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!

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.

@KairuByte I´ll have to look into that. Thanks.

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!

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Kicked ya some cash :) close to the goal! Hope it gets there!

It has a Skull called Murrey?! Sign me up! 😃

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.

@Telorand You learn something new everyday. Hadn't heard about that one yet 😄
