Heeeeere’s Tweaker with the low down…
I’m happy to announce we have taken on a new community project—Project: Sonic Retro! Formerly known as the Sonic 4 project, this is a new, collaborative Sonic game led by Phoebius, Qjimbo, and BJCharles intended to go back to Sonic’s roots in a very literal sense and create a brand new Sonic game, comparable to the original 16-bit games.
Some may know we have had a shaky history with this project in the past, but all these things are now resolved, and we’re hoping that as many people as possible try to contribute towards the project in whatever way they can. Pixel Artists, musicians, et al are welcome to submit any contributions they have per the relevant contribution guidelines for the project.
Being Sonic Retro, we felt it was appropriate to have a project of our own name that really tried to symbolize what we thought classic Sonic was about. Like Sonic 2 HD, we plan to take the future of Sonic into our own hands in whatever way possible. Sonic Retro—a Sonic Retro community project—will prove to be one of our most prestigious projects yet.

Maybe you guys will learn how to organize your shit properly this time.
Personally I’d rather have a bunch of short demos with individual finished levels on it than wait forever for something that will never get finished.
Just my uneducated opinion. Disregard that, I suck dongs.
