#Barotrauma is turning 5 this Saturday, and we decided to do a little video about the progress we've made since the very first versions of Subsurface... A big thank you for all the love and support throughout these years! https://youtu.be/RmN0y0m3YCU http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkeMBMgXEAACkJw.jpg

An interesting little #Barotrauma mod that turns the Europan Mark into a physical currency: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2101471533 #gamedev #modding #indiegames http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EksYLnsWMAIuHsV.jpg

@peashooterman3 If you mean the smiling face that appears in SCP-087-B, https://spinpasta.fandom.com/wiki/The_Smile_Dog

Working on making #Barotrauma's environmental lighting a bit more dynamic... #gamedev #indiedev #monogame http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1319248809013149696/pu/img/f9H4XzCwBcNS_XXV.jpg

@JavaMaster12 Originally the game was supposed to take place in an underwater base, and "shifts" were what we now call rounds or missions.

@PowderPilots To some extent, yes! We're planning on expanding the current upgrade system so that instead of just modifying the existing installations, you can buy and install new devices/weapons to improve your sub mid-campaign.

@DireEpidemic What kind of an error are you getting? Even though we technically could prevent it from opening, I don't think we should: if it pops up, it means something is wrong and we need to fix the issue instead of hiding the error (potentially leading to further, more hard-to-catch bugs)

@DireEpidemic Do you recall what the error message is? Not sure if it could be caused by the mods, but in any case it's something we need to fix.

@DireEpidemic What I'm saying though is that we need to fix the error itself, and to do that we need to know what the error message is. And if we allow players to toggle off the error messages, they might not know about or report them.

@DireEpidemic Even if it the error seems like something that can be safely ignored, that might not be the case: it could for example lead to some issues later during the round, and if we don't know about the initial error message, it makes it much harder to diagnose.

@LPiromano Yeah, this is the first rough implementation of a crystal that drains power from the sub if you go too near it. And thanks for the tip, I'll check it out! :)

@Thescienceguy55 Haha, no offence taken.😄 The scruffy (or downright ugly) looks were intentional, but it's been a long time since those sprites were made. We're not entirely happy with them either, and our art team's been talking about giving them a little overhaul at some point.

This was a fun watch: a roleplaying-oriented #Barotrauma gameplay video by "Gravy My Bacon": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJqxCrK1R8M #gamedev #indiegame #indiegames

Cool (WIP) stuff spotted on our Discord server: a modder who goes by the name "Scale" is modding @frictionalgames 's SOMA into #Barotrauma. SOMA has been an inspiration to many things in vanilla Baro as well, so I'm eager to give the finished mod a try. :) #gamedev #modding http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1320718670033788928/pu/img/12_3WlDYOET73SJk.jpg

Do mudraptors have anuses or cloacas? Today we had to discuss this, and several other questions of enormous scientific importance for an anatomical schematic we're making. #idothisforaliving #gamedevisseriousbusiness

We've got another downtime activity coming up in the next #Barotrauma upgrade: pets! Clip of one of the new pets, the "orange boy", by Soup Girl. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegames http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1320997565790388224/pu/img/U_WRHQJBr5lPmnpq.jpg

@Maidforbattle We're not planning any big balance changes to the monsters, although we do small adjustments to them in almost all updates. The reworked talents will hopefully be a lot less overpowered though!

@Maidforbattle Yep, there will be a bunch of new ones that unlock new items, and I'm glad you noticed the mecha icon. ;)

If you're curious about the talent overhaul I teased in the previous tweet, it's now testable in the Unstable branch (instructions on accessing the branch here https://barotraumagame.com/announcements/barotrauma-tester-version-made-public/) #gamedev #IndieGameDev #barotrauma http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FgFEgpmaUAAmY2Y.png

@BeardedDargon Yep

@atakangoek1 There's basically two tiers of these "generic" talents: you can pick 2 from the first tier, then 2 more from the 2nd tier, and after that you can unlock one of the "specialization" trees.
