’s a great, high-quality introduction to the world and creatures that we’ve all come to know and love.

Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/3eBHnru April/May Polish UpdateJun 5, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! These last two months have mainly focused on playtesting and creating/polishing some of the final mechanics and areas that will be visited throughout Chapter One. We have also been hard at work on some fun cinematic and gameplay animations that will make the environment more interactive as you make your way through it. Playtesting Information: About a week ago, we started doing a 2nd large-scale playtest with all of the Kickstarter backers and some third parties, and have begun to modify things in the game based on that invaluable feedback. The first couple of playtests are always a bit nerve-wracking as reports of extremely strange bugs and enemy interactions come in, but we are happy to say that we have ironed out most of the major issues and will be continuing to improve based on feedback until launch -- and then for the foreseeable future after that! New Cinematic Animations: Since we have started to work on the actual sequence that will take place in Chapter 1, we wanted to begin setting up some of the animations that will play and give life to the events that take place in this chapter. There are a couple more cinematic animations to do, but these above are some of the smaller ones we are about to implement for some events that happen to the player as they make their way into Site-113. Prop Animations: Along with a couple of new animations for the player, we have also been working on creating some animations for various props that will be encountered throughout the game. These interactable and animated props help breathe life into the environment, and we are very excited for players to encounter them since they're all included in some pretty important sequences. A couple of these props still need their sounds implemented, which you will see as a general theme throughout most of the videos, but luckily we will be working on a large sound overhaul this month and the next -- so things should start coming together for that pretty quickly.

This month and last we have been hard at work getting things settled with the first official playtest, and we are very happy to share that we have made some substantial stability enhancements with this new feedback as well as some small tweaks to features and how things are presented. Kickstarter Playtesting News: One of the most nail-biting periods during the game development cycle is when players first get their hands on a playtesting copy of the game since even the most tried and tested systems are bound to break when players play just a bit differently. During our first round of playtesting, we found plenty of bugs both big and small with some notable ones giving some very comical moments throughout the testing period. However, we released a couple of hotfixes during this time and fixed most of the large bugs, which has taken the game to a MUCH more stable state in general. We have a vast array of notes for general improvements based on the current feedback, but of course, we are always open to more. For those of you Kickstarter backers who have not gotten the opportunity to test – fear not! We will be opening up testing in batches and these batches will include all Kickstarter backers from $50 and up. We are currently testing with $100 backers and up to get the big fixes out of the way and then will be adding more sequencing and finalized pieces to the game to polish it out to completion. During this time, playtesting will be open and will remain that way until launch so playtesters can test as much or as little as they’d like while we push changes to the game based on their feedback.

It's been a super packed month, with a ton of new environmental stuff getting completed as well as a bunch of new concepts, VFX, and animations -- so let's get into it! SCP-3199 Alternative Attack Animations: As part of our ongoing AI overhaul, we wanted to design more attack animations and create attack patterns for the creatures so that encounters with them feel varied as well as give players an opportunity to learn how this creature will attack -- allowing you to predict and block or dodge accordingly. These new animations will seamlessly integrate with their existing combat animations and will give a larger breadth to the types of attacks they can do while also looking visually interesting since it's no longer going to just be a peck or swipe attack. We are going to be doing a lot more with their AI this coming month too and we are super excited to show off how that is going! WIP Save Station and Syringe Animations: We've been working on doing the remaining animations for player interactable items and are excited to start on the player save station and medical syringe animations that will be a staple for players going through Site-113. The syringe animation will play when players decide to heal or decide to inject other boosters/substances that they can concoct from things they find inside the facility, but players need to be careful since this animation opens them up to attack -- so doing it in the heat of battle is probably not a good idea. The Save Station is a critical piece of equipment that will be used by players to save the game and also heal, with the potential for finding extra goodies if they look inside the bottom compartment. Players will find these scattered around the game and can decide to save at their discretion. However, these points aren't entirely safe, and you can be snuck up on while using them by creatures to get a fantastic scare! For reference, below is how the Save Station looks in-game -- it's about to get its new UI but for right now we can see the idle animation! New Environmental Props -- The Roads: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77ff01_f4583c191466444a96e1ae5e9a5be90b~mv2.png https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77ff01_7a34d2a63dbe4316a3ba2b4c29db5323~mv2.png https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77ff01_62dd051f420e41babafd6f8ac460d63f~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_3840,h_2160,al_c,q_90/77ff01_62dd051f420e41babafd6f8ac460d63f~mv2.webp https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77ff01_fc9cff30f9004b059168221651ca9d50~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_3840,h_2160,al_c,q_90/77ff01_fc9cff30f9004b059168221651ca9d50~mv2.webp A critical piece of the infrastructure that exists within Chapter 1, as well as future chapters, is the wide road system that trucks and other vehicles use to carry creatures, supplies, and other critical things between the Space Hangars and the main Site-113 Dome -- which is where the vast majority of people are stationed and where the creatures and other spooky items are stored. These roads are actually also part of ...August MEGA UpdateAug 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! We've posted a massive update on our website, which you can find here: https://www.hstgamestudios.com/post/player-movement-overhaul-new-environments-scp-animations-and-so-much-more It goes over new environments, mechanics, SFX/VFX and a TON more!June Update! Concepts, New Environments and a Mechanical Overhaul!Jun 9, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone, and Happy June! Last month, we focused on creating and refining concept designs for the later areas in Chapter One, as well as getting concepts and models created for some of the important props that will be interacted with many times throughout the game! We've also been working on creating some more environments for this Chapter, while also getting some really cool VFX in to bring these props and mechanics to life!

We are very pleased with this concept design since it accurately reflects the brutalist architectural style we have been creating and is going to be a fantastic point of reference for our 3D artists to begin working off of when they get started here on this zone! The Transit Center Concept: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77ff01_938dbae549424d0baf1333eba5250baa~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1110,h_624,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/77ff01_938dbae549424d0baf1333eba5250baa~mv2.png https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77ff01_949d58dd47504002bfc82d1afca391f4~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1110,h_624,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/77ff01_949d58dd47504002bfc82d1afca391f4~mv2.png https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77ff01_d31a50a44c904559a620f0fa74df3b65~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1110,h_624,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/77ff01_d31a50a44c904559a620f0fa74df3b65~mv2.png https://static.wixstatic.com/media/77ff01_f0f9e1ef09b94d038e295658e3071f9a~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1110,h_624,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/77ff01_f0f9e1ef09b94d038e295658e3071f9a~mv2.png The Transit Center is an area of particular importance within the first level of the game -- not only will players visit this place multiple times throughout their experience here, but they will also have some very important encounters in this area too. You might notice in the first and second concepts that there is an emphasis on the rock walls located in this environment. We wanted to be sure players were reminded that they are indeed not in any normal facility but were literally below the surface of Mars in a deep cave system. This design also allows us to craft several other areas out of rock, which gives a very unique and brutalist look that will bring a special connection to the environments that we are extremely excited to bring to life!

(If you want to pre-order the game and get extra goodies, you can do so here: https://hst-studios.pledgemanager.com/projects/scp-fragmented-minds/participate/) This month, we have been working hard to create the last variation for SCP-3199, and are very eager to hear your thoughts on the adorable new creature that you'll be seeing in Site-113! This variant, plus the other two, are going to create a very dangerous trio that can, with the help of the new baby, work together to pinpoint your location and will put up an awesome challenge should you be unfortunate enough to get spotted by them. Fear not though, as we are currently working on adding the new "shocking" player mechanics that will help you to use the environment to combat these threats in a really fun and dynamic manner while also allowing and encouraging you to remain in the shadows! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/41d0d8a3c27fe9c7b1e88633f88373d8b4798326.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/e99768d5ea006afc5bc1c3cf09704a00d8095e64.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/999b5b10cc286d4e10a884293f0d4305b8384700.png Mid-March Progress: We have started building up our large library of environmental assets and are pleased to say that we are now able to start building out the actual environments that you'll be experiencing as you traverse through the abandoned halls and areas in-game! We are very pleased with the new style and level of quality we have been able to achieve and are excited to start moving on to the further areas of Chapter One to bring them to life! You can see some of the sneak peek images of one of the new WIP zones below: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/34a28e92f86eaceebb3cbfb8f4500cf6d3515317.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/203c66b1f6ff54aca318cb61e0225e4c11b72ef2.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/fd404912c113cdc3b28602b1955cbddf3b840e7b.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/7051d63f7d0974998b629ffdef42de8f11437160.png AC-122 Dropship : Site-113 units have to ride in style, so we are pleased to show off two new concepts for the interior of the dropship that will become very familiar to you through your journey in-game, as well as being a starting point for the MTF forces in some of the planned multiplayer maps! We will more than likely begin this prop a bit down the line since we want to make sure it's done absolutely correct but are nonetheless in love with the design! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/a0e142f65cdf21c004f32a93d8e126728406cfe1.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/f1c02598c5ea965b22ccc741b4054f557373af7e.png What's Next? Currently, we are working on finalizing the prototype AI system that will control all of the enemies in-game, as well as building out more of the player mechanics to work seamlessly with the gameplay. Once these systems are completed, we should have the new player model finished and we will then begin to do an entire overhaul on the animations with the model to be sure everything is smooth and looks great. We will also be continuing to build...SCP-323 and Environmental Concepts + Next Steps!Feb 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsSCP-323 V2 IS HERE! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/cdf923d37c118e76f4ccebbf1e9c8c4bd2e62d7a.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/44ed284c628db0c944be3756ec69e8d0139ec479.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/0c92c1132b7eb1ca9a7d42f0fd866d2f27dd9fa2.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/d671cb010512f131035f517ea506be5d1d7b1a11.png We have been working on revamping SCP-323 to reflect the new level of quality and detail we are going for and are so excited to be able to share it with you all! This creature is one of our absolute favorites and we will be creating plenty of special finisher animations like we had in the trailer to strike fear into those who are unfortunate enough to be caught off guard by it. You'll encounter SCP-323 in multiple areas around the facility and it will definitely end up being something you want to watch out for since it's extremely tough to deal with. However, you will be equipped with certain tools and skills that will make each encounter very much survivable -- as long as you put some thought into it... Environmental Concept Designs: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/2ba91682dae1342c151464e2a471319486fee33b.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/962eaaebec4444633c2a47c7c7cccb863d1464f8.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/6cf4f7537b2216fa48cacb9bc49ae725644358f2.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37830362/e6a71ab8325a6e7c2d510a5b2624d0845b44c436.png These are the new concepts for the Control Room and Observation Room environments that are part of the larger set that is currently being created for Chapter One. We have taken a lot of inspiration from Control and Prey and are really excited about how these zones are turning out! These zones are designed to be a mixture of a spaceport and some designated office areas since they are attached to the main space hanger that is used to transport people and goods off-world. For those curious, the concepts you see here are actually blockout 3D models that we directly use to quickly create the designs and then we take these and model them out fully in 3D, which allows the process to be very efficient and for a ton of really intricate details to be put in to bring these concepts to life in a very robust and memorable way. We will begin showing off some of the new environmental bits shortly and we are very proud of how they are coming along and cannot wait to hear what you all think of them! What's Next? On the programming side of things, once the AI system is polished and ready to go, we will be focusing next on implementing the new player model and ensuring all the animations and movement are smooth and fluid-- basing a lot of the changes on the huge amount of feedback we got from the demo. After that, we will begin polishing the player and map mechanics so we can start getting playtesting started as soon as possible to ensure everything is feeling good before we move on to setting up the flow of gameplay in Level One. We will also continue to focus on increasing performance as high as we can possibly get it, and utilizing some new...SCP-3199 Quick Time Event Testing!Jan 18, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! We have begun developing a new system to handle quick-time event animations with different creatures in-game. This testing initially had a couple issues with arm clipping and other small problems, but we have since ironed out the issues and now have a great system to be used throughout the entirety of the game to have scripted and naturally occurring quick-time events to keep players on their toes. Below you'll find the newest set of win condition and failure condition animations for SCP-3199. SCP-3199 QTE Win Animation: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b2d8d4_586640db96d1460ebf5d0b9a3033db2f~mv2.gif SCP-3199 QTE Fail Animation: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b2d8d4_2abc488efb8d413cafa25bf66d91bf6d~mv2.gif We're very excited to begin expansion on this new system and cannot wait to show off more fun environmental interactions like this!
