Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption February Update

In their previous update, the team behind Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption were looking for additional programmers to help with the game. Now that they have them, the game has upgraded to Unity 5.5, which promises better performance and stability, the new post-funding update informs.

Another bit of exciting news is that the Beta for the game is planned to start on April 30, 2017, with a full release following in June-July. A bit more on that:

Planned Beta and Release dates

The current plan calls for “Code Complete” – all features implemented and ready for outside Beta testing – in 2-3 months. Figure on April 30 for the start of Beta. We plan to distribute digital copies of the game through a download on BackerKit for backers, and through Steam, GoG, and Humble for new orders.

The Beta phase will also last 2-3 months, so we’re targeting late June to mid-July for game release. We are following the tradition of similar Kickstarter projects in releasing the digital version of the game first. After we’ve fixed most of the problems reported by players, we’ll manufacture the boxed games and send them out to the backers at higher contribution levels.

We might still slip, but it won’t be by much. Lori and I have strong financial and creative incentives to get the game out the door and into your hands.
