Background[]
On Feb. 24, 2022, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.
Tens of Thousands of life perished since then.
In NEOLITHIA, I as the developer, firmly stand with Ukraine since Day 1 of this war even though I am living in Pro-Putin China, surrounded by Putin's Z-ombies. This is the right thing to do.
Here is the developer's diary on that horrible day: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1519140/view/3119310025773834317
Here is the post of a Ukraine friend of mine who warned us about the war even before it's start: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/jwiIL/ukraine-awareness-thread#FpNG2Eb
I believe, only a true indie game can have the privilege to achieve such firm support.
I don't care about the loss of the market of China and Russia.
I don't care if they say bad things about me.
I don't care if they block my account on the social media of China.
After all, I need no marketing. I need no income from the game to sustain myself.
This is NEOLITHIA. And this is something I believe in.
Although I was not able to join the International Army of Ukraine because I lack military experience, I asked. I am now engaging in a war of mine on the behalf of Ukraine people, on the behalf of the people all over the world that believe in freedom and liberty, in this cyberspace.
Winston Churchill once said, "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."

Another mini-game that can start from the weapon merchant of the Bazaar.

It has been a legendary story that Ukrainian farmers are using their tractors to tow away the invader's tanks in this war.
It brings humor and joy in such a dark time. |

I got this idea from here: |
| Sunflower |   |
Seeds can be purchased from random gardening vendors in the Commodity Market of Liu.
You can plant them anywhere. The sunflower can also be used to make potions that remove poison via alchemy. |
The flower of love and peace.
The flower of Ukraine. The flower can even remove the most horrible radiation and toxic. The flower that always faces the light when they are young. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/why-sunflowers-are-ukraines-national-flower-180979850/ |

On June 21, 2022, I got my Zhihu account suspended because of all the Ukraine-related news I post in China.
