The game is one of many successfully kickstarter funded projects featuring legendary game creators following in the wake of Double Fine Adventure's (later retitled Broken Age) surprising success on the crowdfunding platform. Hero-U would take the highly unusual step of launching a second successful kickstarter when development was rebooted midway through the project
