Site-02 Transmissions #6 | Art Contest 2024 - Honourable Mentions

[h2]Hello everyone![/h2]
A few days ago marked the end of the voting period for the 2024 Art Contest.

The last month has been full of exciting news and developments. Now, we would like to turn our attention towards some of the many amazing pieces of art that you have dedicated to SCP: Secret Laboratory during this period.

Sometimes, the competitive nature of our event leaves some participants feeling like they went unrecognised. However, we are truly moved by each unique expression and deeply appreciate all of your effort. Thank you for sharing your vision, creativity, and concepts with the community.

That said, let’s get right into the showcase and look at some of your creations, together.



[h2]Art Showcase[/h2]
ARG including hidden videos, links, QR codes, images, and more by wantedparts (2d, storytelling, provided materials)
This small ARG made by wantedparts tells a short story on Are We Cool Yet?, offering their depiction of them in the universe of SL. Thank you for subtly weaving the threads of anart into your submission and sharing it with us in this way.

Hiding won't do you any good either by Beastbearing (2d art)
This really cool piece made by BeastBearing showcases fantastic rendering, especially when it comes to the blood. I’m always a sucker for well-done gore within art, and the setting/artwork makes it an amazing piece.

The Insurgency has made it into real life with this sculpture made out of clay by PicoLordens (3d art/physical art, provided materials)
As an enjoyer of occasional tabletop games and miniatures, physically tangible sculptures and figures occupy a special place in my heart. The few times I formed or painted something of my own are fond memories for life. The Chaos Insurgency will surely take matters into their own hands with this one!

Here we have fantastic animated pixel art of our SCP roster by Rascal

Next up, we have an amusing artpiece drawn by ebanytbi depicting Chaos Insurgents facing SCP-173 and SCP-106.


This next digital painting was made by Sutanisurasu, and perfectly frames some of the new features of 14.0.


Next is another pixel art piece made by the talented eyeymoses. Despite not winning the competition as a whole, a lot of our staff were quite fond of this piece!


Lastly, here is an amazing drawing of SCP-939 by Bedioc.





[h2]Closing Words[/h2]
There are many ways people express their inspiration from our shared experiences with SCP:SL. We would like to view ourselves as part of this ever-evolving creative ecosystem, just like so many of you are. A single piece of art can spark a deluge of conversations and ideas.

It is always an honour to feature the many amazing creations that sprout from this community. Providing a platform for your efforts and creativity is something we aim to soon handle in a more frequent fashion, beyond the scope of contests and events.

We are excited to see concepts for this project taking form, and hope to introduce meaningful practices that grant all of you the much-deserved recognition your actions truly merit.



[h2]Conclusion[/h2]
This year’s art contest has been an awe-inspiring, exciting and delightful journey. It was a captivating experience to see what you have created, and to see how your imagination and creativity developed alongside the upcoming player models and our other additions in Version 14.0!

Thank you for reading, for your participation, and for all of your ongoing support.

And as always, see you in the dark.

Halloween is here!

Hello everyone. We have just released this year’s Halloween seasonal update for SCP:SL.

While we’re hard at work preparing for ‘Heavy Duty’’s Patreon Beta release, we thought it would be a nice treat to reintroduce a few features from last year’s Halloween. Included in this update are the much beloved SCP-330 candies, SCP-3114, and some smaller changes.

[h2]Notable Changes and Adjustments[/h2]
  • Reintroduced the special SCP-330 candies with some slight adjustments from 2023.
    • Slightly rebalanced the candy loot table.
    • Brown Candy is no longer available through SCP-330. It is still obtainable through Black Candy.
    • Buffed Green Candy. It now lasts longer and increases your maximum health to 300 (was 200).
    • Fixed an issue where Gray Candy didn’t apply the intended amount of damage resistance.
    • Blue Candy will no longer grant users friendly fire. This effect has been retained for Evil Candy.
    • Evil Candy now grants its users the ability to open checkpoints.
  • Re-enabled SCP-3114 for the event with reduced spawn chances.
  • Re-enabled special skins for SCPs, player models, items, and more.
  • Introduced new ambience, graphics, and sound effects in line with the Halloween spirit.


Here’s to another spooky year of SCP:SL. Following feedback from the community, we’ve opted to direct our focus towards the next major update for SCP:SL. Despite that, we hope this update is a welcome change of pace in preparation for 14.0.

That being said, be sure to check out our Patreon to participate in the 14.0 Patreon Beta, which is releasing later this week on the 26th.

Have fun, and see you in the dark.
