Hi! I’m currently developing Your Legacy: Generations, a game I’ve been building this year. I'm hoping for some community feedback & suggestions on the core fundamentals of the game. This is a Windows based game, I hope to have a web version available later this week.

Your Legacy: Generations is a casual top down life sim game initially inspired by the Sierra classic Jones in The Fast Lane. We have hopefully designed this game in a way it can be picked up and put down at any point, easily picking up from where you left off. Our game allows the player to live their life by their own choices.

With over 350 jobs and career options available, stock markets, property investments and dozens of start your own business options available. Our differentiator is that once you get old, the game doesn't complete. You essentially prestige or pass down your legacy to a chosen heir. With this legacy comes traits to assist the heir and a portion of the family inheritance.

In this vein, the game becomes endless. It also becomes somewhat of a choose your own adventure. How many generations will it take to own a private island? Will the next generation choose to become property moguls or start and grow into an international business?

Once we have the proof of concept down pat and your feedback we will look to expand on the other elements of the game. We will also look to provide a social element if this gathers enough interest, with leaderboards or weekly challenges where the community can compete to perform various goals.

I’m looking for players to test out the fundamental concept of the game, let us know honestly where the game is fun, confusing, repetitive etc. We have released a 2 hour play test to perform this function which should be sufficient to complete one generation and try out a second with inherited traits and funding.

Playtime: 2 hour playtest however game is essentially endless
Platform: Windows Desktop Computer executable (Requires Mouse or trackpad)
Download/account: None
Cost: Free
Stage: Pre-release playtest; Still substantial distance to release but fully playable & enjoyable imo

Play here: https://icq-gaming.itch.io/your-legacy-generations

No installation is required—download, extract and run the executable. No information is passed back to our systems so your feedback is immensely valuable. New versions are being made daily however only stable versions will be uploaded once or twice per week.

Developer involvement: I’m the game designer. Disclosure: Some AI has been used in some of my weakness areas as placeholders which will be replaced once we have our proof of concept. As a solo creator please don't use this as a negative towards the game.

I've been developing a life sim game this year. Looking for some feedback on it's foundations & direction. I've used AI in some of my weakness areas but the game is currently a proof of model. Once i've got feedback on it's feasibility I can put funds into those aspects.

Your Legacy: Generations is a life, business and financial strategy game where every character becomes part of a continuing family story. Choose careers, earn qualifications, build businesses, invest in shares & property and decide what the next generation will inherit.

- Build your life, then pass down your inheritance and traits to the next generation. Essentially try different approaches on every generation. First gen you might be a school teacher, second maybe a home owner, third a business owner, fourth you may look at stock market trading or become a property mogul. Each generation is essentially a prestige type reset.

- As a youngster I absolutely loved Jones in the Fast Lane. This game started inspired by Jones however over time has developed into a deeper (but still casual) life sim where choices matter & decisions mean something.

If you are still reading this far, i'd love to get your input into the game. Good and bad. Still lots of ironing out to do but it's fully playable with this two hour time release. Your feedback is important.
