On behalf of the entire New Horizons team, I can say we are all deeply saddened to hear that Infinities has been cancelled.

We certainly understand the difficulty of managing a mod team with high goals in the ever changing environment of Stellaris. 1.6 has been huge, 1.8 that is coming in 2 weeks will most certainly break most mods and the hints we have of the upcoming 1.9 and 2.0 look as though almost the entire game is going to be re-invented. That, however, is also what is so exciting about working on a PDX mod - the options we have today, compared to what we had a year ago, are endless. Every new version offers possibilities that even PDX themselves could not imagine. Thus, for example, a small feature that lets PDX gate access to one torpedo section allowed us to develop an entire new system of ship variants and specialization.

But, I, personally, can certainly understand and respect the decision here, considering the daunting challenge. Stellaris, after all, is not going to settle, knowing Paradox - they will continue to develop it constantly for years, possibly for quite a few months even after they release Stellaris 2, which may very well be only at 2020.

But yes... it is quite daunting for us, to adapt to every new patch, and New Horizons numbers almost seventy people. It is also, no doubt, difficult to work on the mod in a vacuum – the Infinities team made the very bold decision to release only a final product, while New Horizons chose to release an alpha version and iterate via community feedback. That can't be easy for any developer.

Our two teams had a long, involved history but I am happy and proud to say that both have decided to put our animosity aside. When Infinites have asked to join New Horizons we were ready to welcome them with open arms, and we still extend our hand in partnership to any member of Infinities, or the community, that wishes to join.

We wish Stellar Parallax all the best and we are certainly looking forward to working with them in the future, and to see what other amazing mods they may produce in the future.
