A new Kickstarter looks to raise $65,000 to develop Mage's Initiation, described as "A Classic Sierra-style Adventure/RPG." While skepticism of living up to that high standard is understandable, developer Himalaya Studios has reason to invoke Sierra's legacy, as they are the outfit behind freeware King's Quest and Quest for Glory remakes under the name AGD Interactive. Here's word on the game:

Sixteen-year-old D'arc has spent most of his life training in the elemental arts, in hopes of becoming a respected Mage of Iginor. Now he must prove himself by succeeding in three tasks around the perilous Iginor countryside. With the storytelling and puzzle solving of an adventure game and the customization and stat building of an RPG, Mage's Initiation is a unique hybrid that will be experienced differently by everyone who plays it.
