If you’ve not been paying attention to the new Fractured Online team’s developer videos on everything it’s doing to revamp the game, you might want to drop ’em a little listen as Happy Cauldron Games is plainly diving in with a combination of heart and calm that is compelling.

HCG’s Duncan Davis has previously explained that this is not just a mild tinkering; the new and old devs are making dramatic changes to everything from crafting systems to the game’s graphical vibe. This time, he begins by discussing the game’s new graphics as applied to the new biome.

“The core of the goal for this first phase was to establish the new style, iterate between the art side and various other aspects of the project to ensure that everything going forward can adhere to the new realistic-with-slight-stylized areas,” he says of the world rebuild. Davis also discusses the game’s new character system and the armor recolor system in this episode.

Fractured is going offline in June as HCG pulls it back into development (and testing for existing backers), with a planned relaunch early next year. The whole dev video is below:
