Dieselpunk 1st Person RPG looking for 3D artists and animators, writers and more

About The Studio:


2 Old Men Studios is a passionate team that is always looking to bring in quality new talent.
Despite the studios name there are far more than 2 members and none of us would class ourselves as “old”. We are however a studio, so we at least tick one of the boxes of our name.


The goal of 2 Old Men Studios is a simple one:
To create top quality games using the Unreal Engine, having a blast in the process.


The team is comprised of quirky and lovable people, much like those two old men you see in the park playing chess and talking nonsense (see, now the name makes sense). The most important thing about us though is that we all share the same passion to inspire those that play our games.


We are looking for people that share our passion to join our team in making our upcoming project, an exciting dieselpunk first person RPG.

Our Prime Regent is dead, and none have risen to replace him. Our nation lives in fear, the whispered promise of war coloring our every thought and action. The people have remained strong for twenty six years, clinging to the fragments of our shattered Unity, but the time has come for action. I will reclaim our heritage, and if our old peace cannot be restored, then I will make the culprits suffer, and their cities will burn. The shadow's reach is long, but mine is longer.
Who am I? ...I am you.



'Divided Unity: Shadows Reach' is a unique role playing shooter set in the dieselpunk world of . The player takes control of the child of a mech builder that joins the military in an attempt to repair the last fragments of a shattered unity.
