[The Luggage]

Lori en Corey Cole, de makers van de Quest for Glory reeks uit de jaren '90, houden een Kickstarter om een nieuwe game te maken.

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.

• Turn-based tactical combat with emphasis on stealth, deception, and traps
  
  
• Adventure game style puzzles with multiple solutions
  
  
• Tough decisions that affect branching storyline
  
  
• Deep interaction and relationships with NPCs and their hidden agendas
  
  
• Windows, Mac, and Linux support!
  
  

The game designers have very strong views on adventure game and RPG genre conventions and this game is supposed to tip all these sacred cows over.
