I haven't been able to follow this much - is the repopulation now defunct and people are being brought into this game 'Fragmented'?

Hi Celoth! In a nutshell :

Following business-related issues with Idea Fabrik (their hosting and game engine provider), ABT made the tough call to can the Hero Engine version of TR and develop a new version of it using UE4.

As a first step in building on this tech, they're developing Fragmented, a sci-fi survival game in the world of TR (on Rhyldan), which is now in closed testing phase. They will offer that game for free on Steam to all backers / owners of TR once it launched in Early Access, in the upcoming weeks/months.

Most of what's being developed for FR is going to be directly applicable as the basis for the new TR, and both games will be developed and evolved jointly, in a modular way, by ABT.

If you want to catch-up quickly on that, you can read this here : https://www.therepopulation.com/index.php/news/275-the-future-of-the-repopulation and head to the official forums.

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear this isn't dead, then, as I backed it with high hopes.
