Maybe. It seems to me that the submarine currently has 1 center of gravity as it moves and rocks. As of now, the sub does angle a bit.
To implement, it would need 2 centers, or rather, 2 foci as in an ellipse. It would then move along those two points instead when angling itself.
But idk shit about the game's code. It's best to leave that up to the devs to decide.
It would be quite tricky the implement because all the structures and items in the submarine are defined using axis-aligned bounding boxes, and there's lots of logic in the code that assumes the submarine and the structures are always axis-aligned (i.e. not rotated).
Currently the submarine doesn't actually rotate in any way - when you hit a rock, we rotate the camera instead of the sub to fake the impact. It does work quite well though, it seems that practically no-one has noticed that it's faked. So it could be possible to add some subtle rocking when maneuvering the sub with the same method. :)
Are you color blind by any chance (a genuine question, not trying to be snarky)? The oxygen tanks are green and the fuel tanks are brownish-orange. If you are deuteranopic it'd be easy to get them mixed up - something that hadn't occured to us so far, but something we should definitely change.
It's not over, we're only just getting started. ;) Thank you for everyone who's been following and supporting the development through all these years, we wouldn't have gotten this far without you!
I’m really debating whether I want to get this game on June 5th. I just don’t want to hear a bunch of 12 year olds screaming and yelling 24/7.
I doubt that will be much of an issue - if the player base of the Steam version ends up being even remotely similar to the legacy version, the average player will be much older than 12 years.
And as said in that voice chat thread, the voice chat is an optional feature.
The $15-$20 range was my own initial guess of the ballpark, but it might end up being slightly more.
The captain (or anyone else) can indeed betray the crew. The consequences of that depend on the server you're playing on: some servers are more strict and may kick you for actively trying to sabotage the mission, others may have the traitor feature enabled and only allow sabotage if it's required by your secret traitor objective, and on some servers anything goes.
I'm not gonna bother explaining because it's useless, but suffice to say that there's games meant to have voice and ones that aren't. I hate this trend of forcing it into everything multiplayer.
I would argue that Barotrauma is exactly the kind of game that should have voice chat. Co-operation and communication are crucial aspects of the game, and text chat is often too slow for communicating effectively in an emergency situation. But of course, not everyone likes to use a voice chat or even has a mic - and in that case you can simply disable it and use text chat instead.
We're sorry to keep you waiting. We were hoping to release it during the first quarter of 2019, but there were still so many issues (particularly in the networking side) that we needed to push back the release. The current estimate of "Spring 2019" should hold though, and we will be announcing the exact release date very soon.
Sorry for the late response, I don't check this subreddit as often as I should...
In case you haven't found a solution to this yet, I believe you can fix it by disabling GameAnalytics. Normally you would be able to do so by selecting "no" when the game asks you on startup whether to send analytics to the developers, but since you can't launch the game, you need to change senduserstatistics="true" to senduserstatistics="false" in the config.xml file inside the game's folder.
I'm not 100% what exactly is causing the GameAnalytics extension to throw this error, but I'll look into it and try to make sure this doesn't happen in the future. Thanks for the report!
