- Sequel in the works! - 28 March 2025
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 hav…

- Multiplayer devlog #1 - 16 May 2024
The multiplayer update for The Forest of Conx is going nicely, we are basically done with all the content and are now working to make the multiplayer more stable, and preventing desyncs between players.

- Improvements Update - 10 December 2023
As I have written in the previous news post, I was not happy with the state I left the forest of conx in, especially compared to my other game Cones in Space. The main problems with the forest of conx were: -two difficult for new players to figure out what to do -too hard for new players -gameplay loop gets very repetitive I believe to have fixed this by making the tower placing mechanics more intuitive, adding an option to place towers manually rather than using the radar I have also added more to do in the game by adding building and man-to-man combat! Hopefully this will make the game feel less samey. The full changelog is: -fixed bug where dying in a blood moon will not revert the game back to the normal color scheme -fixed mercenary having incorrect description -added tooltips to make learning the game easier -added challenge totems -made days longer -using the computer no longer d…
