You may remember some weeks ago that we reported the start of the second round Kickstarter campaign for the spiritual RPG successor to the Quest for Glory series - Hero U, well the campaign is as from this moment a Kickstarter success, raising $110,405 pledged of a $100,000 goal. It was pretty much touch and go in the final days as concerns raised it's head over another failed Kickstarter, but thankfully that was not the case and now we can look forward to playing Hero U in March 2016!

Hero U Rogue to Redemption - Retro inspired RPG final days of Kickstarter

You may remember a few weeks ago we reported the start of the second round kickstarter campaign for the spiritual successor to the Quest for Glory series - Hero U, well the campaign is entering its final week with 15% ($15K) of its $100K goal still to be raised. While this is not an insignificant amount of money, it's still pretty modest for proper gaming projects to have a reasonable budget for the sort of eye candy modern gamers demand, and the history of the Cole's QfG franchise demands exactly that sort of attention to detail that only masters of their craft can provide.

Hero U Rogue to Redemption - Retro inspired RPG looking for a second round Kickstarter

Legendary game series Quest For Glory creators are having a second stab at raising funds for their new adventure/RPG Hero U. An extended development time and a much higher bar for the scope of the game has meant that if the Coles are to release the best adventure they possibly can, and for it to be 100% crowd funded, they are going to need an extra push to get them to release by the end of the year.

Hero U - Turn-based PC RPG/ADVENTURE from the creators of the Quest for Glory series

Another Successful kickstarter already today and this time it's Hero U : Rogue to Redemption, from the creators of the Quest for glory series, one of my all time favorite Adventure game series. Unlike Quest for Glory which was an adventure game with some RPG elements, Hero U is a Turn Based PC RPG but still retaining that awesome Adventure flavor.  There will be a Classic adventure of game characters, story, and puzzles, with the exploration and deep skill development of an RPG. The story apparently will be so deep it will change based on the way you play in the game.
