Hi! I'm a Kickstarter advisor and helped build the site in ye olden days. These days, I'm working at Expert Labs on crowdsourcing tools for government. I also created Upcoming.org and blog at Waxy.org.

    I've never been so excited for a Kickstarter project. Gave $250. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

    Wow. To answer the technical questions, the scrolling was obvious, the scrollbar appeared at the bottom, I'm able to resize the window and scroll to the end, and the browser never crashed. It all makes sense. The only trouble I had was figuring out the second male at the beginning was different and a couple of transitions in the flashback scenes, but I mostly figured it out on second read. For a wordless comic, you did an astounding job at conveying the tone. The animations expressing sound and time passing, in particular, were very clever. And the Evolution of Man parallax animation was just stunning. (If you ever get around to fulfilling the Electric Sheep prints, I'd vote for using that as the image.) Really great work, can you post an update when it's public and we can link to it? And please, don't disappear into an 18-month-long black hole next time!

    Love the poster design SO much. Looks amazing! (A little bummed that the t-shirt design has that big border around it, would've looked even better without it.)

    OMG, awesome. The shirts are killer, and Rich's music is always transcendent. Can't wait to hear it.

    Couldn't be more excited about this project. I wrote a love song to Offworld after it ended -- http://bygonebureau.com/2009/12/16/best-new-blogs-of-2009/ -- and am thrilled to be able to back this project at the $300 level, the most I've ever given a Kickstarter project. As jaw-dropping as the rewards are, the biggest reward of all will be to have Brandon curating amazing material for all of us again. Go go go!
