Barotrauma Dev Tracker

I'll jump on the "things in games that are more complex to implement than you'd expect" bandwagon and tell a story about pants. When we moved from #Barotrauma's legacy version to Steam, we decided to combine the inventory slots for pants and shirts into 1 clothing slot. (cont)

Hey-hey, let's not call anyone names or jump to any conclusions :)

To answer OP's question: no, sadly, this is not an option. I am not even entirely sure whether that's a developer/publisher/platform question, either – so I am also somewhat doubtful regarding our future plans for this sort of deal. Sorry that I can't be of more help! For what it's worth, I would like to second what Shiro says: You do not necessarily need to enter this game with friends, as we have friendly people around. If you're interested in taking a closer look at that playerbase to inform your decision, please feel free to stop by our official Discord: discord.gg/undertow

Both wikis are made by fans, and both were to a degree facilitated by us; the new one on barotraumagame.com is also owned by us, so it gets less ads and sadly also less search engine love. But we try :)

We're currently working on ways of improving the experience a new player has when trying to get into the game, but you're right that Barotrauma has a lot of moving parts and we've got out work cut out for us in that department. If you have the time and energy to join in editing the wiki, you are very welcome! In any event, we're hoping to make information more easily findable, in the game and outside it.

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!

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?

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...

Games looks nice and all but no remote play together?

#Barotrauma's clowns could use some new weapons... 🤔
