Thanks for posting it! You're right, Evermore got abandoned a few days after I posted this, even before the dev was able to publish the rework for it. Not necessarily encouraging, but let's not get superstitious.
It's possible that I am too optimistic about reworks. The thing is, if I were the dev, I'd try to go for it at some point because I want my work to stand on its own, without it being accused of it being overly derivative. On the other hand, who are those people that make this a dealbreaker? Do I really want to cater to them? And yeah, there's always the risk of a rework making things worse. I dont know what the best choice is, this is a decision that only the dev can make. Fingers crossed.
