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?

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 😉)

This looks really interesting, will definitely be an instant buy from me, drm-free release is the extra cherry on top too.

Always love coming across cool stuff like this.

On the kickstarter, on the tiers that say you get a copy of the game, does that come via steam or do we get to choose the store that it comes from? Never used kickstarter before

@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 😨

Dang, should have been a general DRM free question.

Sounds awesome!
