So I took my old alttp fangame and molded it into something more original. Free demo available on Steam/Itch.

The game is called "Horn of Balance" and I build the underlying engine from the ground up across the past 18+ years. As a way to relax after school / work and to build fangames of course. A few years ago I decided to go a bit further and turned my work into something more original. So new art, music, sound effects, characters and story. With 12 new dungeons, 2 interconnected worlds and non-linear progression options.

If you're interested then the trailer, free (Steam/Itch) demo and more info can all be found over on Kickstarter (which is live with 10 days left to go):

Or just ask me whatever you want to know on here.

UPDATE: I've also been interviewing many other Zelda-like creators during the campaign, which you might also like to read about.

18 years?! That is simply awesome! Very good job on this! =) The engine could propably be tweaked a bit to make a Secret of Mana/Evermore game, right? Keep up the good work!

Thank you!
Switching to A Secret of Mana / Evermore engine would be quite the undertaking because of the multiple players. But yeah, there is a basis there as well.

Looks like the goal was met! It had me a bit nervous by the end, but I'm glad I was able to throw my few bucks at this game.
