Hello everyone!
Were happy to say were approaching the first big update for Barotrauma. Due to Gamescom and PAX West coming up, scheduling has been a little tricky, and we cant promise an exact release date, but now you can read about what to expect. And as always, check our Trello for a summary of whats to come.
The update will center on griefing moderation tools, and were hard at work with easier server hosting, to be added soon as well. Were hopeful that these put together will significantly improve the multiplayer experience. Details about the new hosting method will follow closer to publishing it; read on here for more about keeping your servers nice and/or interesting.
