Neverland

Neverland Company Inc. (株式会社ネバーランドカンパニー) was established April 14, 1993 and based in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo (later Minami-ku, Tokyo). The company was headed by Makoto Takada (高田誠) and much of the initial staff came from Wolf Team. The company declared bankruptcy on January 22, 2014.

Neverland's final project, Kinki no Magna (Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven) for the 3DS, was about 50% complete when the company closed down. The project was taken over by Marvelous, who hired on some of the former Neverland staff in order to complete the game, which saw release in October 2014.

Some sources credit Neverland for development of various Idea Factory titles, but the two companies never worked together as far as we know. The "Neverland" logo on the packaging of some Idea Factory titles refers to the shared fictional world of these games, and is unreleated to this developer.
