With Legacy, success is a game. If you can think like an entrepreneur, successfully designing and shipping products with the help of a well-managed workforce, you may just have what it takes to excel in a Legacy Design Competition!
Don’t let the relaxing feel of Legacy fool you. This game is a cutthroat strategy competition of time and resource management. Everything is laid back until that competition starts, then it’s all about the bottom line. You’ll be riding your workers hard and clicking for all you’re worth.
It’s all about the Gems, baby. It is only with Gems that you can enter Design Competitions, which are the only way to secure precious Legacy Tickets that convert to $GALA rewards.
Gem Packs are sold in varying quantities in the Gala Games store to ensure you always have the ability to jump on a Design Competition when you’re prepared to crush it!
As you advance through the game and build your business empire, you’ll unlock the ability to compete at higher leagues, where the prizes increase (but so do the Gem entry costs)!
Unlocking Design Competitions
Don’t worry! Your benefactors will not let you compete in a Design Competition until you’re ready, but once you’ve unlocked participation in your first competitions, you better not miss out!
Once you’re eligible to compete, you’ll see a notice up top informing you of the type of competition that’s coming up with a countdown until it begins.
There are two main focuses for Design Competitions in the early stages of Legacy:
Most Sales
In this type of competition, you’ll want to create a product that moves quickly, regardless of how much money you’ll make with each sale. Sometimes it’s all about proving to the clientele that you can keep up with their demand– Do that and you’re destined for big bucks in the biz world!
Most Revenue
These contests are all about bringing in cold, hard cash, no matter how complex the items you’re selling. This is when you can really push your entrepreneurial creativity to its limits to design some extravagant and expensive products. But be careful, speed also matters and you’ll want to strike a balance!
Limited Market
One of the easiest oversights for a new Legacy player that can cost you prizes is the market for your products. Check it out!
Once you’ve designed a product in your Factory’s Design Board, you’ll always have a limited market to work with before the demand runs out. A “Market Left” of 40 units may seem like a lot, but keep the following points in mind when you get rolling with a good product:
You’ll always be selling two units at a time, no matter your product, so think of 40 units as 20 sales.
When you’re effectively selling one product, be thinking about maximizing your next one.
Make sure your workers are getting enough rest to stay productive when it’s time to switch.
Most Design Competitions are an hour long, meaning you’ll have to shift products more than once!
Designing and selling with streamlined efficiency isn’t just a game of rushing. It’s about endurance and stamina as well. Make sure that you’re managing your build attentively, backing up your workers with your mouse play the whole time if you can. Don’t assume that just because they work without you that they don’t need you!
Good luck in your upcoming Design Competitions with Legacy!
If you haven’t played this awesome and unique game yet, we encourage you to give it a try. You can play either as a landowning Guild Leader (browse secondary market land here), or a Legacy Key player in someone else’s Guild. Either way, we think you’ll love it!
What are you waiting for? Time to build that Legacy!
, It’s not often that you see a new idea in this world of rewrites, revamps, and reiterations, which is why Legacy is totally unique in the gaming space. Running your Legacy gameplay with long term success is equivalent to building a thriving business. Players are called to manage the creation, production and sale of unique goods from the design board all the way to shipment and sale.
Monetizing player creativity through adapting to market conditions, then setting players against one another in a friendly (but heated) competition is what makes Legacy stand alone in the innovative world of web3 gaming.
Let’s take a look at Legacy for this edition of Gala’s Latest and Greatest in gaming.
Manage Your Business
Every Legacy player manages a business of their own. You start small on someone else’s dime, but eventually build up and expand to managing NPC workforces over your production lines. Once you’ve unlocked worker satisfaction ratings, be sure to give them things that enhance their ability to thrive in the workplace!
Legacy Keys
Just like in the business world, you’ll need someone else’s support to start building your Legacy, and this is where Legacy Keys come into play. When you start playing, you’ll select from an available Legacy Key, representing an investor prepared to back your business (for a share of your Gems, of course 🤑)
Along with the Ice Cream update from late January, the number of Legacy Keys included with each Guild has increased 5X – So not only is it a great time to manage a Guild, but more players than ever have a chance to get in the game and start building!
Legacy Guilds
Our most serious Legacy players own and manage Guilds of their own through ownership of a Legacy Deed NFT. Instead of land ownership (like many metaverse style gaming NFTs), Legacy Deeds entitle ownership of a Guild–a business that varies in size depending on the rarity of the Legacy Deed. For example, a Rare “Firm Deed” starts with 15 Legacy Keys, making for a substantial Guild and a nice passive Gem income for successful managers–But an Ancient “Heart of London Deed” starts off with a massive 500 Legacy Keys!
Legacy Deeds were sold out in the primary sale long ago, but prospective Guild managers can still browse them on the secondary market today!
Looking Ahead
Exciting things are in store as you continue building your Legacy throughout 2024!
Soon, the ability will be added for Legacy Guild owners to permanently upgrade their Deeds in-game, opening the door to even more hungry entrepreneurs in their Guilds.
Look for releases of new areas on the map, new ways to engage with your workforces, and exciting new product lines to put your entrepreneurial spirit to the test!
If you haven’t started playing Legacy yet, what are you waiting for? It’s free, so start building your empire!
We’re already almost a month into a new year, and since time is money, the team has already dropped another substantial update for Legacy players to enjoy! This update has a little something for everyone, from new Guild Management features to expanded messaging abilities–even a new frozen treat for product design! Let’s dig right in, because before you know it the spring thaw will be here!
Scream for Ice Cream
The newest product line is sure to be a mouth watering hit throughout the entire Gala Games ecosystem–That’s right, we’re throwing in ice cream as a brand new product line! As all you IRL ice cream connoisseurs know, icy treats can get pretty extravagant, especially on the competitive and gourmet level. With Legacy ice cream, like all available product lines, the name of the game is creating something that really stands out in the competitions.
Start producing your own ice cream creations now to take home Gems in the Design Competitions. But we must warn you–Producing ice cream on the design table may unleash the craving, so be sure to keep your real ice cream further than arm’s length while you play!
Expansions and Pay Raises
Your town’s workers will absolutely love this first update–They’ve all gotten a pay raise, so pat yourself on the back. We’re certain that their increased motivation will make the additional expense well worth it for your growing business.
New Paints, Patterns and Stickers have been added to the Design Table’s right side drawers, enhancing your ability to customize your products! Don’t forget–You can also update your avatar with the latest colors and patterns to give yourself that business chic edge.
Guild Management Updates
The Guild Management menu has received a substantial upgrade, making it easier than ever to set your Guild rules, manage membership and send messages to your Guildmates!
More Deed Keys
Great news for Guild leaders! Every single one of you now has a lot more Legacy Keys up for grabs, so get ready to accept eager new upstarts to share your success.
To play Legacy, you must join a Guild, because you just can’t make it alone in the business world. Every Guild leader gets a number of Legacy Keys, based on the rarity of their Land Deed. With this update, every Guild leader now starts with 5 times as many Legacy Keys!
Keep in mind that the Legacy Key numbers listed below only refer to starting Keys, and owners will later have the ability to purchase more Legacy Keys for their Guilds.
Startup Deed (Common)
Previous: 0 Legacy Keys Now: 1 Legacy Key
Enterprise Deed (Uncommon)
Previous: 1 Legacy Key Now: 5 Legacy Keys
Firm Deed (Rare)
Previous: 3 Legacy Keys Now: 15 Legacy Keys

Conglomerate Deed (Legendary)

Heart of London (Ancient)
Previous: 100 Legacy Keys Now: 500 Legacy Keys
Guild leaders–Get ready for an influx of new players by making sure your Guild rules are set where you want them and your reward split is in the sweet spot! Making a good strategic decision about the Guild reward split could make the difference between packing your Guild with go-getters or good-for-nothings, so choose wisely!
That’s a wrap for this update; now get out there and build your Legacy before someone else does!
