Hello everyone!

The New Frontiers update, the biggest Barotrauma update so far, is just around the corner now. Multiple aspects of the game have been improved to create a real sense of progression, particularly in the campaign game mode – read more about all that below, and more on our blog[barotraumagame.com]!

Outposts, the start and end point of a mission, become physically explorable locations that replace the old campaign menu as the trading, crew hiring and service buying hub. The new outposts come with autonomous AI inhabitants as well as randomized events that bolster lore and even directly affect gameplay.

Hello everyone! It’s finally time to properly introduce the New Frontiers update – that is, the campaign update that’s been teased and talked about for an incredibly long time. Besides adding much-needed new content, the New Frontiers update is a big step forward in creating a better sense of progression in the campaign game mode. We dare say, singleplayer and multiplayer are also beginning to...

Hi! Sorry about the (very long, in relation to the original post!) delay in getting back to this thread. The last couple of weeks have been incredibly busy for our team, and the original post seems to have been missed entirely.

Now, our "mac guy" wished he could get some more details about your hardware:

- are you using a magic or a regular mouse, or just the touchpad?
- Macbook model would also be good to have as a clue, if the issue is performance-related, as he suspects.

Thanks for any extra information you can provide!

Hi! Sorry about the inconvenience, it seems that on the current version, the server sometimes doesn't write that report even though it should. This should be fixed in the next update, so even if the crash keeps happening, you should be able to get the report and we'll hopefully be able to help you more.

There's also a pinned post ... Read more

Hi! Font scale as an adjustable setting has now been added to our todo list. I can't give you an estimate yet for when we'll implement it, but it will be a good addition to allow everyone to optimise the text size for the screen they're using without needing to go into the game files, so we hope to get it done soon.

Sorry about the delay in getting back to this thread, these have been busy weeks for our team!

Interesting, but I would like to know if there has been any improvement in AI, really significant? Both from companions and from enemies.

Our chief AI wrangler has been busy with lower-profile tasks related to the outpost NPCs, so major improvements to the AI have not been the top priority for him recently, I'm afraid. Smaller improvements and fixes are always being made and implemented with just about every update, but bigger advances in the bot and enemy AI department are only arriving a little later still.

Hi everyone!

Besides outposts, the next major update is going to contain many other new additions too. We wrote more on the blog[barotraumagame.com] about them for you to read, and here are some highlights:

  • Once outposts become explorable, all trading options will be moved inside outposts. That means, out with the old campaign map and store interface, in with new NPC interactions!
  • With the overhauled store system, it will become possible to also sell items, not just buy them.
  • And finally, in addition to buying items, you will be able to…

Hello everyone! Time for another campaign update sneak peek. Outposts may be the single biggest part of it, but there’s going to be much more besides that the next update brings – such as having your submarines progress with you in the campaign. “Does the engine on your Dugong suck? Spend some marks and it will suck less. Not enough power output from the piece of sh*t reactor in your Typhon?

Hello everyone!

Today marks one year since we started Barotrauma’s early access on Steam. We’re so happy with how far the game has come since then, and even happier to have had so many people join us on our early access journey. Thank you for being with us and helping us make Barotrauma the best game it can be!

Your feedback and encouragement throughout this year make us look forward to the road still ahead of us – the campaign update is getting closer and closer, and we can’t wait to hear how you like it. The most eager bug hunters can now access the first, very rough version of the campaign update in the ... Read more

Hello everyone! Today marks one year since we started Barotrauma’s early access on Steam. Whatever the exact time when you joined our ever-growing crew of Europan explorers, THANK YOU for being a part of our journey – it means the world to us to have gathered so many people in our drowning simulator when it’s not even finished yet! It may seem strange to celebrate having spent a year in what many...

Hello everyone!

Time for a minor update – with a changelog longer than that of the latest major update. Our team has been busy with fixes and small additions for this patch to pave the way for the long-awaited campaign update that we’re releasing next.

Please be sure to update your game to be able to host and join servers, and take a look here for the patch contents:

  • Two new moloch variations: the black moloch and the moloch pupa. We hope you find both of them terrifying in their own right!
  • Dismembering of non-human living creatures. Because death was not gruesome enough before!
  • Texture compression to make the game run a little better on low-end GPUs.
  • New music tracks – just because it’s underwater doesn’t mean it should all be constant monotonous dron...

Ahoy!

To make the most of the Rusted Remnants update and everyone’s spare time, our Discord community members are throwing an event – a wreck-designing competition!

The event is hosted and judged by our community experts, with everyone in our server getting a chance to vote for their favourite design a few weeks from now. We from the developer team are supporting the competition with some prizes, one for the “judges’ pick” and the “public favourite” each.

The competition starts now, and contestants have until June 12 to submit their designs, after which judging will take place. More information, help and submission guidelines can be found in our Discord server, https://discord.com/invite/undertow... Read more
