I just found this game and from the little i've read the creators of the game aren't going to finish it and 2 fans have started finishing/remaking it, there are nearly 35000 posts so hard to catch up. How much of this is right and what link do I need to download for the latest version, is it the Something Unlimited 2.4.1 version on the front page or xMendoza's SURebuilt version?
The Unity version of Something Unlimited is very much alive. There's usually 3-4 updates a year, and the next update is expected fairly soon. The latest update has been slightly delayed of course, which is par for the course with SR7, but yeah it's definitely not abandoned. The latest update was scheduled to release around 1 July, but as I noted, is expectedly delayed so it should drop in the next several weeks.
As for
xMendoza's Ren'Py remake, SU Rebuilt, that's very much a work in progress. He just released the latest version over the weekend.
There's also SU ReImagined, the proof of concept gameplay demo which I've been spearheading, with help from a number of other people. It's also very much a work in progress, and it's goal is to take the SU Storyline and gameplay in new directions, as well as incorporating existing content.
Both Rebuilt and ReImagined are 'for free' community projects, so nobody is getting paid AFAIK for said projects. These are very much UNOFFICIAL efforts, and being volunteer efforts are coming together slowly but surely.
One reason Rebuilt and ReImagined exist at all is because Something Unlimited (the official Unity version) is rather buggy and the gameplay can be tedious, and some of us want more streamlined gameplay as well as a way to add in new fan-made content, something that the current Unity version doesn't really lend itself to. But I digress...
There's more info about ReImagined and Rebuilt here:

Also, you should check out the SU Sprite Re-Mix/Fanart thread, there's a lot of cool fan made art in there!
https://f95zone.to/threads/something-unlimited-sprite-re-mix-and-fanart-thread.118041/
BTW, some of this fanart stuff already has or will eventually make it's way into ReImagined, once I finish coding the gameplay backbone stuff...
But yeah the Unity version of Something Unlimited is very much alive and is still being worked on, with a lot of content and about 3-4 updates released each year, so if the story interests you you should definitely play the 'official' version!
Hope this helps!
