Barotrauma Dev Tracker

Hello everyone, I'm glad that OP's immediate problem appears to have been solved; let's not be too hard on them over something as normal and perfectly appropriate as a forum post. The forums are here so that our players might write about their experience with the game, and the tutorial, just like every part of the game, is fair game for feedback!

Hello captains, clowns and submariners of all kinds!

Steam Awards are once more being bestowed on games soon and you can now nominate Barotrauma for an award.

We've chosen the Labor of Love category, made for games that have been out for a while and continue to be worked on – as we're closing in on the fourth big update this year, we thought this category sounded like us. We hope more than anything that you've enjoyed the direction we've developed Barotrauma in, and that you'll continue to enjoy our future updates. If you'd like to nominate us for this award as well, we'd be doubly happy.

Best wishes from our team, and many honks!

Hello! The environment is a little bit brighter after the next update, but really quite little, and for these screenshots, the lights have been turned up. You will still need to have light sources with you if you want to see anything outside the sub :)

Holy shit this looks amazing, pls make thalamus ships fully destructible if the brain has been destroyed. Sometimes they block tunnels and mission progression because you physically cannot squeeze past them without getting stuck.

Hi! Thanks :) and as for the thalamus problem, we probably can't do what you suggest, exactly, but if this continues to be a problem, we do need to address it somehow. If your path is blocked by something that shouldn't do that following the update, please drop us a line on the Steam forums or our Discord to let us know!

Hi! While jokes are fine, and jokes about Finnishness are extra fine, there are some jokes in this post that I find troublesome and would love to see removed. Europa is for everyone, and that's no joking matter :)

Hi! There are some commands that are specifically disabled for multiplayer, but to give yourself all those commands that can be used in MP, you should only need to type "givecommandperm [PlayerName] all" in the F3 console or dedicated server console.

I have to admit I haven't played SS13 as much as one might expect based on how much Baro draws inspiration from it. I did give it a try a long time ago on what I think was /tg/station, but as someone who tends to like making games more than playing them and rarely has enough time or motivation to really sink into a game, I didn't get very far. But I was still impressed enough by the game and its core ideas that I wanted to take a shot at building something slightly different on those core ideas. I guess I should take it for another spin at some point and see how it goes. :)

A neat little #Barotrauma animation (audio from @CrikMaster's latest baro video):

And no, this did not end well...

Tutorial is a real turn-off

27 Nov

8/8 One last biome pic, a cross section of Europa straight from the design doc. The next update will make depth a more prominent gameplay feature – to get to the Eye of Europa, you need a sub strong enough to survive the bone-crushing pressure of the late-game biomes. #gamedev

26 Nov

7/8 More pics of the overhauled biomes. The Hydrothermal Wastes provide some infernal vistas and rough seas for the end of the road: expect volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, unpredictable currents, and lots of sonar flora that interfere with your navigation. #barotrauma #gamedev

6/8 More pics of the overhauled biomes. The Great Sea is where the environment really starts coming to its own, hostile class – a vast open space, dotted with islands, various obstacles and creatures, making navigation a perilous task. #barotrauma #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Wait, it's all Finland?

How does one give themselves all commands on their server.

5/8 More pics of the overhauled biomes. After the next update you may run into some obstacles you need to destroy to proceed further. Protip: there are several ways to get past them, and the one in the pic is probably the slowest one. #gamedev #indiedev #barotrauma

23 Nov

4/8 More pics of the overhauled biomes. The Cold Caverns are where your journey starts. It’s as close to the sun as you’re going to get, which is to say, not very; our designers describe the zone as “a very dim and shadowy, crystalline world of ice” #gamedev #barotrauma #indiedev

22 Nov

3/8 More pics of the overhauled biomes. The Aphotic Plateau is a bioluminescent fungal jungle, with consistently warm water rushing across the region in powerful currents. #barotrauma #gamedev #indiegame #gameart

21 Nov

2/ 8 More pics of the overhauled biomes. Europan Ridge is a lush melting pot zone at the crossroads of the ice above and the volcanic activity below, making it biologically more diverse than most other places. #gamedev #barotrauma #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

1/ 8 More pics of the overhauled biomes. This is an ice cave, one of the more basic cave types. #barotrauma #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gameart
