Hi! I'm the solo dev behind the 2D zeldalike "Horn of Balance". A passion project, years in the making, in which the young golem Linden takes on massive challenging dungeons.

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 19 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!

@jodanlime Thank you!
It's getting closer and closer to actually getting fully funded now. Just 715 euros left to go so it's really exciting to follow.

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 😉)

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

@HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@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 😨

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

@HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

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

HornofBalance,
@HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@Daxtron2 We made it! Thank you for your support!

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

HornofBalance,
@HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@Nia_The_Cat And we made it. Thank you again for your support Nia!

@gibmiser
Fair enough if that's how you feel, but the assets are actually all different. Literally. It's just your mind playing tricks on you I'm afraid.

HornofBalance,
@HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@Godort
You cannot move and swing at the same time. The sword would be too powerful if I allowed that.

You CAN however move while shielding, using your flamethrower, and so forth. 😉

@HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@aeva That would explain why I got this one rude comment a while ago about my game being Graal. I assumed it was slang or something before 😅

HornofBalance,
@HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@RustyHeater Not currently, but maybe later. After console ports.

HornofBalance,
@HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@morphballganon Will do. I plan to give as much dungeons as possible their own walls, pots, doorways and so forth. (Actually have a few more biomes in the works, but it was too late to include any of it in the demo)

HornofBalance,
@HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@MichaelTen I build it from scratch, across many many years in the Zelda fangaming community. Using Gamemaker.

@HornofBalance@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@Psythik You should check the interviews on my Kickstarter. Specifically "Seed of Life" (and maybe "No more fathers") might be interesting for you. SoL is inspired by the early 3D Zelda's.

Just 7 more days till the "Horn of Balance" Kickstarter!
I'm so excited!

Currently working hard to polish up the assets explaining the world.
