Hero-U - Kickstarter launches, $70k so far

The Kickstarter for Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption, from the designers of Quest for Glory, has launched and rapidly put $70k on the board from a goal of $400k. A snip from the feature list:

Hero-U is a turn-based RPG with adventure game puzzles and immersive story, by the award-winning designers of Quest for Glory.

Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption is a classic 2D RPG by award-winning game designers Corey and Lori Cole (Quest for Glory, Castle of Dr. Brain, and more).  In our genre-bending style, Hero-U combines classic RPG skills and combat with the rich character relationships of Persona, and the story and puzzles of Quest for Glory in a single challenging game experience.

• A classic role-playing game with exploration, combat, and skills
• Tactical combat that is much more than "hack and slash"
• A rich story that changes based on the way you play
• Characters with unique personalities and their own agendas
• Adventure-style puzzles that are an integral part of the story
