SUGGESTIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT

Submit & upvote ideas among the community so we can more easily sort through what people want to see out of SCP: 5K (previously known as SCP: Pandemic) within reason. We'll still be making the ultimate call with suggestions, so getting a lot of votes isn't a guarantee we'll do it, but will give us a better chance of being able to review it internally and assess the possibilities within the scope of our development!

Please keep your suggestions clear and concise, and add the relevant tag - a good suggestion is usually 1-4 paragraphs in length.
