Were Back
We have been away and took a long hard look at the game.
Many meetings and long hard nights drinking coffee, coupled with banging heads on desks have gone into this 10YA.
10YA has undergone lots of work and the first release of the new 10YA will be due soon.
We have took all views on board and we have decided to take 10YA back to its roots.
Focusing on the Story and Survival Aspects of the game.
We have just released a teaser trailer enjoy

[Official Notice] About Company Change
Hello. Today we have a notice about the company change.
Actually, We already have mentioned about this through
previous announcement's, but decide to make a official notice to make situation more clear.
This game, '10 Years After' was developed and serviced by 'TenTreeGames' so far.
However, the IP(all rights) of this game recently(actually a few months ago) was taken over by RPG(actually us.)
And now, we are setting in the development team, and looking into game resources which we received and so on.
The websites and Facebook,Twitter,Youtube accounts for "TenTreeGames" have all gone offline while we move them over to RPG.
The Steam Dev Account has been passed over to us at RPG and the previous owner "AlwaysDead" now has no rights to the "10 Years After" steam page.
There seems to of been a lot of negativity regarding RPG taking over, this has all stemmed from us being to eager to make the announcement and using the old websites/facebook/steam account to inform you.
It has taken time for us to get things transferred over properly but things are now in motion.
Actually, it is taking more time than we originally expected.
During our preparing period (it can take a few months from now.),
we think that you, the players, may get angry and bored because of some existing problems and no updates.
We feel very sorry about this, and are trying to make the whole switch over as smooth as possible.
That's all at today. We will try to communicate with you, as often as we can
through this announcement.
But due to all the things that need to be sorted this page is not manned 24/7 at the moment once "Chapter 1" releases we will be able to maintain the steam forum at a better rate.
Have a good day. Thank you.
Best regards,
RPG
