Legend Studios — Company Website Specification v1.0

legendstudios.com · The studio behind the Legends Series

Separate from all game-specific documentation. Purpose: Company hub, publisher identity, and home base for all Legends Series titles.

Legend Studios is the publisher. Each game has its own domain and identity. The studio site ties them together as a portfolio and establishes the brand as a serious independent developer — not a solo project.

This matters for:

  • Press coverage (journalists want a company, not just a game)
  • AdSense trust signals (company sites get better approval rates)
  • Future game launches (each new title has an established publisher behind it)
  • Investor or partner conversations (if ever needed)
  • Hiring (if the team grows)

H1: Legend Studios

Tagline: We build sports ownership simulators for fans who think like a general manager.

Sections:

[Hero]
Legend Studios
We build sports ownership simulators.
Not sports games. Not fantasy leagues. Ownership simulations
where you build an organization across decades.

[Our Games]
Diamond Legend
Baseball franchise ownership. 25 seasons. One game per day.
[Play Now →] [playdiamondlegend.com]

Gridiron Legends
Football franchise ownership. In development.
[Learn More →]

[The Legends Series]
Every game in the Legends Series shares the same philosophy:
You are the owner. You hire everyone else.
You make the decisions that determine whether your franchise
builds a dynasty or disappears into irrelevance.

[The Philosophy]
Depth without complexity.
History that matters.
Organizations that feel alive.
Decisions that compound over decades.

About Legend Studios — /about

H1: About Legend Studios

Sections:

[Mission statement]
We build the games that let fans run the franchise.
Not manage the team. Not play the sport. Own the organization.

[Why we exist]
Sports sims have always let you play the game or coach the team.
Nobody built a game where you own the franchise — where your
decisions about scouting, payroll, coaching hires, and franchise
philosophy determine whether you build a dynasty or a disaster.
That's what Legend Studios builds.

[The Legends Engine]
Every game in our portfolio runs on the Legends Engine —
a shared foundation for franchise valuation, player development,
economic modeling, and the story events that make ownership feel real.
Each sport gets its own authentic mechanics. The ownership philosophy
never changes.

[The 25-Season Arc]
Every Legends game is designed for a 25-season ownership journey.
Not a quick season. Not a weekend game. A career.
Season 25 is graduation, not retirement. The game never ends.

[Independent development]
No investors. No publisher. No mandate to compromise the vision.
Diamond Legend is built by owners, for owners.

[Founded]
Legend Studios was founded in 2026 by Terry Pugh in West Virginia.
Diamond Legend launched in beta the same year.

                             "What ownership simulation means to us"
                             "The future of the Legends Engine"
                             "Building indie games without investors"

Launch posts:

  1. "Why We're Building a Legends Series"
  2. "What the Legends Engine Is and Why It Matters"
  3. "From Diamond Legend to Gridiron Legends — How the Legends Series Grows"

Domain Strategy

legendstudios.com           → Studio hub (this spec)
playdiamondlegend.com       → Diamond Legend game + public site
playgridironlegends.com     → Gridiron Legends (register now, build later)

Register legendstudios.com and playgridironlegends.com immediately even if the sites aren't built yet. Domains are cheap. Losing them is expensive.

Every game site links back to Legend Studios:

Footer on playdiamondlegend.com:
"Diamond Legend is a Legend Studios game · legendstudios.com"

Legend Studios links to every game site:

Games section → playdiamondlegend.com

This cross-linking builds domain authority for both sites and signals to Google that Legend Studios is a real publisher with multiple properties.

SEO for Legend Studios

Primary keyword: sports ownership simulator Secondary keywords: baseball franchise simulator, football ownership game, sports GM simulator

The Studio site should NOT compete with the game sites for the same keywords. The game sites own "Diamond Legend" and "baseball franchise simulator." The studio site owns "Legend Studios" and "sports ownership simulator developer."
