We are thrilled to announce that Legacy V2 will officially open for public access on August 1, 2026! This is a major milestone for us, and we can’t wait for you to experience everything we’ve been building.
What’s Ready Now
The majority of our core gameplay features have been implemented and are in a fairly stable place. This includes the core game loops that define Legacy—breeding, training, showing, jobs, and stable management. We’ve tested these systems extensively during our Patreon alpha period and are confident they’re ready for the public.
Important note: Even features we consider “completed” may be subject to change in the future based on player feedback, balance adjustments, and ongoing improvements. We’re committed to continuously refining the game to make it the best experience possible.
However, it’s important to be transparent about what’s still in progress.
Features Still Being Developed
While the core gameplay is solid, several features remain unimplemented or partially implemented. These include:
- The forum and clubs system
- Various quality-of-life improvements
- Additional tweaks and minor features
We’ll be announcing more about these upcoming features in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for detailed development updates.
Important: Read the Wiki Before Launch
Please take the time to read through our wiki before the V2 public launch. We cannot stress this enough.
Legacy V2 features numerous significant changes compared to V1, particularly to the show system. These changes fundamentally impact how the game is balanced and played. Understanding these changes before you dive in will help you make better decisions for your ranch and get much more enjoyment out of the game.
What to Expect: Bugs Are Normal
Although we believe V2 is stable enough to open to the public, please keep in mind that there will still be bugs and gameplay issues—especially as we continue adding new features and refining existing ones.
We’re a small, two-person team. Importantly, only one of us (Whitney) handles coding and bug-fixing, and we both still maintain full-time primary jobs outside of Legacy development. We give this project everything we can, but we ask for your patience and understanding as we continue to improve and refine the game.
If you encounter bugs, please report them! Your feedback is invaluable and helps us make the game better for everyone.
Patreon Continues After Launch
For those wondering about our Patreon after the public launch: yes, it’s staying! Our Patreon community will remain active with all existing perks intact. Patreon supporters will continue to receive the benefits they’ve earned, and we’ll continue to develop additional perks and exclusive content for our supporters going forward. Thank you for your ongoing support!
Thank You
We can’t express enough how grateful we are for your support as we’ve developed V2. This community has been instrumental in shaping the game into what it is today. We’re genuinely excited for you to experience everything V2 has to offer.
See you on August 1st!
