Neo First was sort of a community quest. It was open to a lot of people and I believe at one point they were asking people to do things like make sprites, tiles, etc. to help the project. Not sure where that left off but when development for 2.5 kinda slowed down and AGN had it's hacking problems then the project just seemed to stop. ShadowTiger was one of the developers of the quest if I remember correctly. Either that or he was helping to organize it.
