Hun project gaat de laatste dagen in en ze kunnen nog een zetje gebruiken. Ik post het hier voor eventuele Quest for Glory fans die het nieuws nog niet mochten hebben opgevangen, of voor wie de oude games niet kent maar geïnteresseerd is in een mix van RPG, adventure en puzzelgame.

Like RPGs but bored of monster slaying and fetch quests? Wish games had more meaningful plots and memorable characters? Join novice thief Shawn O'Conner as he attends the hallowed halls of Hero University (think Hogwarts meets D&D) and navigates the trials of college life. Your choices determine whether he becomes a noble hero, a ruthless villain, or some mix in between. You decide if he will use force or finesse, persuasion or cunning to overcome obstacles and accomplish goals. But remember, all choices inevitably have consequences. And that's just the freshman semester of Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption.
What is Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption?
Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption is an upcoming fantasy RPG, currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter. It's set in a university for adventurers, where you play a thief who was caught and has been sentenced to reform school. If the bullies don't get you, the midterms will, or the extracurriculars in the catacombs below.
Who's making it?
Designers: Lori and Corey Cole, the creators of the classic Sierra Quest for Glory series, adventure/RPG hybrid.
Developers: Andrew Goulding, founder of Brawsome, developer of theJolly Rover and MacGuffin's Curse adventure games.
What is Quest for Glory?
Quest for Glory was a series of adventure-RPG hybrids in the Sierra line (King's Quest, Space Quest, Gabriel Knight etc) that combined RPG elements into the traditional point-and-click adventure genre, with storylines that borrow heavily from folklore and mythology, and a brand of humor that emphasized puns and wordplay.
The games were a lot of fun because they had puzzles with multiple solutions depending on your character class, descriptions and dialogue genuinely worth reading and laughing at, and character import - characters from the 1st game could bring their stats and skills all the way to the 5th game. They even had a secret class (Paladin) that was only available through import if you had played a certain way in the previous games. There were many, many ways to die in the games, and all of them were fun enough to try once before reloading. Some fans loved the series so much, they remade one of the games (which you can play for free!).
Hero-U is being planned as a similar five-part series, with each game focusing on a different class character.
Tell me more!
I can't do better than to point you to their site and some of the more informative articles about it:
