A little help?

Hi, folks! So, here’s the deal:

We delayed the majority of the most recent update and felt bad about that but there wasn’t anything we could do. School was and still is getting in the way. Zenesy and I have been working on this game for over two years now and we have been struggling with burnout while trying to balance college and graduate school. With that in mind, we will now be doing surveys every two - three months and updates along the same lines. This is an unfortunate setback for us because monthly updates were something we were very proud of.

However, we are searching for experienced ChoiceScript code writers to join our team. This is not against the community guidelines, as we are all coding and will be coding together at the same time. You would have a trial of two weeks with one-two assignments from us during that time. All jobs are contracted as unpaid until you have done work with us for six months or more. After that, we will pay you an agreed upon price once the game comes out on the market. Everything we do we try to be fair. Whether you can work with us for one week, six months, or two years - WE WILL TAKE IT. Whatever you can offer to help us out. I’d like to take a moment and thank everyone who has already helped out for a period of time. You helped us get through the hard times.

We would like to get back to posting updates every month. So please help us out so we can do that!

If you are not on the ChoiceScript forum, you can get on there via instructions from our last post. 

[thelegaciesteam]

With the familiar update now out on our choice of games forum page, we have decided to take a break from Tumblr. This may be a temporary break or a forever one. Our game updates will still be actively posted monthly on our forum page. 

You can access our forum page through https://forum.choiceofgames.com/ , creating an account for yourself and enabling adult content. Then you can find us under the Adult Content category. 

It has been very fun finding GIFs for these updates, so we leave you with the infamous familiar Salem as a parting gift. 

Sincerely, 

The Legacies Team

5/31/21 update: Prison additions -  shop, conjugal visit, prison inventory, prison calls, prison mail and prison jobs

We’re back, baby! Going to prison is looking more and more enticing with every update, making even murder darkly appealing. 

Suffer the plotting, killing, and court investigation no longer. Now you can cheat your way right to prison to test out our newest additions! Note, you’ll want to play as vampire kind in prison. 

Money & Prison  Jobs

Before we get started, let’s talk money. Your character’s money won’t travel with them into the prison world (yet), so you’ll have to get a prison job and click the Next Turn button to see any cash flow. You can monitor your money in your prison stat screen. You can also see how much money you have by selecting the shop menu. 

The jobs you can currently get are: 

Electrician

Janitor .3

Cook

Gardener 

A later update might include particular benefits to each job. 

Shop

This little mechanic acts as a spring board for any future ideas we (or you) might have. The most important thing, as well as the only currently functional thing, is the condoms. You still have to stay safe from spreading sexual diseases in prison, unless you are vampire kind. 

Because prison is mainly created for vampires right now, condoms will eventually prevent pregnancy if you happen to tango with anyone of the opposite sex while incarcerated, such as if you are approved for a conjugal visit. 

The items we have for you to buy from the shop are: 

Condoms (both male and female) 

Toilet paper

Towel

Shower shoes

Tampons and pads (only available at female prisons) 

Along with shopping comes a handy inventory system. After purchasing something from the shop, you can go to your prison stats and click My Items to view your purchases. 

Conjugal Visits 

So, you’ve got a bae back home and you want to spend some quality time together. Search no further! 

Being part of a prison gang and/or having Counsel support will help your chances of being allowed to have a conjugal visit because...you know. The scare factor. 

In a future update, you can have the chance of pregnancy during one of these visits. 

Prison Calls

This is an easy way to keep good relationships with your loved ones and coworkers back home. 

There are many randomized talking points for the people you talk to. For example, the topic will be different when talking to your lover as opposed to a coworker. You can also talk to your parents, your spouse, and your friends. 

These randomized talking points add a bit of immersion and give your character a relationship boost with whoever they are talking to. 

There are even talking points if you have a baby, if you have a vampire child of a certain age group, if you have a human child of a certain age group, if you have human or vampire parents, human or vampire friends, etc. Everything is tailored to who you are on the phone with. 

The outcomes are short, but you should end up with at least several different outcomes every time you call the same person. 

Prison Mail 

Just like letters you send in real life, sometimes you will hear back from the person and sometimes you won’t. You can send a letter to anyone back home except children under two. 

The main purpose of this mechanism is for simple relationship boosting. If you receive a letter back, your relationship with them increases. If you don’t receive a letter, your relationship stays the same.

3/31/21 update: Blood sharing and diseases

Happy one year of Legacies! Legacies has officially been a public demo for a full year. So much progress has been made and it couldn't have been done without your encouragement!

Blood Sharing

We've been thinking about this one for a while. So, you're part of the vampire kind and you want someone special to make it on your Blood Bond list or you want the benefits of blood sharing. You don't want to drain them half to death in order to share your blood and you don't want to turn them into a vampire, so what do you do?

Well, we have an answer for you! Now you can share your blood with just about anyone. Blood sharing doesn't require a lot of Control and it's relatively easy to do.

Sharing blood has the following effects:

It lowers your Stress

It increases your relationship

It increases your Control (if you share with another vampire)

And it adds a Blood Bond

Blood Bonds are a great way to keep tabs on people, but we will explore that deeper in a later update.

If you're sharing your blood with a human, you'll have the option of sharing it secretly or publicly. The benefit of sharing secretly is that (currently) it works every time. The human you're trying to share with won't say no...because, duh, they don't know you're doing it.

You'll get a relationship bonus and lose some Control, but your job is done. You'll have several randomized events that will play when you click this option.

When you choose to share your blood with them publicly, that just means they get the option of saying no. Vampire racists are more likely to say no...rather rudely. You'll get a fair relationship deduction if that happens.

If they agree to take your blood, you will see some randomized outcomes and you'll get a nice relationship bonus and a small decrease in Control.

You can also share your blood with another vampire. The benefit here is that it comes with a Stress reduction because you're not only sharing your blood, you're drinking some of theirs. It's an intimate act between vampire kind that not everyone will say yes to.

Diseases

Beyond Blood Bonds, Stress reduction, and relationship increasing, one of the major benefits to sharing your blood with humans is its healing powers.

Currently, when you share your blood with a human that has a disease they will be healed instantly. (We are adding a slow healing option in the future.)

When someone you know such as lover, partner, parent or friend develops a disease, you will get a big Stress increase.

Who can develop diseases? Humans. Duh.

If you're playing as a human, you can't develop diseases yet because we haven't implemented how you can be treated for the disease.

But, if you're playing one of the vampire kind, you can play the hero and help the little humans out if you so choose.

You can discover a human you care about has a disease through an event notification.

The diseases thus far are:

Cancer

Diabetes

Arthritis

Heart disease

Cystic fibrosis

Fibromyalgia

Gallstones

And kidney stones

Once you've healed the human, your Stress will decrease but...understandably it was a stressful time for you, so Stress only goes down a bit.

3/2/21 update: Career events

We’re finally back with an update! Big thanks to everyone who participated in the February survey. 

Because of the nature of the update, vampire are not exempt from being fired, demoted, or reprimanded (for now). 

Work Reputation

So, you’ve landed your dream job as a prostitute or a doctor. What’s next is setting your work hours. You can choose to work more hours which could result in your boss praising you, or you can choose to work less. Choosing to work less hours doesn’t always pay off because your boss won’t generally like it and you might get a talking to. 

The benefit of lowering your work hours is less stress. The more you work for that promotion, the more stress you will accumulate. 

You’ll notice something new called Work Reputation when you click on the Jobs menu. Keeping an eye on this will show you when you’re up for a potential promotion. 

Work Reputation will also increase if you have sexual relations with your boss. More on that below. 

Promotions

Work hard enough for enough hours and you might get a promotion. Your pay will also increase! 

Demotions and Being Fired

Demotions or being fired happens if you’ve been slacking at work. if you aren’t working enough hours, particularly, and your Work Reputation is low. 

Being fired can increase stress. 

When you’re being fired your options are:

Beg for your job back

Accept your fate

Offer body

If you have high Social Intelligence you might be able to keep your job with the begging option. 

But, you aren’t interested in that. Let’s talk about having sex with your boss.

We are creating a risky game and we know it. So, why not let you sleep with your boss? Our thoughts exactly. 

When you offer your body to your boss, they might not accept the offer. But...if they do, you get to keep your job and make love on either the sofa, chair, against the wall or on the floor. Your boss will not be added to your lovers list yet and you cannot bite them or have pregnancy options yet. 

Your Love Making skill doesn’t really matter here, but you’ll get different text depending on your skill level. 

Suggestive Coworkers

Last but not least, your coworkers might suggest a more intimate setting with you. Asexual player characters can still receive this event, and anyone can deny the coworker’s advances.

If you deny your coworker, you will lose relationship points with them. 

Should you accept, you can make love on  either the sofa, chair, against the wall or on the floor.

If your love making isn’t good, it will reduce your relationship points with that person, BUT they will be added to your lovers list (if you have a free spot). So, you’ll have the option of clicking over there and making it up to them.

If your love making was good, you get an increase in your relationship and they will be added to your lovers list. Once in your lovers list, you can bite them (if you are a vampire) and use the pregnancy features. But, for the initial sex scene with them as your coworker, you don’t get the biting or pregnancy options yet.

12/31/20 update: Protégé events and stuff you didn’t know you needed

It’s that time of the month again. No, not that time of the month. It’s the time of the month when we give you updates and you smile gratefully at our noble efforts. 

(Note: Some of the events below require you to have multiple Protégés...also, a fun drinking game might be to drink every time I will say the word Protégés) 

Protégé Events

Vampire blood isn’t just useful for healing humans of wounds you’ve inflicted. It’s also useful for keeping tabs on your Protégés and their ever changing moods. 

You can now get notifications for your Protégés’ emotions, which help you understand how your actions are affecting the Protégés as a whole. Yes, now your evil actions against your Protégés will have stress consequences on you when you sense how your Protégés are feeling. 

If your Protégés are feeling depressed or angry (or even sexually excited) you will know about it and feel it second hand. 

Big thanks to Jackpot1776 for this idea and for helping this update happen. 

On another note, if your Protégés run away, you just might be able to find them with your Blood Bond. That vampire blood really can come in handy. 

Now there’s an event where your Protégés can run off and you can try to find them. They will try to run away if their Fear is high. (You can keep an eye on Fear and Loyalty in the Protégé menu) In doing so, you will have several options when you catch them. 

You can give them permission to leave, which will raise Loyalty of your remaining Protégés

You can (non-lethally) punish them and bring them back

Or you can attack them with the intention to kill

Should you choose to kill them, they will either be able to flee your wrath or be killed brutally by your hand. A runaway Protégé killing will increase Loyalty because it is a “just” punishment. Take that how you will. 

But, not all Protégés will run away without warning. some might come to you and beg for you to release them (thanks, True Blood). 

You can ignore the request

You can grant their request and increase group Loyalty from the Protégés left

Punish them

Or attack them with the intention to kill

Your Protégés may also plot against you in a separate event if they have high Fear. Find the source of the whispers and punish them justly, oh mighty ruler. 

Alternatively, let’s say you haven’t driven your Protégés away. 

Depending on your rules on human relationships, your Protégés might find themselves tempted by the pleasures of mortal flesh. And we’re not just talking about blood. 

Your Protégés might become romantically entangled with a human or two. If you don’t approve of this in the rules prior to this event showing up, you can justly punish the offending Protégé. 

If your Protégés are particularly peckish, they may hire some blood donors for an evening snack. You’ll drink your fill too, of course. But keep an eye on the Protégé money fund, as hiring donors costs a pretty penny and your Protégés will need that money for housing. 

And lastly, if your Protégés are living in an abandoned building because you are a cheapskate they will complain about their living conditions and that can decrease Loyalty and increase your stress. 

If you cram them all into a small apartment and there are three or more of them living there, they will complain about that too, which can increase your stress and increase Fear. 

Finally, if your Protégés run out of money because they spent it all on blood donors or because you stole it all (ahem) they will be kicked out of their housing.

11/30/20 update: skill classes, the prostitution career, and careers unlocked

No lies. As soon as you read that title you got a little too excited for the long awaited prostitution career, didn’t you? Hey, no judgement here. We’re the ones who coded it! 

Classes

This is something we resurrected from the coding grave. Believe it or not, we had code for this back in early 2019. 

The classes you can take currently are: 

Dancing

Cooking 

Art Class

Yoga

Glamoring (but it’s more like a study session)

You can choose to take a class once every three turns. All classes except for studying Glamoring will cost you a bit of money. Think of it as if you are taking classes for the whole of that one month. 

In order to study Glamoring, you have to be vampire kind. That is, either a Turned Vampire, Pure-Blooded, or Halfling.

You can access classes from the main menu after you’ve created your character. 

Whenever you take a class, you have a chance of gaining the desired skill or walking away having learned nothing. Who knows...maybe you were too busy playing BitLife during class. 

After the completion of a month of classes, you will get some text saying something about the class you took. Whether it informs you that you just learned the history of “jazz hands” or that your brain feels like it’s turning to mush from all the cheesy vampire novels you’re studying, you should get a fun little randomized notification. 

These notifications could be different every time you take the same class. 

Prostitution Career 

Right now, you’ll notice that this career mostly looks the same as the other careers. There is one major difference, however. Once you have this career and play a few turns, you might just end up with an STD. 

Since vampire kind cannot get STDS, this only applies to humans. 

We plan to expand on all of the careers to include more small things like this one, as well as bigger aspects. 

Careers Unlocked

For the demo, we decided it was time to allow you all to have the career you want without having to have the corresponding degree for it. We will keep it like this for a good long while. :)

[thelegaciesteam]

Hello! So Tumblr was having some issues. Hence, a late posting of this update. Sorry for the delay!

10/31/20 update: biting and killing outside of sex and interactable Protégés

There’s no better way to get into the festive Halloween spirit like murdering your virtual loved ones and spending the next decade in jail, right? That’s what we thought too.

Biting & killing

We’ve all had our fun killing lovers, partners and spouses while in the act…but that hankering for your virtual father’s spicy cologne dabbed throat just doesn’t seem to go away. Well now you can act on that darker impulse. Parents, coworkers, friends, your children (kind of), romantic interests, even your boss…nearly everyone is available for you to sink your fangs into. No romantic actions have to be underway for you to let your inner demon free. Simply click on the Vampire Menu, click the new Feed option, choose your victim with or without their permission, and get down to it. People don’t really like forced bites, so don’t be surprised if your relationship decreases. That is…if that human is still alive when you’re done with them.

Interacting with Protégés

You’ve turned someone you know into a vampire. Now what? Well, living as the undead has some perks. Like forcing people you’ve turned into vampires to pay you money every month.

You can access the Protégé menu through the Vampire Menu. You’ll see some stats here like Loyalty and Fear. Loyalty can be built through positive actions toward your Protégés, as well as deserved punishments. Fear can be built through negative actions such as forcing Protégés to pay large amounts of money or undeserved punishments. But, more on that in another update.

Here’s what your options are:

Give them blood (buying blood)

Share blood as a group (drinking each other’s blood)

Set group rules

Change housing situation

Manage group money

Punish

Giving Blood: Buying blood for your Protégés is a simple way to increase Loyalty. You can do this as if you are buying bottled blood for yourself from the Vampire Menu.

Sharing Blood: Sharing blood also increases Loyalty, unless you have to force someone into doing it. Forcing a blood exchange will also cause some loss to your relationship with that person. A successful blood exchange increases Loyalty, Control and decreases Stress.

Setting Rules: Micromanaging your Protégés has never been so easy. Have you always wanted to be part of a coven of vampire “vegetarians”? Or maybe a coven of stone hearted killers? You can choose what type of blood Protégés are allowed to have, their hunting permissions, and what human relationships they are allowed to engage in. In the future, these can trigger events.

Housing: Housing your Protégés is kind of a big deal. You’ll want to make sure they have a roof over their heads, lest something unfortunate happens. Protégés will automatically need somewhere to live once you turn them into vampires because they will leave their human families, as is the vampiric custom. They’ll have to pay rent every month on whatever property you choose for them, once you set that option in the manage money section.

Manage Money: Once monthly contributions of rent are coming in, you’ll notice it’s not going directly to you. That’s because your Protégés are paying off the rent directly. You can take money from the group fund, but just make sure there’s enough in there to pay rent on time or else they’ll be homeless! You can also give them money if you’re feeling charitable.

Punishments

Punishments are common in vampire culture. As a Sire, you have the right and the duty to mold your Protégés into who you want them to be. When your Protégés are out of line, punishments are the only way to set them straight. Currently, none of your Protégés rightfully deserve punishment, but for the sake of the mechanics, go ahead and try it out! Punishments can be as simple as forcing your Protégés to pray to The Goddess or Gods, or (right now) as brutal as ending their afterlife.

Finally, religion is hinted at! Blood sacrifices can be part of repentance. Your Protégés can cut themselves, buy bottled blood to sacrifice, or sacrifice an animal or a human. Human sacrifice will cost you 1 Soul point and you’ll have a dead body to deal with.

You can also make a Protégé pay you money directly. This will of course cause a drop in Loyalty and your relationship with them, but it’s nice for your bank account.

Some options could cause unruly Protégés to fight back. This can end in one of three ways: Your Protégé will run away, you will overpower them and be able to either forgive them or kill them. Stabbing your Protégé in the heart or decapitating them unjustly won’t improve group moral…just saying.

9/26/20 update: friends/coworkers becoming partners, the ability to turn people into vampires, and prison events! 

Due to the September survey, we picked the two most voted for options (friends becoming lovers partners and turning people into vampires), as well as prison events which were a long time coming. 

Friends & coworkers becoming lovers partners

So, you’re living your best life or undead existence and you think to yourself: My coworker is super cute. 

Well, you’re in luck because now you’re able to confess your feelings for them! 

We realize we had initially sold the idea as friends/coworkers becoming lovers. This is no longer the case. To make it a little easier on choicescript’s system, when you confess your feelings for your coworker or friend and they accept, you’ll have to leave any current partner(s) you have. All in or nah? (Though you will get to keep your lovers...ssshhhhhhh)

Then, if you decide on polyamory with your friend/coworker turned partner, that option is available to you once they are your official partner, just like usual.

If you successfully woo your new partner, but they have a previous partner/fiancé/spouse, they will leave them to be with you! 

We’ve also included an event for you. So, you may find yourself crushing on your coworker or friend accidentally. The heart wants what the heart wants. Of course, you can squash (or try to squash) those feelings should you be uninterested or you already have your eye on someone else. 

Turning people into vampires

Your endless afterlife needs a change, a fresh pace, some new energy. 

Good news! The Counsel has granted you permission to turn people into your Protégés! 

Sure, the turning process can result in the permanent death of the human and not the immortal kind, but isn’t that worth the risk? 

A Protégé will be Blood Bound to you forever, and ever, and ever. You get the idea. But, more on that next month. 

Right now, you can bite whomever you choose, feed them your own blood, and make them a Turned Vampire. Yes, even your mom, dad, your spouse, or your favorite sister. Basically anyone. Just be sure to note that your Soul won’t enjoy taking a human life in this manner. Even if that human resurrects. 

Not everyone wants to be a vampire. Vampire racism or no, your intended forever companion might not be into the idea. But who can really stop you? Some frail little human! Nonsense! With the cost of some extra Soul, you can force the change. 

Prison events

Ever wanted to gain the attention of that sexy guard without making the first move? Have you ever thought of solitary and become filled with dread? 

Well, now there are events for that. 12 to be exact. Might not sound like a lot but these events can pack a punch...sometimes literally. 

From love letters from guards, to offering your body as compensation to not get beaten up, to your prison spouse or your favorite guard jumping in to save you from harm, to offers of seduction, to getting groped in a random search, to being catcalled, or something else entirely. 

Many events can be randomly triggered. 

Tip: Having a better reputation with The Counsel can help avoid some unpleasantries in solitary or otherwise. Not being a Halfling helps too...you know...as vampires are historically racist.

8/17/20 update: prison guards, aging up, and pregnancy!

Let’s be honest. You’re here about the romanceable prison guards. Don’t be shy. 

Prison guards

Now guards aren’t just there to stop you from winning your gang fight. Prison guards now come with the option to:

Send a letter (sensual or a love letter)

Flirt with (with the potential to lead to a “private location”) 

Chat with (about your favorite shows, the weather, etc.) 

Start trouble...get into a fight with (curtesy of Zenesy’s fighting system) 

Want to flirt with your special guard without sexual scenarios? No worries. When the guard says they want to have a “private chat” with you, just pick the option for just literal chatting. Also, love letters are a nice way to encourage romance without the sex. 

However, if you’re feeling in the mood for something hot and heavy, sensual letters and successful flirting (without then choosing the chat option) can lead you there. (half sorry for the Mendez gif)

In other news...

Aging up

Now everyone ages up along with the player! Yes, even while you’re in and out of prison. You’re welcome. 

Pregnancy 

There is now a 9 month waiting period from the time you or your sexual partner conceive to when the baby is born. 

 We’ve added some really nice and immersive text to pregnancy. So every few months you should get some kind of text saying something different about how the pregnancy is going. Including mood swings, cravings, some relationship modifiers, and just general things to make you feel more connected to your little bundle of joy. 

These texts will show up for your lovers, partners, and spouses as well so that you can feel like you’re part of the process of their own pregnancies. 

Vampires and humans will have slightly different text notifications.

7/26/20 update: Prison relationships & the relationship system marriage add on guide! 

Prison:

There’s a lot to do in prison, as you’ve probably seen in our prison preview. With this update, interacting with prisoners is one of the best aspects and we wanted to share that with you. The prison you go to will depend on your sex of choice in character creation. Non-binary folks will get a choice of which prison to be sent to once they are convicted of murdering a human. 

Note: currently the only way to get sent to prison is to bite and kill a human, as one of the vampire kind. More on that in our crime system update on our Tumblr profile. 

We’ve created gangs, a Rank system, and the option to have a prison spouse. 

Gangs offer protection from other gangs and can be guarding your back when other threats arise in future updates. In order to be accepted into a gang, your Rank has to be high enough. 

In order to boost that Rank, you have to play nice with your favorite gang through flirting and chatting. You might get your teeth kicked in a few times, but patience is a virtue! Rank increases when you join a gang and have a prison spouse. 

Once you have a good enough relationship with one of the prisoners, try to ask them to be your prison spouse! Not everyone swings that way, so to speak, but try your luck anyway. A prison spouse is just another assurance for your peace of mind. 

Joining a gang and having a prison spouse also lowers Stress. Prison is a stressful place with a lot of injustice on an almost daily basis, as you will see in further updates. Having some backup is your best bet to help you cope. Note: later updates will allow sex with prisoners which will further decrease Stress and increase Rank.) 

Since this is technically a vampire update because our only crime to put you in prison is draining a human, your familiars finally get to come out and play! Or rather, come out and scrap on your behalf. 

Find yourself in fights with gang members and your familiar (if you have one) will come to your aid as best they can! Zenesy’s new fighting system allows you to fight automatically or move by move. Depending on the type of familiar you have compared to your opponent, you could end up winning! 

Rank will increase when you win fights too! But the guards usually break out the silver gas to stop the fights before anyone can win. You know...cuz they gotta do their jobs and stuff. 

Marriage: 

Pro tip: try not to ask your partner for their hand in marriage until you have a decent relationship score first.

Introducing your fiance to your family and friends can be scary. Especially if they’re “racist” against vampire kind or against humans. NPCs now have the randomized option of disliking your partner preference based on their species. 

But try to have a good time with the family and your friends when you take them and your fiance to dinner or a home cooked meal. If it all fails miserably, hey, at least maybe those racist family members won’t be at the wedding. That’s a good thing, right? 

Your wedding’s success is based on the quality of the things you purchase for it. There’s a lot of things to purchase! Sure, you could always just elope, but where’s that bridezilla energy? You can always charge everything to your credit card because there are no debt repercussions...yet. 

Want to dress feminine or masculine for your big day? There’s an option for that.  

Want to hoard your assets and not let your new spouse have any of it in a divorce? There’s an option for that with prenups! Or maybe your fiance will demand you sign a prenup of their own...

Why not have your fiance sign that little piece of paper that could save you from later turmoil? 

Divorce has been added!  Your spouse might take you for all you’re worth!

Control:

We’ve also added some more text for Control for our vampire kind players. Similar to hair growth, Control text will display over time. This offers some benefits and consequences to managing your Control.

Let your Control get too low and you might need to hibernate or go into a feeding frenzy. The Counsel might stop by to wake you... or maybe a delicious human snack will stir you from your dark slumber. Or just maybe Tolerance will suit you.

Prison preview! 

For the upcoming prison system, we are going to firstly release the interact with prisoners option. Because there is so much to these files, we want to release them in terms of priority. 

Interacting with other prisoners is a pretty important function for your stay in prison. For this particular update we are most likely going to give you the option of joining gangs and building relationships with gang members. This will come with the option to get into fights too, and you will be able to see an awesome fighting system that Zenesy made! 

We hope you like our new additions to the game. Keep giving us suggestions so we can continue to make desired content.
