Greetings from the front lines!

We have a lot of stuff brewing, but none of it’s quite ready to share.

Also, everybody’s busy the last week before Christmas, so for this holiday edition of Old Glory Dispatches, we’re keeping it short and sweet.

In this dispatch:

• Old Glory Recommends

  • First Blood is a Christmas Movie

You’re reading the newsletter of Old Glory Studios, an indie game studio where combat veterans make combat games. If this was forwarded to you, hit the link and

First Blood is a Christmas Movie

Everyone loves pointing out that Die Hard a Christmas movie, but so is First Blood. Rambo is just trying to visit his battle buddy for the holidays when Sheriff Will Teasle tries to run Rambo out of town. The sheriff is also a veteran. What a Blue Falcon.

In the words of John Rambo, NOTHING IS OVER!

This is our last dispatch of the year. We appreciate all of you who are here at the beginning of our journey as a studio.

2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for us, and as we get ready to take some big swings, I am a little nervous. I love that feeling. It’s like making a jump on a rainy night, when you step to the door of a C-130, the wind rushing around your ears, and all you can see outside is just a hint of gray clouds.

You’re prepared, you don’t hesitate, but you’re not quite sure how things will turn out. Whatever happens, you just know it’s going to be a heck of a ride. Thanks for coming with us.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

—Lewis Manalo, Executive Producer
