Yes, this seems embarassing. Especially compared to games like Ur-Quan
Masters(http://sc2.sourceforge.net). And I dont think this business model i viable. 40k$ is
fairly large amount of money for a "ransom" for such a game, and still to few to develop
decent one.

I agree - any specially funded game development like this must deliver a game that looks far
more professional and up to date.  It's fine if it's a smaller, simpler game than the enormous
new games for PS3 and Windows, but the visuals and gameplay must be up to scratch.  

There are a lot of open source games with far better visuals, some of them being high quality
3D rather than 1980s style 2D like this.
