As we come together to celebrate the holiday season, we want to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a joyous time ahead. This time of year is all about connection, gratitude, and reflection—and we have so much to be thankful for.
A Journey Since April 2024
This past April, we took our first steps into building this platform with a dream and a commitment to creating something meaningful for our readers. Since then, the journey has been nothing short of incredible. We started out as a small review site focused on working through my personal backlog, but over time, I decided to expand our coverage while staying true to our mission.
Our goal has always been to curate thoughtful content and reviews, rather than trying to cover everything. This approach ensures a more focused and meaningful experience for our readers. This marks our 92nd post—a milestone we’re proud to celebrate with you. From our very first post to where we are today, it’s been a whirlwind of growth, learning, and shared experiences.
Key Milestones We’ve Reached Together
Expanded Content Offerings: We’ve broadened our focus to cover games often overlooked by mainstream outlets, while shifting less attention away from AAA game development. We’ve introduced new categories like Retrospectives and Game News, and we look forward to continuing to expand into new areas in the coming year.
Community Engagement: Though our comments section is still growing, we’ve been encouraged by the thoughtful input we’ve received through our Feedback Form and Reader Poll. These insights help us refine and enhance the experience while staying true to the core mission that inspired KonNetwork from the beginning.
Design Improvements: Based on your feedback, we’ve introduced several enhancements to make the site more user-friendly and visually appealing. Here are just a few updates:
- A complete overhaul of the site’s color scheme for improved readability
- Updated fonts, sizes, and overall design to enhance readability
- A revised review format for better flow and visualization
- Improved dropdowns for site navigation and enhanced functionality
Looking Ahead to 2025
While 2024 has been a foundational year, we’re just getting started! Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming in the new year:
Exciting New Features: Stay tuned for some innovative tools and resources designed to enrich your experience. One highlight we’re thrilled to announce is the launch of The Quarter, a quarterly post debuting in January 2025. This series will provide comprehensive information on release dates for all games within the quarter, with the first edition covering January to March 2025.
Enhanced Personalization: We’re working on making the platform smarter and more tailored to your preferences, ensuring an even more personalized experience.
Exclusive Content: In 2025, look forward to a rich mix of deep dives, retrospectives, interviews, and exclusive series designed with your interests in mind. We can’t wait to share these with you!
Gaming Anticipation: Looking beyond the platform itself, there’s so much in the gaming world to be excited about. 2025 promises to be a big year with some highly anticipated releases, including:
- The arrival of the Nintendo Switch successor
- Metroid Prime 4
- The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy from the Danganronpa team
- Mightreya from Wazen K, the creator of Assault Spy

We’re eager to dive into these titles, and we look forward to sharing our thoughts on them as they arrive.
