This just may be me, but I'd love to see this Emerald Hill ported to Sonic Generations. Or hell, even the assets being released, but that just might me being selfish.
I pretty much said this before to someone else IIRC, he did some really great assets, and could surely create way more. Maybe he just didn't want to have to code all the amount of gimmicks and all that was needed(physics-wise and such), enemy behaviour, including porting to yet another engine. Perhaps he would be just happy with making a level in Gens instead, since all the playability is already there. It sure was brilliant for its time though, especially after seeing that Mushroom Hill 3D video. Was like a dream coming true at last.
Split off the 90s Arcade Racer posts into a thread over here: http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=30683
This project isn't continuing? Shitty! It was the best damn 3D interpretation of Sonic to date! What the flipping flip!
Well, I don't know whether this has changed, but when it went on ‘hiatus', pelikan made references to eventually resuming at some point in the future, at least possibly; it was certainly left open.
Here we are. But with his 90s/90's/'90s/ffs Racer in full swing now, that's unlikely to be for a very long time.

It seems like pelikan13 isn't involved with that actually. Someone who made the the models for the Chemical Plant level is the one asking for help with it: http://www.gamedev.net/classifieds/item/1768-looking-for-c-unity-programmer/ He also doesn't seem to be using the engine pelikan13 made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfZ4ddrNc0g
So none of the original creators are working on this game. :/ I hope he asked pelikan13 permission before continuing the project without him.
Why doesn't pelikan13 just give him the engine and assets? I mean after all, hes not really using it.
Considering he used a engine Mercury created and then the Egg Engine which Damizean created I doubt he's using their engines for a racing game. As for the assets he may very well be using them for his racing game as many of them were original. In other words what Overlord said only the exact opposite. The engines will be released once they are ready in some form but probably not the assets.
