SCP – Secret Laboratory is a free indie supernatural horror multiplayer video game developed by Northwood Studios. It is based on the single-player game SCP - Containment Breach, which is itself based on the paranormal fictional stories of the SCP Foundation website. The game is played in 3D from a first person perspective and the player is either D-Class Personnel, Scientist, Facility Guard, Nine-Tailed Fox Agent, Chaos Insurgency Agent, or an SCP entity. The game has a procedurally generated play area created from a random selection of pre-existing rooms and hallways that are strung together to create the facility which is played in.

Gameplay
SCP Secret Laboratory is a multiplayer first person horror game set in the SCP Universe. The players control 6 different classes, each with different objectives:


 * D Class Personnel are expendable personnel that the Foundation uses as test subjects, whose main goal is to escape the facility and avoid other teams.
 * Researchers are the main personnel of the Foundation responsible for researching the various SCPs and their main goal in the game is to cooperate with the guards and mobile task force operatives to escape.
 * Facility Guards are the security personnel of the Foundation who are tasked with helping the scientists and cooperating with mobile task force operatives in terminating the SCPs in the game.

Career
Penders is known for his work on the comic series Sonic the Hedgehog, which was published by Archie Comics. He primarily worked on the former side-series Knuckles the Echidna before it was cancelled due to poor sales in 1999, though he continued to produce stories and artwork for the main title until 2006.

In addition to his work for Archie Comics, Penders has written and illustrated stories for other comic publishers including DC, Marvel, Image and Disney on titles as Star Trek: The Next Generation, Disney Adventures, Savage Sword of Conan, Captain Atom, and The Green Hornet among many others. He also branched out into other media, producing children's activity books and creating graphics for CD-ROM games.

In December 2011, Penders announced plans to utilize Echidna characters he created for the Archie comics in a graphic novel series entitled The Lara-Su Chronicles. Said series is planned to feature Lara-Su, one of his original characters created during his work at Archie, as its protagonist. On March 5, 2014, Penders announced on his Twitter account that his characters were no longer echidna but Echyd'nya, an alien species. Penders stated reasons for the change was that he needed to make some adjustments to broaden the audience while making certain longtime fans get answers and resolution and because of the difficulty he has seen with people pronouncing the word echidna.

Archie Comics vs Penders
In January 2009, Penders began copyrighting various stories, characters, and artwork that he created for Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and spin-off titles, and these claims were certified as of April 2010 by the US Copyright Office. After declaring that he would "use every legal means at my disposal to protect and preserve" his works, Archie Comics filed a lawsuit against Penders in the fall of 2010 in an attempt to retain their copyright holdings of his characters and concepts. In the fall of 2012, Archie Comics fired its legal team and replaced it. Following this and a court settlement, many characters created by Penders were retconned, never to appear in the comics again.

Penders vs SEGA and EA
Penders filed a lawsuit against Sega and Electronic Arts (EA Games) in 2011 for alleged copyright infringement in the game Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, which was developed by EA's subsidiary BioWare. The case was dismissed without prejudice September 26, 2011, then again in February 2012, after the case had been refiled four days after it was originally dismissed, despite warnings from Judge Otis Wright who dismissed the case both times. In October 2013, the CA 9th Appellate Court upheld Judge Wright's initial ruling.
