Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption Post-funding Update #35

The latest post-funding update to the Hero-U Kickstarter is out, and while it’s mostly made of random tidbits and name-dropping of other arguably worthy Kickstarter campaigns, it also includes a few details on the game, which I’ll focus on:

Our art team continues to up their game each week. We’re starting to see some amazingly-detailed tiles for the Catacombs and lots of terrifying monsters. Hero-U is going to look great! Ryan Grogan is also working hard at providing excellent new musical themes for the game. In honor of Valentine’s Day, a link to Ryan’s “Shawn in Love” (work in progress) theme follows this update.

Lori came up with a new solution to the “Is it an adventure game, or is it an RPG?” question. Instead of having a difficulty slider (or possibly in addition), we will have a game style slider. You will be able to select “Puzzles only, no combats”, “Traditional RPG with random encounters and emphasis on combat”, or “Mixed adventure and RPG”. We may add a few settings such as “RPG Challenge Mode”.
