Amendment as of 12/30: Clearly Jeroen had more he wanted to do and ♥♥♥♥ has happened with the 5.0 leak.

Nothing is being "abandoned" people are just stupid and not including context or the rest of the news or anything else as it was talked about between the streams and on discord.

Basically the lead dev is finishing his own task (Space) before he moves on with his life outside of modding instead of taking another 2 years or more to solo rework the 2 other parts of the mod mostly from scratch.

The mod team has largely disbanded a year ago so there's only like 2 official people still on the team along with a few others who kinda help but do their own projects mostly outside of it.
So the coming space combat overhaul (Space Skirmish and Multiplayer) will be released as it's own separate mod page 4.0 will be reuploaded unto a new modpage so the complete mod remains for submods such as Clone Wars Holdouts and French Fried Taters for example as well as the upcoming Birth of a New Republic submod.

Most of the former full devs are still around and support those efforts. Myself for example left last year but still remain highly active supporting CWH while working on my own submod. Luke left a few months later and regularly helps with audio for CWH and BoaNR among other things. Kasderan left like a day before i did and has his own mod in the works and works with Republic at War. 1138 makes mod tools for the community which has been a massive boon.

Remake was a complete package in 2013 with 1.0 when it was mostly vanilla with better space battles and graphics when the name Remake actually made sense and was just a little side project from Old Republic At War just so Jeroen could use all the GCW era models he had made for the failed project that was YVaW. Everything since has been extra. Gaining me as full time GC map dev in 2017 and then booming into a larger team suddenly in 2019 to work on more areas such as AI, GC mechanics, reworking old models, audio that wasnt Mass Effect or Hans Zimmer music, and ground combat experiment here with 4.0
