If there are any SEGA IP lawyers in the room, please kindly push them out of a window before firing up this video. A tinkering duo of hobbyist game designers have decided to take the "crappy Sonic sequels" problem into their own hands. The result is Sonic XG (Extended Genesis), a sequel to the original 2D series that picks up the story from S3K. The game is scheduled to have 10 unique zones and 18 acts along with a secret zone after Chaos central, just like in the good old days.  The story was spotted on InsertCredit which also had a note about the community feedback about the questionable metal soundtrack:

This music is theoretically going to be the boss track ... but because of a massive outcry against having terrible, horrible music in the game, they're considering an option where you can toggle it to something more retro. I'm hopeful the label the options will read 'good' and 'terrible.'  

While the audio may be lackluster, they more than make it up with pixel-perfect graphics.  The screenshot gallery below shows concept work of the crisp stages and furry action with Knuckles and Tails. Here's to hoping it becomes more than a hopeful sigh on a blog and a worthy alternative should the recently announced Sonic RPG spinoff land as a dud.

[Thanks Satan]

I misread the title of this one as a "Polish" Sonic homebrew, and started imagining delicious homemade beer from Poland. Damn you, Niero!

If they hadn't plastered their names all over it they might be able to slip this one in under the radar.

Why is it that the people PAID to make Sonic games can't make something half as good as that minute and a half of video most of the time?

Lovely looking footage.

Wait, I'm confused. "crappy Sonic sequels"? You mean there was a good one once?

To me, Sonic has been made of annoying and fail ever since his first emergence.
