Now it's official: The oldest fanmade adventure-project "Zak McKracken and the Alien Rockstars" or just "Zak2Project" has been cancelled. The project was started in 1996. For more information check out:

I'm not really surprised by that, considering their page hadn't updated for a long time. Still, I believe they were talented people, and I wonder if they're going to do something else?
QuoteIn our point of view there is no real place on this planet for a second Zak McKracken sequel and since the other team did such a great job, we decided to close our afforts for this project.
Too bad, I was waiting for this one too. In other hand...
Well Radiant, it seems they're already working on something else...and the project wasn't entirely in vain if we read the page you linked us to Zak Fan:
QuoteIn the future we will work on new main project 'Starkiller - the adventure (http://www.starkiller-adventure.info/)' which will reuse 80% of the existing ZMAR material.
Of course the site they link to does seem to be primarily in German... :D
QuoteIt was the oldest fanmade adventure-project (founded in 1996!) and got outdated by the relase of the superb Zak McKracken - Between Time and space.

I hope the real reason behind the cancelation was the usual lost motivation, being busy with real life and the project was simply no longer being worked on reasons rather than what is said on their website, else it's most certainly the lamest cop-out reason I ever heard for a project.
What next? "Fountain Of Youth cancelled because Lego Indy is just plain AWESOME, but don't worry, 80% of the FOY material will be used in Roger and the Fountain Of Youth"?

Sounds like a great excuse.. :D
I am not terribly bothered. I never really liked Zac Mackraken to be honest.
