How AI is used

AI was used during development to assist with the translation. These are partially converted to audio using TTS. Otherwise, AI was no longer used.

About Empluna

Don't just build a city. Design it!

Empluna is a building game in which you don't just place buildings, but plan, construct and design them yourself. From individual rooms in industrial facilities to entire streets, you decide how your city works.

The focus is on creative, guided construction: without restricting your freedom – the economy, society and resources support your decisions. Instead of a harsh economic simulation, the focus is on designing urban structures and living spaces. The result is a city that reacts dynamically to your actions and grows with you.

Modern Era

You take charge of a new urban project in the 21st century – founded to rethink modernity and coexistence. Starting from scratch, with unclear goals but plenty of creative freedom.

Step by step, your city grows. New population groups move in, each with their own needs, desires and expectations.

Craftsmen, families, professionals, researchers, artists and tourists

Your decisions determine which areas flourish and where challenges arise.

From basic services such as schools and healthcare facilities to leisure activities such as sports facilities, race tracks and amusement parks. The result is a vibrant city that responds to your planning and is constantly evolving.

You shape streets, squares and neighbourhoods. You bring your city to life. You build the world you imagine.

Game Mechanics

A wide variety of game mechanics give you, as the leader of the city project, the opportunity to turn your visions into reality.

Building & Designing:

  • Building system: Design buildings manually! From houses to industrial facilities to public buildings. The building plans you create can be reused and placed later.
  • Terrain: The landscape is procedurally generated and can be designed and customised.
  • Road network: Connect your city with roads for cars and lorries, or transport goods or people via the rail network. Race tracks and mountain lifts are also possible.

Economy & Goods:

  • Various building types with individual characteristics and production possibilities.
  • Resource management through production, storage, import and export of goods.
  • A growing economy that responds to your planning and decisions.

Society & needs:

  • Different population groups with their own needs, desires and expectations.
  • Among other things, construction contracts, jobs and taxes influence quality of life.

If you want to design cities, build houses, plan roads and play in a relaxed manner,

then Empluna is just the thing for you!
