Panfu Year in Review 2024

The year 2024 is coming to an end, and it’s time to reflect on everything that happened on Panfu this year – from new features and statistics to our plans for 2025.

Statistics

• Registered Pandas: 17,107 (2023: 10,059)
• Active Pandas (at least one login): 18,297 (2023: 13,998)
• Issued bans: 345 (2023: 622)

Changes in 2024

• Ruffle integration: A Flash Player emulator was added, allowing Panfu to be played directly in browsers again – even on mobile devices. While there are still bugs and optimization needed, it’s a significant step forward.
• New website (Beta): The blog returned, and the design was modernized and optimized for mobile devices.
• Polish language: Polish was added as a new language, currently only for the Beta website. More languages might follow in the future, but the effort required is immense, so we need to carefully consider which ones are worth it.
• Bugfixes: Numerous issues were resolved to improve the gameplay experience.

Outlook for 2025

• The long-awaited update: We’ve been working on it for years and hope to finish it in 2025. This update will allow us to modify every aspect of Panfu. Existing quests can be improved, and new quests, achievements, and mini-games will be added. The update also includes significant improvements to Panfu’s code.
• Return of Oloko: We plan to make Oloko playable again. You will be able to log in using your Panfu account. However, it will remain a side project, as Panfu will continue to be our highest priority.
• Pokopet Race: Work continues on Pokopet abilities and the obstacles, which will be implemented on the server.
• More events and quests: Multiplayer quests like “Missing Ella” and the Giant Robot will return. After the update, new quests and regular events are planned.
• Advertising and social media: We aim to become active on TikTok and run advertisements to attract even more Pandas to Panfu.

Thanks to the Community

8 years ago, we started with Panfu, and it’s amazing that new Pandas are still joining every day – without any advertising. We’re incredibly thankful for your loyalty and activity. Without you, Panfu wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for an amazing 2024 – we look forward to experiencing 2025 with you!

Happy New Year filled with health, happiness, and fun!
