Lylat Nights: the latest video of fan-made Star Fox sequel Shadows of Lylat
I would sincerely hate to see their alleged six years of development go down the drain, so I hope Sol Team -- the team of developers behind Shadows of Lylat, a full, story-driven fan-sequel to Star Fox created in FreeSpace's open-source engine -- pull the proper 11th hour switch and give us a game simply "inspired by Star Fox" rather than waking the sleeping IP lawyer giants.

I've never understood why these fan-projects don't just, you know, not release trailers and have websites. Just release the thing once it's done (or at least 99% done) and then the copylawyers can't stop it.

Heh, the reason that they release trailers and have websites is that it is the only thing they do. I'm sorry to be cynical, but the number of fan projects that have really had anything to show for themselves after years and years in development can be counted on one hand. Of course some have been nicked at the bud like the Chrono Trigger remakes, which showed some serious promise (a depressing amount of money had already been invested). But what you're looking at with fan projects is all the people that dream big but don't have the experience to know how hard it is, and are doing it in their spare time anyway. I wouldn't be saying this if I hadn't been part of several myself.
That said, apparently "The Nameless Mod" for Deus Ex is awesome.
