Farewell...

I wanted to say goodbye to you, as I have decided to significantly reduce my online participation. I write this with a heavy heart, as the community continues to grow, new mods are created and it is still full of passionate people. I never would have thought that my “testing the newly released Baldur's Gate remaster” would end up over ~10 years of adventure. I'll never forget the atmosphere surrounding the release of the next improved IE games, testing beta versions together, seeing new players experience the same great excitement as I did over 25 years ago. Back then, when I went unnoticed under a certain bridge, got lost in a grove with very realistic fossil statues, took a trip to an insane asylum where a kind gentleman showed me around, walked around a big tree and the surroundings turned red, or finally reached a sauna with four green pools. It was amazing and will always remain in my memory.

Modding tempts. There will always be one more bug to fix, one more thing to improve, one more idea to introduce. If this is accompanied by excitement and a gleam in the eyes at the prospect of what something will look like in the future, one will always conjure up a little strength and time to do it. If not - well, then you should probably let it go. Who knows, maybe after all these years I will finally be able to play all these games

I'm one of those types of people who don't like to leave things unfolded and unfinished. Therefore, seeing SHS's problems with the missing owner of SHS Org, all the mods in my care were transferred to the organizations that are closest to their original origin. All tools have been donated to the InfinityTools organization, which, in my opinion, should become the center of all useful things, no matter how small. I also provided the code for a small application called EETLauncher. As for all my shared work, follow the principle that you can improve and personalize anything without asking for permission, as long as you are guided by the good of the community. I don't think I left anything out, but if something comes to mind, this is the best time to mention it.

Although I'm leaving, I'm happy with everything I've accomplished. My only regret is that I was not given the opportunity to try the biggest challenge. That I leave to the young and brave enough.

But the work is done. It always will be. It was inevitable.
