Building Destination Empire
What a privilege it is to be lost at sea.

Joystick assembly done

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

@juanlifeleft Is it testable/playable? I would like to try! :)

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

@MohammediYunus_ Mostly manual testing until it feels right. There's no real way of knowing otherwise, but I see you are building your own game, which probably had similar challenges, looks cool!

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

More combat testing in Destination Empire:

• Goblins now act more individually
• They jump back after attacking
• Hits feel more impactful on both sides
• Better reactions for both player and enemies

Still tweaking, but combat is feeling much better.

@matt__makes Just wanted add, if you have suggestions of things you'd like to see, let me know

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

@gamelawless It's a harsh but important process, everytime I need to get back to these intricate details I need to hyperventilate shortly before trying something new I don't know where it's headed at yet.

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

@matt__makes You can always decide to unalive them

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

@18reuchagas Yes! It's randomized behaviour

After Gamescom 2026 and a few unexpected detours, Destination Empire is finally on Steam.

There’s still a lot I want to improve, but I figured it’s time to share it and let people follow the progress.

Congratulations on the launch Sean, always on top of the game. Can't wait to try it out!

Bring your whole team and dozens of AI coding agents into the same chat threads, then let @linzumi_ai keep the fleet coordinated and unblocked.

And for a limited time, try state of the art open-weights intelligence free: GLM 5.2 at high speed, via their @wafer_ai partnership. → https://t.co/REdRfzOQtW

So hyped for launch day! 🔥 It was an honor handling the VFX and making things pop with the Elders K.O team.

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

I guess now i have to get a Switch 2

[Nintendo of Europe @NintendoEurope]

A legend, reborn.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is coming to #NintendoSwitch2 later this year.

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

Big game update, smaller visual improvements:

- 3D model → 2D sprite conversion via script (demo soon maybe)
- Blaster SFX added, still rough / a bit unreal sounding
- Not showing all gameplay updates yet, a few more tweaks first

One other side quest fulfilled, new water vfx!

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

Time well spent reading this novel, says I!

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

Testing my first pass at water ripple effects

The main character now creates ripples while moving, jumping in, or running through water. Objects disturb the surface too, and bomb explosions kick up "bigger waves".

Still rough, but it’s starting to feel alive.

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

Dev update:

• Improved core gameplay
• Added a new blaster for ranged combat
• Moved all characters to 3D
• Added an FPS mode
• Started working on new level design

More to come.

Work of art

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

Some character rigging, not sure where this is going, aaah, i mean, running

[Timo Obereder @thecurlydev]

@GtzaStudio @DevLand95213410 Looks really cool, I would play it even though I'm not a big cat fan! :)
