About the lab
A business simulation about judgment.
Trade Empire is a Logan Pendragon Forge Alpha exploring the entire resale journey: discovery, uncertainty, negotiation, operations, and the human stories attached to objects.
What it prioritizes
Discovery, risk, meaningful profit calculations, item variety, long-term progression, memorable finds, and choices without guaranteed outcomes.
What it avoids
Energy gates, shallow idle mechanics, obvious values, guaranteed profit, and monetization that undermines the economy.
Current Alpha
The foundation includes persistent accounts, procedural sourcing, inspection, negotiation, acquisitions, restoration, listings, market-day sales, expenses, ledgers, checkpoints, progression data, and administration foundations. More systems will arrive in large verified waves.
