Himalaya Studios, the team behind "King's Quest" remake is developing a class-based adventure game/RPG hybrid thing.
It sounds kind of cool, actually.
The recently-launched Kickstarter page for "Mage's Initiation" from Himalaya, who keeps plugging away at adventure games like they never went away, describes a title that in broadest strokes sounds like it would have been at home in Sierra's early catalog. But when it gets to the point where the developer starts talking about choosing your class and an "open field battle system," it sounds like they're messing with the formula in some interesting ways.
Players will be able to choose from one of four playable classes in the adventure, which has a pretty boilerplate storyline (a 16-year old must brave medieval menaces to become a magic boss, save the kingdom):
You assume the role of D'arc, a sixteen-year-old Initiate who must complete a trio of tasks set by his Mage Masters.
