Original postOn March 4, 2022, I released my game and spent a whole month gathering 10 reviews so it could gain traction in Steam’s algorithms. Three years later, the game has nearly 1,600 reviews, 88% of which are positive.
Originally, this project was meant to be a great portfolio piece (aside from bringing a cool idea to life, of course) to help me land a job as a programmer or game designer in a studio. But thanks to you—and a few rejections from HR—everything took a 180-degree turn…
To celebrate the game’s anniversary, I want to share some cake from my loved ones and some archive materials from the game’s development.
THANK YOU ALL!

Original postDear players! I have been working on a new project with my team for over a year now, so it was decided to stop supporting PANELKI, including the release of updates. However, I regularly receive feedback with a variety of content, including both extremely positive feedback, which makes me incredibly happy, and requests to fix certain problems in order to enjoy the game with comfort - mostly about the impossibility to play on AMD graphics cards of some series.
Because of this, I decided to allocate some time for an update that I can call the last one (not counting hotfixes or minor changes), at least for now.
To fix the “AMD-gate”, I decided to update the game project to Unreal Engine 5 at once, at the same time getting improvements in graphics and performance (I hope), as well as adding those changes to the game that it has been waiting for a long time.
Full list of PANELKI 1.4.0 updates:
- Update to Unreal Engine 5
- AMD graphics cards shutdown fixed
- Graphics changes, including improved light and shadows, window glow and many others
- Animation of falling from a great height
- Restricted network play to two people (apologies, couldn't fix >2 people)
- Fixed roof clearing
- Improved character animations
- Improved cinematic mode
- Improved performance of low game settings
- Added varieties of lights in house windows and interior lamps in entrances
- Changed colors of fog and sky when changing time of day
- Improved display of fonts in the main menu
- Improved textures of houses and asphalt
- Fixed holes in high snow slides
- Fixed screen resolution change setting
- Improved user experience of single player game creation
- Fixed display of instructions in DLC delivery
.
Unfortunately, there is no support for old game saves in the new version. But you can always roll back to a previous version of the game via the “beta versions” section.
As always, you can leave bug reports in the appropriate thread in the “discussions” section of Steam Community.
You are also welcome to join the game's new Discord community, where you can discuss the update, find a friend to play together, or berate the developer: https://discord.gg/trrgWXYjkz
Telegram channel of the game: @panelkigameI'm grateful to every player who has played the game over these two and a half years, and to all those who choose to do so afterward. Thank you for this journey. ːSEMENː

Original postTired of the 30-degree heat outside? It's time to return to the cold city of PANELKI, because the biggest update has been released in the game!
The game has reached 2500 unique players, which means it's time for a new DLC, soundtrack, and lots of other changes!
Delivery DLC
The downloadable content «Delivery» is a new game mode where you will play as a food courier! You can purchase a DLC in Steam store.
Mode features:
- Look for shops in the city and pick up orders (the main thing is not to eat along the way).
- Deliver orders to the right addresses (the wind will direct you).
- Call the intercoms to get customers to let you into the house (and warm up).
- Earn a ticket to leave the endless city of panel houses (again?)
New soundtrack
Brand new generative soundtrack. Atmospheric ambient compositions for the infinite panel city, written specifically for the game by Victor Golumbevskii.
Благодаря технологии генеративной музыки, композиции переплетаются между собой, выводя уникальные мелодии. Новое звучание Панелек доступно во всех режимах.You also can purchase a soundtrack in Steam store, and soon you will hear the soundtrack in music streaming services.
New sounds
New sounds have been added to the game. Immerse yourself even more in the atmosphere of the northern city when you are sent in a known direction from the other end of the intercom!
- When calling the intercom
- When the doorbell rings
New achievements
Five new achievements:
- Intern
- Hard worker
- Employee of the month
- New job (Delivery DLC)
- Came to apologize (Delivery DLC)
And also updated icons for all of the old achievements.
Free game mode:
Now you can start a new game in free mode after completing main game. You have all the items, as well as the unlimited capacity of shovels and number of snowballs from start. In a word, sandbox.
In free mode, by going into cinematic mode, you can speed up time and weather to create beautiful shots.Other changes:
- New randomness of items in the basement. Now the drop rate of items depends on the items already present in the player.
- Increased the chance of a yellow shovel spawn.
- Now, in order to warm up in the entrance, you must first turn on the heating in the house.
- Improved flashlight light.
- The number of air conditioners on the facade of houses has been reduced.
- Improved optimization.
Bugfixes:
- The tooltip stuck when filling a shovel has been fixed.
- Reset the blur slider in the camera.
DLC and a soundtrack now available in Steam store, which you can buy both separately and as a bundle with the game - it will turn out to be more profitable (if you don't have the game yet).
If you find any bug, then please write about it in a special section in the game forum. Thank you!

Original postDear players!
I would like to present you the content plan for the Panelki game:
- Skyscraper mode - 1000 players
- DLC Delivery - 2500 players
- Online game - 8000 players
- Panelki Constructor - 15000 players
Since I am working on the game alone, I decided that I will release this content as the number of players grows, since the motivation to work on the game directly depends on this indicator.
So if you are waiting for these game modes and want to play them, then help me spread the game! Tell your friends who love this genre about it, write about it on the Internet, invite game bloggers to try Panelki, distribute screenshots of the game in thematic forums and social networks, and just write a short review on Steam. Hope for your understanding and support!
Here we are talking only about major modes for the game, while the rest of the updates (gameplay, bug fixes, adding objects and tasks) will be released as soon as they are ready. For example, an update adding new city objects and tasks will be released in a few days.
