On 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!

PANELKI 1.4.0 MAJOR UPDATE
Dear 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: @panelkigame
I'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
