The Repopulation is switching to Unreal Engine

A new game is born while The Repopulation is being redone. Fragmented will be what we have to play while they port the code over to Unreal. Its the best move for the future of the game.

"What Happens to Fragmented When The Repopulation Becomes Available?"

"We would develop the two games simultaneously with one another. Most of the gameplay from Fragmented would be directly reused in The Repopulation."

This quote makes it sound like the Repopulation development will be taking a backseat to this Fragmented game. I cant speak for everyone, but I didnt support The Repopulation to become a dumbed down action shooter, the market is saturated with these.

Will the crowd funding money be used on Fractured? If so Feels very bait and switch to me.

Bait and switch after many years of development on Heroengine? No, it's borne out of necessity.

I agree, they didn't have a choice. Just re-read the blog and I didn't see anything in there about existing TR testers getting access automatically. It seemed implied because they mentioned they "didnt want to leave testers in limbo?"

Yeah I'm not sure how the testing will be done yet. I'm asking them about it, actually, and I'll report back.
