From a first playable build to a deeper simulation.

App Empire is an in-development strategy and idle tycoon game about building a portfolio of digital products. Here are a few milestones from the work so far.

The first playable build

I brought the first playable build onto a real iPhone. That was the first playable milestone for App Empire.

Making the simulation work

Since that first build, I’ve been reworking the simulation and progression systems. I’ve also started incorporating feedback from other builders as the game continues to take shape.

What comes next

There is still work to do before a public launch. I’m continuing to iterate on the game and its systems; I don’t have a launch date to share yet.
