I would've said you are wrong back in March but its been way too long without any update so yeah it might as well be.
I personally always thought it's hard to "remake" stuff, because you create nothing, you redo everything that's already expected to be. Whereas creating new stuff leaves it new even to the creator himself, keeping up the enthusiasm. That's why i also dislike planning content, because it gets boring to just materialize what i already imagined many times in my head, and it just becomes a tedious execution. It's like a necessity - to manipulate your own subconscious mood.
Then again, people are different. Sure hope Golden Crow doesn't work the same way, and was just hardcore grinding that Influencing 2 into existence.
