Not gonna lie, never been a Sonic fan, but the fact the game has "ludicrously" list of courses and characters, makes it sound interesting.
I'm imagining every Sonic lore related character being playable.

I watched the trailer, and it looks really impressive for a fan game! I haven't looked into it, but I hear SRB2Kart has a huge community of modders and contributors.

Between Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path and Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers, it seems like Sega fans really know how to show their dedication

Doom Legacy?

Ain't that a old long-abandoned Doom source port from the 2000s that in fact was really an adaption of the Quake engine to run Doom?

Sure, maybe they want true 3D, but why not just base the mod on the vanilla Quake engine in that case?

Nah, the updates seem relatively consistent. The last update to the engine was December 2023. It seems to get one to two updates a year.
