Hero - Inteview @ FiringSquad

You may recall the announcement a few weeks ago of a new publisher named Gamecock, formed from ex Gathering of Developers staff.  One of their first projects is Hero from Firefly (Stronghold) and FiringSquad has the first interview.  It's a little early in the development for detailed answers but here's the opening question:

FiringSquad: First, how did the idea for Hero come about?

Simon Bradbury: We decided that there wasn’t a game out there like it, something that explored the possibility of what a real dungeon might be like! For example we wanted to know what the goblins did when they weren’t hanging around waiting to fight the player in some dank cold room. Do they go for a cup of tea? Maybe they play the hobgoblins in an underground soccer league? That kind of thing… We wanted to place the player in a fresh take on the dungeon crawl genre…
