SÆLIG

(Old English: blessed, fortunate, prosperous, happy)
880 A.D.
England.
At its core SÆLIG is a trading and management game centred around the accumulation of wealth, and the prosperity of your household. You will be in charge of managing the life and affairs of a young Anglo-Saxon in the kingdom of Wessex, a kingdom at constant war with Vikings. It is in this world that you must find a way to thrive, and make a name for your family.
SÆLIG also incorporates many role-playing and simulation features, including: relationships, buffs, skills, health, missions, needs, character based interactions, and direct character control.
There are numerous ways you can live your life, each one brings both risk and reward

Find love, and start a family.
Start a business, hire workers, and produce the goods that people need, as well as luxury items.
Make your fortune by trading between towns.
Head a gang of thieves and take what you want.
Sabotage your competition and monopolize goods.
Accept and carry out missions to deliver goods around the map.

Some other key features

A living, breathing world, where each character is trying to survive and prosper.
Each character has their own life from start to finish and has the potential to shape the world around them, just like you.
Live through several generations – when you die, you can continue as your one of your children.
Dynamic seasons and weather that affects the world around you.
Lots of different types of buildings to purchase and upgrade.
Fires and diseases have the potential to not only decimate your home, but also towns and villages all over the map.
Living economy - nothing simply exists, everything is made and consumed by the population.

SÆLIG is not feature complete and at this point there is currently no construction or land ownership, instead you can only buy buildings. These features will be added once I have fleshed out other base mechanics.
(Linux version coming after initial release)

Progress Report

Hey folks,

Updates to SÆLIG have been quite thin for a while now so I wanted to post this article to show you all some of the progress that has been made. Update 16 is well under way and there has been a lot of new stuff added, but we're not finished yet.

I'm delighted to be able to show off this new content.

Renting Houses
This allows you to rent out your unoccupied houses. The rent is paid to you at the end of every day and is based on the value of the house - so the more upgraded a house is, the higher rent will be, but you can also make manual adjustments. Game Description Image

Compare Markets
This allows you to see the stock of items at all markets at a quick glance.

New Map
A very large map with a lot of cool stuff - still a fair bit to do on this.

Wilderness Buildings
Some people will choose to live out in the forest at camps and the like. There will also be abandoned buildings. Unoccupied wilderness buildings can be claimed by the player. Game Description Image

New Buildings
A lot of new buildings. Houses are now way more dynamic and are randomly customised from a large pool of possibilities when you start a new game.

New Props
A lot of new props of all kinds with plenty of variation.
- Basic Beds
- Better Beds
- General village props Game Description Image

Existing Map Updates
I have decided to also upgrade the existing maps to incorporate the new buildings and features from the new map. Previously I was going to replace these maps all together, but for now I will upgrade them.

Buy Already Owned Buildings
Buy buildings directly from the AI by offering more than the value. Calculated based on relationship stats. Game Description Image

Ducks
Most importantly of all, ducks will now swim if they venture into water.

There is also a wide range of general improvements and fixes to look forward to.

I'll try to keep you all updated on progress. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Cheers,
Stardog.
