This simple mod changes the Main Menu to display a room of the game. For now, it only displays the starting room, but the final version will change the background as you make progress in the game.

This is pretty cool! Good work!

I forgot to add a texture to the download. I knew this would happen

If you don't see the title in the menu, please download again to get the texture.

Pretty impressive, maybe the room in the bg could change with the option you select, like when you start a new game it shows the starting room or the class d cells, when you load a saved game it could show a checkpoint room or something from heavy containment zone. Just a thought.

Very niiice! Code is very good. Not sure what the army of comments at the bottom of 3D Menu.bb is for

It could be improved by adding a sprite using a multiply blend mode of scanlines like this one: To achieve an effect like this:

Those comments used to be code that made 3D Menu.bb work by itself. It's mostly code I copy-pasted from the game's source code.

I plan on doing that for some of the rooms, such as the lockroom or SCP-895's chamber, but not every room will have that effect.

Oh God, hopefully it won't have the psycho effects...

Hmm, a very cool example of 3D main menus are of that of Half Life 2 and the episodes. Perhaps you could show personnel walking around every once in a while. You might also want to just show the facility before the breach, that'd suit it more as a menu screen. Maybe once the player returns after playing the game a bit, the lights are off and everyone gone. Also, perhaps you might want to a text outline, like that in the actual menu? Something about the text right now feels flat.

I tried that to see what it would look like, it didn't make much of a difference and it was really bad for performance (text is what makes the Options menu lag so much on 1920x1080 resolution)

I can only do that for the title since it's a textured sprite rather than text, but the "NEW GAME","LOAD GAME", etc will remain as they are right now.
