Hey, Oded Sharon (from Bolt Riley) here.
First, thank you for those who backed and those who are planning to back this project.
We worked with the Coles on this in 2011. This was before we ran out of fund, and before we work with Replay on Larry. The Coles were involved in the design of all the game (including chapter 1) were part of writing the entire story.
It's expensive to make games. If chapter one succeed or if we reach the stretch goal we will make chapter 2. Without your help , this will not happen.
regarding the whole replay games - well, I'm already under threat of lawsuit by Replay so i can't post anything that will be considered damage or libel.
What i can share are some facts:
1. Despite what someone else said we had a team working on Larry and Riley. here it is:

Who recognizes those backgrounds on our walls there?
2. Both adventure mob and replay games have done due diligence on each other late 2011. This was months before we went to kickstrater with them. So coming out of the woods with saying something like "we've done our due diligence"?
well, we already had most of chapter 1 for Bolt Riley developeed by then, a team of 20 people.
We actually found disturbing things which we choose to ignore. In retrospect maybe we shouldn't.
3. you can see that we were the ones doing the work on the larry demo here:
i can show you the code i wrote in unity. Myself.

We never got paid a dime for our work and spent tons on money on it.
I assure you two things - the existence of this game does not only not interfere with Hero-u , in fact, as Corey mentoined it, was the catalyst for Hero-u as they got paid to work on this game years before they even conceived it.
We are making an awesome game. I've made some adventure games in the past with low budget and this game, being one with a higher budget will be great. (and the parts that are ready already are).
feel free to ask me any questions.
and thanks again for your support, we hope to make this game a reality.
Peace,
Oded
