lol, where to start with THIS post!
That is their roadmap, if they get bored of working on it and want to take a break I'm sure they will. Not one person here (apart from maybe you) would fault them. The re-texturing has already taken several years. Which is perfectly fine.
The biggest issue with your post is your claim that " The art style has changed at least four different times". Firstly, the art style shouldn't be changing AT ALL. Look at the 4K mod for this game; just photos slapped over and treated as textures, and it looks terrible. The art style in this mod has merely got MORE FAITHFUL to the original. That is not a bad thing, and it certainly isn't a weakness on the team's part. I think they've expertly kept the original game's aesthetic and art direction, but given it the graphic fidelity of games released in the present day. This is a fantastic project. Not sure I like the sound of a new temple nor can I imagine how they'd even go about that, but the rest of the project is fantastic. Personally instead of another temple I'd love for the firefly collecting minigames to be stripped out of the game.
