When you compare this project to something like Mage's Initiation or the upcoming STASIS, it shows that having some of the game's development already completed and being able to provide things like finalized screens, in-game videos, or even a demo goes a long way.
From the beginning of Hero-U it was clear that while the Coles were quite passionate about this game, they really didn't even know what kind of game they were going to make. Or rather, they had revealed in discussions that the game they were making was a compromise of what they really wanted to do. It was a tough sell and even though they made it, having so many overwhelming opinions from the backers leading to multiple changes probably kept them from taking off for quite awhile. I recall Corey saying in an update some months ago that they had lost a programmer or two to other projects since Hero-U work was essentially stalled while they redesigned some things.
The Coles are good people who have made some mistakes but still remain genuine and sincere. So, I'm rooting for them.
