Upcoming changes

Here's some good and bad news.

So bad news first. A ways back my pc crashed and I had to get new hard drives and copy data over. Some things were messed up, but most things were okay. I've recently tried to open SCP: Blackout and... well it's corrupted. I had a fear this was the case, so I've been too nervous to try for almost a year now.

SCP

Blackout was my first game, so this was back before I had source control or backups. I don't think I could have gotten the game back to where I could update it any time soon, but I finally gave it a fearful try and I found I couldn't anyways. It's gone, sadly.

SCP

Blackout is no more, only what's on Steam.

The hard drive with SCP: Blackout was corrupted, and the project files are gone.

So for the "good" news, I'm going to take it out of Early Access and just make the game free for you all. It's not easy or fun to know the game is done, I had always held out hope I could get back to it. But if it'd done, then I might as well let people enjoy what's there.

I'm in talks with Steam about the process for doing all this, so it might take a week, I'm not sure. But hey, if you've always wanted to play it and never could, you'll be able to soon!

SCP: Blackout will soon be permanently free, once talks withe Steam are done and they can switch it to free on their end.

SCP: Blackout was my first game and first passion project. I hit all of my goals with it 5 times over, remaking it all from scratch 5 times. It was a wild and fun ride. It might not have been the most profitable, but it taught me so many things and kickstarted my development career. Thanks guys, and sorry for the bad news.

As things move forward TheClassifiedX will be rebranding to our new styles and new games, so our discord has had some overhauls. I'm opening sections to help teach people some game dev, and making art for games. I hope if you liked my games in the past you'll stick around and will enjoy my games in the future.
