Hero-U - Kickstarter Update #2

RPGWatch · Thu, 25th Oct '12, 1:11am

The Coles' Kickstarter for Hero-U is currently at $115k/$400k with 26 days to go. There's a new update linking to news around the web but also responding to the question, "why didn't you just make a new Quest for Glory game?".

We tend to look at games, films, etc. with the unique perspective of being able to see the finished product. Will Hero-U be as much fun to play as Quest for Glory (pick your favorite number)? That's impossible to tell. Filmmakers all think they're making great films, but only in hindsight can we find out which ones were right about which of their films. Peter Jackson did an amazing job with Lord of the Rings, but I found his King Kong disappointing. Am I looking forward to his take on The Hobbit - knowing that he's changed a lot of things? You bet I am!

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.
