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!
@Splatterphace @HornofBalance naw it’s probably fine. “Zelda Online” got a cease and desist back in the day, but they were able to keep going after doing a paint over on all their sprites and tile sets and renaming the game to “Graal Online”. It was still very obviously a Link To The Past clone after the paint over, but they never got shut down for it. Horn of Balance’s art is much more divergent.
…which is why we’re suggesting altering the assets
They don’t need to if the assets are just similar instead of straight-up copies
