Greetings from the front lines!

Victory’s Grave: Outflank has taken the leap to servers, and a big part of that march to completing that first, polished slice of our game is playtesting!

The game is still in a pre-alpha stage, and you’ll need a computer with a little bit of graphical muscle; but let us know if you’d like to take part in a playtest! Details below!

If you’ve played in the past but have missed the last couple months, Victory’s Grave: Outflank has come a long way!

With improved shooting, updated M16s, and life-saving buffs, the gameplay has definitely improved. A spectator view for after you’ve run out of lives has been implemented.

Our Creative Director Matt has also started “beautifying” the map. Not only does it look GREAT, it also gives you attackers a few more places to take cover.

The view from the new church steeple shows a few of the, uh, improvements to the town.

Something got broken…

And if you want to make those really long distance shots, we have mortars.

Support Old Glory Studios!

Help us close in on our vertical slice of Victory’s Grave: Outflank!

Vertical slice is an important milestone for the game. With one slice of the game polished, with the core gameplay ready to show off, we’ll be ready to approach publishers and possible funding partners to get the resources we need to deliver the game to millions of players!

Veterans know how to do a lot with a little. As a combat engineer in the 82nd Airborne, I was part of a team stationed at Orgun-E in the eastern mountains of Afghanistan. When we arrived, it was little more than three holes in the ground, and with almost no resources, we helped turn that place into a secure forward operating base.

At Old Glory Studios we’ve taken lessons like that into game development. Using a fraction of the resources that the big studios use, we’re nearly ready to show off the game! To date, we’ve raised $48,000, and our goal for vertical slice is $100,000.
