Hello everyone Vrglab here!

As I promised before, Ive been working hard to deliver a major update to the demos content. But along the way some unexpected issues came up.

You see, Fractured Balance is built on nearly 7 years of accumulated code much of it outdated and, frankly, completely unmaintainable. Over time, the games backend systems and APIs were tweaked, modified, or expanded again and again, until maintaining them became a nightmare.

So, I made a tough decision: to rebuild everything from the ground up.\nThat means rewriting years worth of systems and functions into something modern, clean, and sustainable so the game can grow properly moving forward.

Of course, that kind of overhaul takes time. A lot of time.

So while development is still moving forward, there will be delays in the upcoming updates.

Thank you all for your patience and continued support I want this game to reach its full potential, and this rewrite is a huge step toward making that possible.

Stay tuned, and as always, thank you for being part of this journey.
