That is beautiful.  Good work!

They made their funding, and I am very excited about it.  It actually looks like it's going to be a great game.

They stumbled on a few points when presenting their campaign, but in the end they managed to raise the money they needed.  I think they had a much better pitch than some of their contemporaries.

I believe that part of the reason we saw so much success from DoubleFine and Jane Jensen was because there hadn't been Kickstarter campaigns run by any of the old-school sdventure developers before.  At that time, we couldn't have predicted that so many others would try.  By the time the Coles came around, people were expecting a lot more.  They also had less money to spend.

Anyways, I'm very eager to see how Hero-U turns out.  It really looks great, and I think it will feel a lot like the QfG series.  I actually believe it will become the successor to that series.

- The clock at the wall seems to be a bit huge. I mean, this is a morgue, not a train station or classroom. Time shouldn't be such an important issue here.
I actually disagree with this point, if only because I've heard Scully dictate the specific times of autopsies on the X-Files.  Maybe a huge clock isn't necessary, but accurate notations of the time are.

I love the background.  Looks great.  I would take some of the suggestions on lighting, they will certainly help.

It looks fantastic, and definitely has a certain style to it.  It reminds me a little of Disney movies.

I'd follow the above advice to get a more realistic looking image.  If, however, the perspective is a style choice, then I would focus more on the lighting issues (rays, shadows).

A few additional things:  You may want to darken the foreground rocks a bit more to add contrast.  Also, the wall to the right of the stairs seems to lack detail in comparison to the rest of the image.

Good work!
