Upcoming update - question about shrinking map

Comment
    Dynamoon on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Hi! The shrinking of the map is indeed optional, and as we are still firmly in early access, everything in the game is still subject to change – so while it is not being initially released as gradeable and we do not at present have plans for making it so, your feedback, once you get to play the feature in practice, will be very welcome as always!

From our side of things, the apprehension surrounding the topic seems somewhat surprising, even though we knew it was coming... so we urge you to try it and see for yourself, because we don't think it's actually that harsh :) but as it became apparent not everyone was feeling excited about this in any good way, we decided it should be optional from the start. We don't like telling our players exactly how you should play!

What's up with the DrawMap resource when subs enter docking range?

Hi! Sorry for the delay, but here's what I got from my colleagues:

"This is most likely caused by the lighting: when a light source is moving relative to a sub, it needs to constantly recalculate the shadows cast by the things the light hits. Because of that, subs/shuttles with lots of external light sources can cause a large performance hit"

Do you think that would explain what you're experiencing?

Sneak peek: Shrinking map

Hello everyone!

The next major update is getting closer, and it’s time to introduce some more new features that are coming. Take a look on our blog[barotraumagame.com] for some more details about the…

Shrinking campaign map As the radiation from outside Europa’s icy crust reaches ever deeper into the ocean where we all sail, we must keep moving. The next update will introduce a slowly progressing wall of radiation that destroys everything in its path and pushes the player onwards, into new areas of the map.

While the shrinking map feature will be made optional, we are excited to bring this new expression o... Read more

Hello everyone! It’s time to introduce more of the features that the next update will add. This one has proven to be somewhat contentious, so let’s sneak peek carefully: what does the rumored shrinking map actually mean? In a nutshell, our next big move in the ongoing campaign development is discouraging players from lingering in the early levels and farming for cheap EXP and upgrades...

The Europan Magazine

Comment
    Dynamoon on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Hi! Thank you so much, reading this made us very happy. When our publisher suggested a bonus magazine like this, we weren't really sure we knew what we were doing, and the end result was a nice surprise to everyone involved! That's to say, the magazine is made by the same people who make the game: our lead developer, two designers, lead artist and myself handle the bulk of the writing, and the Barotrauma art team is responsible for the visuals, from the illustrations and ads to the layout and graphic design (which we here have been particularly impressed with, too – I don't think we even knew we had a graphic designer in our midst before this!)

The compliments have been relayed to the team :) When we hopefully get around to making the planned third volume, one day, we hope you'll enjoy that one as much as the existing two!

Hey u/1Dynamoon , love the game Ive been playing lots. In the two campaigns Ive played on the latest (once with Typhon2, once with Kastrull) patch I made some notes.

We didnt get ballast flora. Maybe once. Tobacco was farmed too fast and we used the cash to get maxed out upgrades in the early sectors. Also we killed lots of molochs which were easy money because piercing coilgun is way too overpowered. After the outposts stopped appearing on the map we sped through to the core because were pretty well stocked. The endgame actually was easier than the early game and we never had to wait for any spawning grounds to be cleared. Without missions to do and an overabundance of resources it became a speedrun to the core. I was the captain so I had fun steering but the crew became a little bored with not much to do. I know I could add traitors but I like this game because it's fun to work together. I hope you guys are able to fix some of these things n...

Hi /u/kelpseadiving! Thanks for the feedback. While I'm not sure we'll get to improve on all of these imminently, many of the questions you raised – meaningful sense of progression, first and foremost – are on our radar, so to speak, and being worked on. The next update will be a pretty big one, abanoned outposts being only one new addition in it. Look forward to hearing what you and everyone else thinks of the other things that are coming! I'm hoping I can pull together another feature sneak peek later this week, so you can already get speculating :)

Hi! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We've heard a few mentions of similar things in the past, but what you're describing sounds like it could be quite serious, so I wanted to let you know we are investigating it. If you have any more details, please don't hesitate to send those over! You can use either public channels, like these forums and our issue tracker[github.com], or if you believe you have some sensitive information on your hands, then it may be good to send that by email, [email protected].

Sneak peek: Abandoned outposts

Post


Ahoy!

We’re busy at work on the next major update, and one of the new features it will include is…

Abandoned outposts The world of Barotrauma changes according to what you do or don’t do in it, and a location that is next to monster hunting grounds may become abandoned by its usual inhabitants. Then it will be your job to find and enter the affected outpost and evict whatever has made itself at home inside:
  • Hunt down monsters and destroy their nests, or
  • Deal with squatting outlaws and dispose of their leader, or
  • Deal with outlaws and make sure they don’t come back later – destroy the station reactor for good measure.
  • Get out alive.

What do you think? You can get a more atmospheric glimpse of what’s to come ... Read more

Ghost Town: A Story

Hello everyone! For the first sneak peek of the next major update, we decided to tell you a story. Enjoy! It was near the end of winter – not that seasons matter much here, of course, but it feels nice somehow to think that somewhere, around that time of year, winter would have been loosening its grip and the sun, with every passing day, making ever so slightly longer appearances in the sky – more...
