I'll be honest, I didn't get it until I read the comments, But now I have to go back and make some stuff. It would be cool if there was more art and world\/experience building content in it before you get to the crowd sourced art part of it. I think you would get a flooding of content with some tweaks. The music made me a bit sleepy. Something more upbeat would be really cool.
