Clear answers.
No hidden catch.

For community listings, we examine available documentation, repositories, release information and reported issues. Each entry identifies its maintainer, reviewed version, sources, review date and compatibility limits. This helps surface installation risks and uncertainty before you download. It is a source review, not a blanket security audit of every file.

No. Being listed, marked Playable or given a confidence label does not certify a download as malware-free, bug-free or safe for every save. We do not claim complete code audits, binary analysis or runtime testing for every community integration. Check the exact release and its requirements, back up your saves and follow the original maintainer’s instructions.

Community integrations belong to their credited authors. Panludia indexes their work and links to their own releases, documentation and support channels. Panludia Integrations are developed and maintained by our team. Listing another project does not transfer its ownership or imply its author endorses Panludia.

Use the repository or support channel linked on the integration page. Include the affected version and a reproducible description, without passwords or save files containing private information.

No. Relevance combines observed downloads, Archipelago core and Panludia integrations, release recency and interest in game pages. It is not a safety or quality score.

Panludia is free and built to stay free. There are no subscriptions, paid features or financial incentives behind the project. We currently cover the infrastructure and development costs ourselves.

Panludia is sponsored by Solvegia, which provides the infrastructure and resources required to operate the platform and maintain its integrations.

Its founder is genuinely interested in how games can be transformed into new Archipelago experiences. Panludia also operates on an existing, robust infrastructure, which keeps the additional cost of running the project extremely low.

Panludia is an independent discovery and coordination hub for Archipelago integrations. It brings existing mods, credited maintainers, gameplay details, source reviews and installation links into one directory. We also develop our own integrations, but the hub is for the wider ecosystem, not only our projects or AI-assisted development.

Absolutely not. The launcher is an optional convenience layer for people who want guided installation, configuration, compatibility checks and updates.

Yes. Panludia integrations are designed for standalone use, with releases and guides on Forgejo. Community integrations use their own maintainers’ tools and instructions, linked from each listing. A directory entry does not mean the integration is supported by our launcher.

The launcher is still in private testing. Invitations keep managed rooms and pre-release builds limited to known testers while the service matures.

Public project pages, source code, manual releases and installation guides remain available without a Panludia account.

Panludia integrations publish source, version history and installation instructions on Panludia's Forgejo instance . Community entries link to their maintainers’ repositories. Check each repository’s license; public source availability does not mean every project has the same permissions.

In design

The community is defining the mechanics while Panludia investigates technical feasibility.

In development

The selected mechanics are actively being implemented.

Playable

At least one build is ready for real Archipelago sessions.

Preview release

An early build intended for testing and rapid iteration.

Stable release

A build considered suitable for normal play based on available testing and community feedback.

The directory expands as we review existing integrations and their available evidence. Our development projects are a separate effort, selected through the founders’ interests, player feedback and technical feasibility. Indexing a game does not commit Panludia to developing or maintaining its mod.

No. Accurate setup notes, reproducible bug reports and playtest feedback all help. Use the original project’s linked channels for community integrations. For Panludia projects, gameplay ideas and testing help us decide what to build and improve; our team handles technical implementation.

When the game allows it, yes. Exact capabilities depend on the game and its technical architecture, so every project page specifies its support for solo or multiplayer sessions and synchronous or asynchronous multiworlds.

Both names are tongue-in-cheek references to the project's earliest controversies.

The forbidden method™ refers to Panludia's extensive use of AI-assisted development, an approach some people considered unacceptable before examining the actual development and testing process.

The Unnecessary Launcher™ acknowledges that the launcher is technically unnecessary: every official integration can be installed manually. It simply makes installation, removal, configuration and compatibility management suspiciously convenient.
