Yeah yeah, you've heard this one before (more than once from me) but this one is for sure! Those of you who know me know that I've tried to make games, some went quite far, some went not so far, etc... This one though will stick.
So anyway, after a couple years of not making any proper progress on anything or really even attempting anything on the scale what what I've attempted in the past I decided to give it another go. This is a project I've been working on for a few months, and I'm really happy with the progress.
Everything you're about to see and read is of a game that is pre-alpha, so just note that a lot of this will probably change.
Taking inspiration from the Guild 2, SÆLIG is a game about life, death, family, and money. You are initially given control of a lone character in a village or town, and with a handful of coins you must make your fortune. You can buy and upgrade businesses, hire employees, buy new houses, trade goods between markets, conduct dodgy dealings, find love, start a family, and even try your hand at becoming Thegn. Once you die (murder, old age, infection, etc) you will be able to continue on as one of your children and continue the struggle for prosperity.
You and your family aren't the only thing you need to look after in SÆLIG though, it takes everyone to hold a town together. Over time you will see the town develop and grow, which is a direct result of not only yours, but the actions of every civilian living there. In times of need you'll be able to step up and help out to ensure that not only your family, but your town has a future. Or maybe not - perhaps you'd rather see everything burn?
SÆLIG starts in the year 880AD, a time when England was home to the Anglo-Saxons and Danelaw. You will start as a Saxon in Wessex territory with more territories and maps opening up as the game progresses and the Saxons take back land from the Vikings. While the primary focus of the game for the player is to establish a mighty family and or business empire, there is a ever-present war happening around you which can threaten your goal so it will also be important to keep tabs on this and help in anyway that you can.
By default each game day represents a season, and each four seasons represent two years, these times can be changed to make the game longer or shorter though. The end date of a single game is yet to be decided, but 1016, & 1066 are both good contenders for this.
I chose the Anglo-Saxons because I've always really liked the era and the artifacts and it's an opportunity to learn more about them. While everyone I know is obsessing about Vikings, I sit their silently thinking about Saxons.
