With the tokenization of in-game property becoming more popular all the time in the web3 world, Legacy is here to put a unique spin on NFT ownership.
Legacy is a game about entrepreneurial success, about building an enterprise from the ground up by designing and selling products. Through the game’s Design Competitions, you can compete against other players all over the world to design the most creative products around and sell them with the greatest efficiency.
Your “Land” in Legacy
When you get in the game, you’re joining the entrepreneurial elite who bet on themselves for success, whether you’re a Guild owning Legacy Tycoon sharing in the success of those you empower or an aspiring go-getter joining a Guild to chase your dreams on someone else’s dime.
Leading a Guild with a Deed
The only way to play Legacy on this level is to own a Legacy Deed, the equivalent to NFT land in Legacy. These Deeds are not currently available in the Gala Games store, but can often be found on the secondary market at OpenSea.
Each Legacy Deed unlocks your ability to organize and manage a Legacy Guild. Recruiting for your Guild is easy– In fact, the game will do it for you. As a Guild owner, you have a certain number of Legacy Keys with which players can join your Guild. The higher the rarity of your Legacy Deed, the more Legacy Keys you get, and the more members your Guild will have.
Legacy Deed NFTs exist in 5 different rarities. Click the heading links to view the items on OpenSea.
Please note that if you purchase a Legacy Deed from the secondary market, you will need to bridge it to GalaChain before configuring your Guild and recruiting players. This is done easily by connecting your Ethereum wallet to your Gala account. Learn more about connecting your web3 wallet here.
Joining a Guild with a Key
The best part about playing as a Legacy Keyholder is that you don’t need to go searching for a Guild to join. As long as Legacy Keys are available, you’ll be able to join a Guild as part of the initial game interface.
It’s tough in the world of business-building. If you want to make it big, you need to connect with a good leader– In Legacy, that means a good Guild.
When you first launch the game through the Gala Games launcher, you’ll be prompted to choose a Guild from the available options. When you select a Guild and get started, the Legacy Key and its access to the game will be yours.
The number of Legacy Keys for each Guild is determined by the Deed’s rarity:
Startup – 1 Legacy Key
Enterprise – 5 Legacy Keys
Firm – 15 Legacy Keys
Corporation – 50 Legacy Keys
Conglomerate – 125 Legacy Keys
Heart of London – 500 Legacy Keys
Qualities of an Effective Guild Leader
As a Legacy Deed NFT owner, you’re also the owner of the responsibility to run a Legacy Guild. Because you’re working with self-starting entrepreneurs, not much hand-holding is necessary, but as the boss, you get to call the shots.
In the same way that each Legacy player must keep a close eye on their town’s workers, ensuring they are rested and not overworked, each Guild leader must strike a proper balance for their Guildmates.
Setting an Effective Reward Split – The Guild leader can choose any percentage split they like for sharing Legacy Ticket rewards generated from Design Competitions in the game. With 50 active players for a Corporation Deed and 125 for a Conglomerate Deed, Guild leaders can benefit substantially from a meager reward share of even 1-2%, which will go virtually unnoticed by Keyholding players.
Sending Guild Messages – The Guild leader is called to rally the troops and coordinate strategies, building relationships with their Guildmates and preparing for the game’s expanded future features.
Kicking Inactive Players – While it is not a requirement, every Guild leader has the right to kick players from their Guild at any time and for any reason.
Start Playing Today
Your Legacy is waiting in this delightful free-to-play game created by 22cans. Become a titan of industry, competing for awesome prizes and unparalleled prestige!
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!
