Peter Molyneux, the creator of Fable, via a Gala Games blog post announced the next game from him and developer 22cans will be the first ever Blockchain Business Sim called Legacy.

"Legacy is a creative entrepreneur’s dream come true, an opportunity for players to build their very own business, designing their very own products from a huge array of possibilities as they create a business empire the likes of which the world has never seen!" said Molyneux.

In Legacy players own Land NFT that allows them to start an in-game blockchain business association in the game. 

"Crucially, as a business association owner, you will have access to Legacy Keys," he said. "These items can be lent to other people who want to start an in-game business in Legacy, making them your in-game Business Partners. As part of your association, they will share a portion of their earned LegacyCoin with you."

The developer as part of Legacy also plans to launch a new Cryptocurrency called LegacyCoin. It is part of the Ethereum blockchain and complies with the ERC-20 token standard.

LegacyCoin can be used to acquire "Legacy Keys for lending, to trading within the game economy, acquiring exclusive game item NFTs and many more exciting and innovative utilities yet to be revealed."

Players can earn LegacyCoin through a variety of competitive Events.

22cans in 2012 released Curiosity: What's Inside the Cube? for iOS and Android and Godus in 2014 for PC, macOS, iOS, and Android.

Didn't he also try working on Space Base 9 and left that totally unfinished?.

Hmm I found a game called Space Base DF9 by doublefine, in steam early access and abandoned. It's in a lot of articles with Godus talking about early access games that are never finished and terrible developer practices so that's probably why it's linked to Molyneux in your mind.

Yeah, I thought he worked with them for a time, but I guess both just ended up doing the same sort of gig.

Once upon a time in a land far far away called England there lived a great developer but a monster called ego appeared and devoured him .
