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!

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

Yearly1845,

Cool! I’m interested! I don’t play early access games as a rule though. You should make a post here on full release!

Steam Deck support?

@Yearly1845 haven't tested it myself, but some people have already played it on the device apparently

    @Telorand Thank you

    Daxtron2,

    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?

    HornofBalance,
    @HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @Daxtron2 Not yet. But who knows what's possible if the game does well enough.

    Daxtron2,

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

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

    KairuByte,

    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.

    Coasting0942,

    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 😉)

    @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 Oops. Too late now 😨

    Coasting0942,

    Dang, should have been a general DRM free question.

    Sounds awesome!
