This is excellent. I am so happy to see progress on this new game.

While Quest for Glory was a spectacular game series, I am ready to start a new adventure. Shawn sounds like an interesting character, and I’m sure his classmates will hold just as much intrigue.

It’s refreshing to see that this can take place in the same world as QfG. I can’t wait to see what lies ahead – or maybe I should say, beneath.

What about a starving wet meep whom also stubbed its toe?

Just don’t dip a meep mop on a stick into a bucket of water. There’s nothing madder than a wet meep.

Lori, I’ve found that the best way to make a meep into a mop… a moop … is to tie a big juicy apple to one end of a long stiack and shove it at them. If you tie it down well enough, the meep will be so firmly attached that they won’t even notice that they’re making your floor sparkle. They tend to be mad when they do figure it out though, so I recommend a second stick.

Well, the Evil Meep ran off to Albion or some other distant land, to the relief of both Master von Urwald and the Famous Adventurer. Sad to say though, Evil Meep’s apprentice, Mastermind Meep, still haunts the halls of the school to make lives interesting for faculty and students.

On the other hand, Meeps make great dust mops as long as you avoid the teeth.

Yay, Richard. Believe me, there will be a lot to read in Hero-U. Maybe we can inspire a new generation to learn English the fun way.

Heh, Mike, we appreciate the offer. When we worked for Legend Entertainment, it was in our contract to have a lawyer joke in our manual. Professional courtesy, clearly

The Quest for Glory series is probably the best gaming experience I have ever had in my life. A combination of “right time, right message, right medium” led it to become a huge influence in my development and personality. By that I don’t mean that I pun frequently or have the irresistible urge to mindlessly repeat tasks in a futile attempt to improve my skill (although imagine how far I could have gone had I better mastered “Practice Violin”!).

But what I remember first and foremost about the games is that they helped to reinforce the beliefs of helping other people and standing up for what you believe. And, of course, they were FUN. Which is why they worked so well as an instrument for social change. (Bwahahahaha? Ahem…)

Although I still have a soft spot for Quest for Glory, I am very much looking forward to seeing Hero-U unfold in a new and exciting direction. I know that it will be crafted with all the thought and excellence that it is possible to inject into a game. I am slightly concerned about the presence of those dastardly meeps (who knows what will happen!?!?) but trust that all will work out for the best.

Very interesting. If you can be selfish, I want an ending where you take over the school!

I grew up with the first Hero’s Quest, it taught me the basics of english. I’m super excited to see what you come up with!
