Hello everyone! The year 2024 has officially started in Barotrauma development, and wed like to kick it off with a brief development poll. Were planning a new, optional challenge mode for multiplayer campaigns where respawning is limited and character death is permanent, and we have a few competing designs for how we might implement this Permadeath mode. If you are interested, read more about the Permadeath mode on our blog, and give your feedback via the poll attached to the blog! You will find directions to discussion threads, where you can share your thoughts in more detail, in the same blog post. The next update, including the Permadeath mode, revisions to multiplayer respawning rules and additional difficulty settings, will be coming later in the spring. The update will also include various kinds of new content, which we will start sneak peeking at in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned!
