It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that I have decided to cancel Remako 2.0 and cease development of the mod entirely. I am pulling the plug on this project for various reasons, which I will detail in the blog post below.
For those wondering what will happen to everything I made for the Remako 2.0 patch, please see the blog post as well.

I can understand if you are disappointed with me for cancelling Remako. For me this however, this feels like a weight off my shoulders. It's giving me more peace of mind to do the things that do give me energy.
I don't think I will be making any mods anymore. This takes a lot of energy and they need to be maintained and I'm at a point in my life that I really can't find that energy/time (which is why Remako had to be cancelled)
I will however continue to make AI upscaling/sci-fi related videos on my YouTube channel. A video is a more self-contained thing, instead of a big project like a mod, with few if any expectations from the audience. While I do have plans for a regular schedule, if I feel like daily videos one week and no videos another week I can do that if I want to. That's the freedom I need from my creative outlet right now.
Thank you for everything. Making Remako and the accompanying moment going viral is not something I will ever forget.
Thanks for all the time you put into this, it was a great project and really fun to follow. I worked on a mod myself for another beloved RPG and I understand what you mean about the stress. I spent hundreds of hours just tweaking tiny things and booting the game to check if it worked, etc. It became like a compulsion for the few months I was doing it, so I certainly get what you mean about the stress. Hope you find more joy in your upcoming projects - all the best!
