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!

      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 😉)

          @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.

            Thanks!

            If you want to get some more reach I’d recommend also posting this on Lemmy.world’s gaming community (tagging @gaming@lemmy.world, not sure if editing this to include it will actually post it there or not or if it needs to be a fresh post), there’s a very large amount of users there and they can’t see posts on this beehaw gaming community since we’re defederated from them due to moderation load
