Yeah, I hope they make it next time. More details in the pitch would be good; heck, at first it didn't even have a name...
On the kickstarter note though, this one started now: Corey and Lori Cole's Hero U: Rogue to Redemption.

It's an RPG From the designers of the great Quest for Glory series. Now the QFG games are of course among my favorites; QFG1 and 4 are tied for being my favorite ever Sierra games. This game isn't really Quest for Glory, though -- the dungeons are much more topdown-RPG stuff, vaguely roguelike except with predesigned dungeons. It'll also have a story side in the school, but yeah, it's not QFG. I just hope that they can do a good job with this -- they say that they've always wanted to make a more traditional RPG, but haven't before -- even QFGV, with its hack and slash combat, had a lot of the puzzle and adventure stuff too.
This interview's great, explains a lot about what they want this game to be, and why they're making it. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/10/...ing-rogue/ Overall though, we'll see. I'll certainly donate at some level, but the $75 for an actual box? Not so sure. If it was a QFG-style game I probably would, but with something so different, I'm not entirely sure... and also, you're a rogue only in this game. The thief was my least favorite class in the QFG series... I'm more interested in the sequels they mention where you play as the other classes, I think. But I certainly will get this at some level. Hopefully it's good.
