This is hardly a demo. It's barely even playable. There's no sound, no color and if it's supposed to highlight HTML5 (since that is in the title of the post), why does it require Chrome?
Spoiler alert: the end of the 15 seconds of the demo (if you can manage to get your walking sprite thing to it without getting stuck) is just asking for more money and redirects you to a website.
I'm a massive fan of the Space Quest series, and Sierra adventures in general, but this is just insulting and, in no way, makes me want to donate money to your cause.
"Hey it's Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy, the legendary (and charismatic, funny, brilliant and ever good looking) game designer duo!"
"You vaguely remember a post on Gamasutra about them getting filthy rich over some Kickstarter campaign."
...
"So why are you still standing here? Go make yourself useful!"
Really, why are you still standing here? Go back to the Kickstarter campaign and help get us to $200,000!
Aaaand... redirect to http://guysfromandromeda.com/finishing-audio-scott-mark-prototype/ http://guysfromandromeda.com/finishing-audio-scott-mark-prot... - which has terrible display issues in Chrome. Were you guys intentionally attempting to make it look like you were just trying to squeeze money out of people? That's all this felt like.
This demo doesn't "interact with the community" or invite any sort of interaction with the community. It doesn't mention it in any way, shape or form in the "demo" or the website you're redirected to; saying so after the fact doesn't help at all.
I was very excited about this. Color me very disappointed.
