Hero-U - Update #2, Word of the Web

[RPGWatch]

The Hero-U Kickstarter has a new update, which basically lists the media attention, some feedback they received and this:

What Lori and I will promise is that we are putting the same work and dedication into Hero-U as we put into each of our other games. We still have the same "gamers sensibility" that we applied as a yardstick each time. Hopefully we'll be funny. Hopefully the dialogue will work as well as it did in Quest for Glory. Is it possible we'll get this one wrong? Sure it's possible - but I don't think it's the way to bet.

Of course, you can always "wait and see". But then the game might not happen at all. It's pretty much up to you, the players, to determine the fate of Hero-U. If you want higher production values, support at a higher level and get more of your friends to support the project. For now, we've designed a minimalist style that can be implemented within a reasonable budget. It's more important to make sure that we can complete the game than to promise a level of polish that we won't be able to fund.

It's all about the story... and the puzzles... and the characters... and the game mechanics... and the play balance. :-) Those are where we'll be spending our time. In the meantime, the only promise we can make is that we will work hard to create the best experience we can. Really, that's as much as anyone can promise.
