"Legendary adventure game designers Lori and Corey Cole have officially launched the Kickstarter campaign for their new project, Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption. Best known for creating the beloved Quest for Glory series in the mid '90s, the Coles spoke to Mashable in September about their passion for rich, story-driven adventures, and how longtime fans had been urging them to get back into the biz.\n\u201CWe had been getting letters from fans saying, \u2018If you want to do a new game, say the word and I\u2019ll open up my checkbook and write you a $1,000 check right now,\u2019\u201D said Corey.\nRogue to Redemption will be the first installment in a five-part series.\n\n\nSEE ALSO: \u2018Quest for Glory\u2019 Creators to Kickstart New Adventure Game\n\n\u201CIn each game, you\u2019ll take on the role of a particular wannabe hero who\u2019s attending the university and is in there for different reasons. You have a real story line, and we can do a lot more detailed writing because we know who you are,\u201D Corey told Mashable. \u201COur first game is about a rogue, Shawn O\u2019Conner \u2014 a character who has a backstory that we know a lot about, but the player will gradually discover during the course of the game. He\u2019s kind of an unwilling first-year student at Hero U.\u201D\n\"It\u2019s like a miniseries on television,\" said Lori. \"You start out with the rogue character, but the next game will be the wizard character, and the life of the wizard character will interact with what happened in the events of the rogue story, too. I call it the Downton Abbey of gaming.\u201D\nThe Kickstarter goal is set at $400,000, which Corey said is the bare minimum they'd need to get the game off the ground. Early backers with a $20 pledge will get the game when it's released, but higher pledge levels will garner you exclusive artwork and additional copies of games by Australian indie developer Brawsome, whom the Coles have teamed up with on this project."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
