Fractured Balance

There going to be Update Delays, here is why:


Hello everyone — Vrglab here!

As I promised before, I’ve been working hard to deliver a major update to the demo’s 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You see, Fractured Balance is built on nearly 7 years of accumulated code — much of it outdated and, frankly, completely unmaintainable.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 game’s 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.
That 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.

I worked some more on the visual identity of Fractured Balance and here is the final result. I decided to go for a multi-layer parallax back and foreground Hollow Knight Style. Wishlist on Steam if you want to play this version: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3376920

A while ago, The idea of a tower or automated defence was suggested for Fractured Balance and now. This ghost fella exists. (now he isn't completely finished so he might not initially be in the Demo release, but he will be in the Demo and Full game)
