Hi, everyone. Welcome to a special Developer's Diary at the End of 2024!
Another year comes to an end in our more than 20 years of history.
So, first, here is an end-of-the-year video:

This game is unquestionably the longest-living RPG Maker Game in the world since its first release in July 2004. Even to this day, it's also likely one of the most frequently updated games on Steam.
According to SteamDB, we got 355 updates this year:
I see no end to the development schedule because this game is just so amazing as it is.
According to Steam, only very few really great games that can make me spend more time playing them than NEOLITHIA.
The world of NEOLITHIA will continue to expand to conquer new territories, acquire new assets, and develop new technologies that can hardly be rarely found elsewhere.
We stand for both history and eternity.
It's another colorful year. Other than the game, I also made some successful investments in the stock market and was part of a winning team in some world gaming competitions. (Something more memorable is that the organizers of the game tried to turn it into a Hunger Games, and we successfully overthrew the judges, leading to the last three teams all winning together. First time in its history. Because there are many people like me who are out there, working together to make seemingly impossible things possible. I have many allies to thank for. Well, maybe it will bring more hope to this warring world. Maybe people can believe the ending of Danganronpa can happen in real-life events. And we will be remembered in that game's history. And maybe we also stopped World War 3 for another year. Who knows.)
Well, since the world does not end this year. Our story will continue next year.
One more thing, here is the latest news from Ukraine:

It's also available in the game's folders, which you can also access from the title menu.
The story behind this is:
Shortly after the invasion started, the game acquired a mission to spread the news from Ukraine, especially to heavily censored nations. It's part of my promise to a Ukrainian who lives in Poland. I have a good reputation for keeping my promises. As you can see, this ancient game is still updated to this day. It is all because of a promise I made more than 20 years ago. And I intend to keep it that way. As such, you may find about 1000 entries in the game's folder with almost daily news from Ukraine. Each time the game updates, you can find at least one more entry. In 2025, it will still be like this for as long as it takes.
Anyway, Happy New Year.
