Horn of Balance - an indie 2D zelda-like
I’m developing ‘Horn of Balance’, a 2D zelda-like featuring 12 non-linear dungeons, 2 interconnected worlds and a TON of secrets.
Right now, the project is live on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hornofbalance/horn-of-balance) and we’ve almost hit the funding goal with just 24 hours left!
There’s also a free demo on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2738140/Horn_of_Balance/) and Itch.
I’m happy to answer any questions you might have!

GOG a year after release?
@Coasting0942
I cannot promise a GOG release just yet, but I will be applying for the required publishing deal. If that goes through then yes. It would be a simultaneous release. The game is already on Itch (= DRM free version) and that too will be available on day 1 if I can help it.
(I hate DRM just as much as the next guy 😉)
Dang, should have been a general DRM free question.
Sounds awesome!
.
@Nia_The_Cat Yes, you get to choose between the storefronts available. So that'll be Steam, Itch.io and hopefully a few more like GOG. GOG requires a deal with the site. I'll be applying but can't 100% guarantee it as an option just yet.
If you have any questions about Kickstarter just let me know. I'm hoping to raise enough funds in the next 20 hours, so I can finish this game. It's an all or nothing concept, so if we don't meet the goal then nobody actually has to pay anything.
.
@Nia_The_Cat Oh, thanks. I was already on lemmy as well, but not on that group yet.
.
@Nia_The_Cat Oops. Too late now 😨
Iirc you can technically release as DRM free on Steam. There are some out there you can literally drag and drop to a different PC and it’ll work just fine. Just in case you wanted to go that route since you hate DRM.
Looks neat! I hope this does really well, and you can make a DLC called “Kazoo of Soup,” because that would never happen via Nintendo.

Really like the art, any plans for ports to mobile? I think it could do really well there. I’ll kick some cash to the Kickstarter for sure, any plans to continue if you don’t reach the goal?
@Daxtron2 Not yet. But who knows what's possible if the game does well enough.
Kicked ya some cash :) close to the goal! Hope it gets there!
@Daxtron2 We made it! Thank you for your support!
Awesome!! Excited to see it come to life!
.
@Nia_The_Cat And we made it. Thank you again for your support Nia!
Congratulations!

@Faydaikin You'll have to be quick. Just 4 hours left till the end of the Kickstarter 😉
