Hey Everyone!

Some of you may have already heard and came here looking for answers and to those of you seeking, I will divulge a little information.

For those of you who have not heard, bluntly and directly stated, I have decided to shut down our project - Divided Unity: Shadow's Reach.

Over the past couple of months, our team has undergone some major changes. We lost one of the co-founders of this project and also lost some team members. The losses we have incurred are due in part to real life (which is why we lost our co-founder) or very simply, other paying projects.

I knew from day one that the project that we set out to do would be a big undertaking and relying on volunteers was a long shot, but if I were to show you where we are today compared to when we started, I think you all would agree that we have come a long way and have accomplished quite a bit.

Although this project may never see the light of day, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our fans for the support you have given us since we began. I would also like to thank each and every person who is currently a member of the team and each of those who used to be a member of the team. This project wouldn't be where it is today without each of you.

Again, thank you all and I wish each of you, both members and ex-members of the team, as well as our fans, the very best in everything you do.

Hey Everyone!

I know all of you have been looking forward to a news update and although I have one for you, it will not be what you were looking for.

Over the past couple of months, the team has undergone some changes and unfortunately, those changes have taken its toll on the team. I had high hopes that I could keep everything going despite them, but it has become apparent that I could not.

Due to everything that has happened, I have made the unfortunate decision to shut down this project.

From the 2 Old Men Studios Team and myself, thank you for all of the support that we have had during the course of this project.

Hey Everyone!

I know it's been quite some time I have posted. We have been in the midst of some changes and the main casualty has been providing updates to you - our fans.

I am currently working on getting some information to update you on the going-ons here at 2 Old Men Studios.

So keep an eye out for updates on both here and our game page!

Hey Everyone!

I know we have been MIA for a while, but we have had a few changes to take place and that has delayed getting updates out to you. I am working on getting one up for as soon as I can.

So keep an eye out!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to pop in and let you all know that we are still here!
We are hard at work in getting some new concepts and information out to you.

Unfortunately, I can't say more than that, but it will all be worth the wait!

I also would like to take this time to thank everyone supporting us and has interest in what we are creating. Aside from our personal excitement and dedication, you are what keeps us motivated. So thank you.

Hey everyone!

Dang it feels good to be back!
Everything is moving along and we've been busy ensuring we're on track.
Maybe soon we can get some of these updates to you all, so stay tuned!
One thing we have done is hired a 3D environmental artist!

Everyone give a warm welcome to Blake! He's got quite the experience under his belt but wants to push that portfolio to the max. We are happy to have him on the team.

As always, we're looking for people to join our team.

We could still use a 3D character artist and some programmers. So if you know anyone who needs some experience, please let them know about us!

Hey Everyone!!

Old Griz here with some extremely exciting news.

I mentioned about a week ago that we were hoping to get our game page up and well – that time has come.

BEHOLD!

Divided Unity: Shadows Reach

A FPS style game set in a dieselpunk style world.

For more information, head on over to our game page.


I would also like to include in our announcement that we are looking for talent to join us on our journey in creating this amazing game.

In particular, we are in need of a Concept Artist.

However, do not let that discourage you! As we progress further, we are undoubtedly going to need to enlist the aid of many others to help us get to our goal.

So if you have a skill and you have a desire to be a part of our team, send in an application!

We look forward to hearing from the artistic community.

It all started over two hundred years ago. Nobody speaks about its beginning and nobody cares that it still does. We only know that it does because you can still hear the bombings - explosions from outside the valley. They rattle this whole place, but at least we are safe from it all. I still wonder how anyone came to find this place…I am glad that they did. I am grateful to those who came before us; the ones that founded this town, this peace, this -- Solace. What a fitting name. I can only hope that the fighting ends soon. How can there be such anger amongst The Twelve? Another question to add to my list and perhaps one day I can leave this place and uncover the truth.
___________________

A couple days ago, we actually had visitors!
Everyone was shocked and now everyone seems to be on edge. The outsider exchanged information with the leaders of Solace, but who knows what news of the world outside this valley he brought. I later learned of his name: Johnathan…Nimble? Noble? Nomol! Johnathan Nomol. Maybe he is the reason everyone is on edge now….
___________________

I have waited every day for the past six years to see more outsiders, but there have been none. Even Nimal? Namol?…I forget his name now and I am not going back through my journals to find it. Anyways, not even he has shown up again. I guess living here for a couple weeks was long enough for him, but outside this valley can’t be better! I still hear the explosions of bombs and artillery; not that I pay that much attention to them anymore…

Wait..that one sounded closer.

Oh no!! They found us and they are killing everyone! I don’t know what to do..what CAN I do? We don’t have weapons, we don’t have places to hide…

Now it’s all silent - other than a few screams of dying people out on the street. They are in my building; I can hear them looting and killing any hiding out.

I guess it’s a matter of time before they find me.

Just wanted to let everyone know about our project that is currently in development.

Here's a little teaser for you:

Project Whippersnapper

For 83 years, the 12 territories saw peace under one man: Nathaniel Nomol. Although his death spread much sorrow throughout the lands of Nomolas, his son, Nathaniel Maoboh Nomol, brought hope with his placement as the new Prime Regent. A hope that was shattered in an instant with his assassination. Now, Nomolas is thrown into chaos; one it has not seen since the Unification.

War is not on your doorstep, but it's around the corner.

You are the child of a mech-builder, who reluctantly agrees to join the Government in a search behind the assassination. Follow the journey as it leads you into battles, struggling to uncover clues. Who of the 12 territories would risk so much peace for a taste of war?

Only you can discover the answer..
