  Sequel in the works!

  Hello everyone! Firstly thanks for playing the forest of conx. Secondly, a sequel is in the works! This new game will be called: CONE X2 Why not "the forest of conx 2" ? well whenever you google that name a different game may show up which is stealing my advertising (previous sentence was infused with passive aggression) also nobody knows wtf a "conx" is so.. Cone x2 there you go. Anyway, this game will be a lot better than the first one, we have improved graphics, improved performance, improved literally everything. This time all the gameplay mechanics will be properly explained so nobody has no idea what to do, this game will have more characters and a better story line, and will have a level system along with sandbox elements of the first game. This game will also be 2d, and the reason why is so that its more strategic to that of something like plants vs zombies, honestly I think having a tower defence game being 3d just confused people more than anything, so the game is 2d now. If you would like to follow the development of this new game you can check: discord: https://discord.gg/fhNUTMRpvz Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Cone_Channel Blue sky: https://bsky.app/profile/aconeishone.bsky.social Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/aconeishone/ Please do check out what I have done of the game so far and see if it is something yall will be interested in! Btw this game will cost money.. Because I also need to eat. Before this game is done if you would like to support me you can check out my latest game: Cone flyers mercenaries! (This game is getting multiplayer soon!!) https://store.steampowered.com/app/3046120/Cone_Flyers_Mercenaries/ anyway thanks for reading, have fun!
