Perun | Slavic City Builder

Perun is a Slavic mythology city builder inspired by Zeus, Pharaoh & Caesar.
Rebuilding the project from scratch in Unreal Engine, one update at a time 🛠️

[Perun | Slavic City Builder @PlayPerun]

Hey everyone! I'm a game developer raised on the Impression Games city-builders, and Perun is my 3D take on that formula with a Slavic mythology twist. I'm now rebuilding it from scratch in Unreal Engine and will share some updates here on the road to the Steam page.

It’s been a while since the last Perun update, so here’s a proper one: 40 minutes of gameplay with dev commentary.

~~ Hello, ladies. Look at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't collecting taxes like me. I'm on a horse. 🐴

[Perun | Slavic City Builder @PlayPerun]

@DeTomPlays Thanks, Tom! No Steam page yet, the project is still in very early stage, but I'll try to put it up as soon as possible.

@VeiledShadow343 @ArtMamoon Hey, what was most frustrating in Banished for you? I personally dislike the excessive micromanagement and the overall game difficulty, but maybe there's more thing to consider.

Looks like we're Frostpunk now. And yes, seasons are coming ❄️

@ItTuttos Great to see you gave the game a try! Yes, Perun is developed in English by default now and it's very likely that it will be available in Spanish as well.

Witness the ultimate Slavic experience: a full onion production timelapse!

[Perun | Slavic City Builder @PlayPerun]

Yep, I'm working on building placement animations. How did you figure it out? 😄

The Feature of the Week award goes to UPerunOscillatorComponent!

Appeal is one of my favorite systems because it keeps building placement rules flexible while still helping the city maintain a reasonable shape.

Apparently, Wuselfaktor is a thing, and one way to achieve that in Perun would be to send the lazy citizens to the market themselves.

Small preview of the procedural map generation setup.

Everything runs automatically, no manual placement, no hand-tweaking.

Really satisfying when the pipeline starts doing the work for you.

Last week was all about code refactoring and architectural work, but look at this happy little wild meat production chain! 🐗

First settlers are already moving in! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Gosh, implementing RVT-based road placement was quite tricky, but I'm glad the paths are now smoothly aligned with the landscape :)

[Perun | Slavic City Builder @PlayPerun]

@RadomRando Ah, I was afraid to hear that. Let's see how it goes!

Here's a little side-by-side comparison between the old Unity version and the current progress on map generation in Unreal.

Besides the general environment updates, the characters are getting a significant makeover too (no idea why I started with a half-naked sauna master).
