ABOUT THE GAME
Explore. Expand. Build. Decide.
Legacy of Sol™ is a story-driven sci-fi 4X RTS where your strategic choices and the story shape each other. Explore the galaxy, build functioning colonies, develop new technologies, and command your fleets in real time.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS
Small team. Big universe.
Legacy of Sol™ is being created by a small independent development team. We combine more than 25 years of development experience with a passion for space strategy, classic science fiction, and story-driven games.
We are not building a generic space game. We are creating a world where exploration matters, decisions have consequences, and a single diplomatic or military move can change the fate of entire star systems.
The game will be completed regardless of community funding. Community support can help us move faster, create more content, begin testing sooner, and realize the full vision at a higher visual, musical, and technical standard.

SUPPORT MILESTONES
The base game will be completed.
The base game will be completed.
Support raises the full vision to a higher level.
Development of Legacy of Sol™ continues independently of community support. Reached milestones make additional content, deeper systems, and a higher audiovisual standard possible.
Enhanced audiovisual quality
More and longer story cinematics, more detailed scenes, unique faction introductions, additional character portraits, advanced visual effects, new system backgrounds and space phenomena. More professional sound effects, additional original musical themes, dynamic music, and narrated key scenes.
Deeper galactic story
More side missions, more complex mission chains, more decision points and alternative solutions. Deeper lore, an integrated galactic encyclopedia, faction, technology and historical databases, hidden storylines, ruins, abandoned ships and ancient facilities.
Richer diplomacy
A more detailed relationship system with reputation and trust, trade and research agreements, neutrality and non-aggression pacts, mediation, treaty violations, betrayal, joint campaigns, sanctions, and trade blockades.
Expanded strategic systems
Galactic events such as supernovae, epidemics, coups, pirate invasions, and technological breakthroughs. Deeper colony management with planetary specialization, satisfaction, local politics, construction chains and migration, plus fleet doctrines, admirals, and automated resupply.
Standalone battle simulator
Assemble friendly and enemy fleets, choose ship levels, technologies, planetary defense units, environments, AI behavior and tactical formations, then analyze battle results and losses independently of the campaign.
Galaxy-builder sandbox mode
Create your own galaxy: set its size, number of star systems, factions and starting positions, technology level, resource abundance, AI difficulty, diplomatic relations, pirate activity, story events, and victory conditions.
These milestones represent expansions beyond the planned base-game content. The detailed technical scope of the listed features may change during design and testing while preserving each milestone’s core purpose and value. Every reached level also helps us involve additional programmers, artists, animators, composers, writers, translators, and testers.
DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP
The next milestones
Our public, deliberately conservative roadmap based on the current state of development.
Second half of 2026
Development and internal testing
Integrating game systems, expanding story stages, technical stabilization, and continuous internal testing.
Christmas 2026
Closed alpha for Founders and Patrons
Our goal is for eligible Founder and Patron supporters to be the first to try the alpha build in development and provide direct feedback.
First half of 2027
Closed beta for Explorers, Founders and Patrons
During the closed beta, eligible Explorer, Founder and Patron supporters can test the game more broadly and help refine it through their feedback.
Autumn 2027
Balance, bug fixing and content refinement
Based on testing, we will fix issues, refine gameplay and balance, and finalize the content required for public release.
Q4 2027
Target public release of the full game
Public release of the final Legacy of Sol™ and delivery of digital game copies to eligible supporters.
The schedule is a target and may change based on development and testing. Completion of Legacy of Sol™ does not depend on the amount of community funding; contributions increase the game’s depth, richness of content, and audiovisual quality.

Display order: supporters are displayed in descending order by the package fee paid. For equal package fees, alphabetical order by supporter name determines the order.
The exact size, placement, duration, and visual treatment of supporter names and logos will be determined before final release, taking into account the number of supporters, support amounts, and the technical and visual constraints of each surface. All recognition will follow the game’s unified visual identity.
Supporter recognition does not provide ownership, decision-making rights, or gameplay advantages. Names and logos may appear only after prior approval and in a lawful form consistent with the game’s identity.
The timing, duration, technical conditions, and participant count of alpha and beta testing depend on the current state of development. Tester access does not grant decision-making or approval rights regarding development.
