Update Version 0.3.0 is LIVE!

New Units Have Entered the Fray! Fractured State marches forward in development showcasing a host of new improvements and introduces the Laperian Sharpshooter along with the Children of the Ancients new Fanatic unit in its latest update.

Joining the ranks of the Flamethrower, Conscript, Surgeon and Grenadier for the Laperian Army is the Sharpshooter. This long-range weapons specialist can deploy his rifle giving the player the ability to align shots at opposing players from a distance.

The Children of the Ancients welcome the most zealous followers, the Fanatic, into their fold. These units posses mythical abilities that enable them to launch an astral projection into a group of enemy combatants or confuse opposing forces to turn on themselves.

• Added a small graphical effect to the hotbar when a skill comes off cooldown
• Added a no-enter cursor for mousing over a transport with a selection of units that can't be passengers

“This update concludes our 0.2 development cycle. I'm really excited to start iterating very quickly which means future updates should come at a much more rapid pace! More cool stuff is on the horizon. Onward to 0.3!”
– Matt Kelso, Mechanical Monocle

“Designing new units and then putting the pieces together to get them in game is always fun. I hope everyone has as much fun playing them as I had making them!”
