Conehead Knight – a 2D action hack-n-slash platformer that's not just a game; it's a rollercoaster of emotions. Dive into cinematic moments and experience the highs and lows of the journey. Take on the role of Frank, the main character destined by fate to rescue innocent goblins from the unleashed demon Mazuh. It's more than just gameplay; it's an authentic adventure waiting for you to be a part of.
Hey folks! I'm Huzam, and I'm passionate about creating games. I've been hustling on Conehead Knight for the past year while juggling my regular gig. I set out to prove I could whip up an epic game all by myself and self-fund the whole shebang. The journey's been a wild ride, but Conehead Knight turned out to be a beast of a project.
Honestly, the idea of kicking off a crowdfunding campaign has me a bit jittery. But I figure it's high time to reach out for a helping hand. I'm turning to the awesome gamedev community to pitch in and make Conehead Knight a reality. Your support wouldn't just mean funding; it's about building a kickass community around this game. Let's make it happen together!
Taking cues from iconic sources like the God of War series, selected Animes, and Hollow Knight, this game is crafted to keep you on your toes. Inspired by the intense engagement and stamina-testing experiences of these titles, my goal is to immerse you in unexpected moments throughout the game.
As you progress through each level, prepare to dive into diverse atmospheres, each offering thrilling tasks that will keep you hooked and entertained.
To kick things off, the game is set to make its debut on the Play Store and Apple App Store. However, I'm facing a hiccup with my current computer while developing, and with your awesome support, I can snag the necessary hardware for testing. Your backing will help me iron out these tech bumps and make the game the best it can be!
Up to now, I've managed to craft six levels for my game while juggling my 9-5 job and even putting in work during the holidays. Your support can make a huge difference, allowing me to focus on my game full-time while still keeping up with my other responsibilities. Together, let's turn this passion project into something extraordinary!
Once we hit the minimum goal, I can finalize the core gameplay, introducing basic attack combos, a range of weapons, armor, and support characters. Plus, I'll get Leaderboards and all the essential features up and running, ready to roll out on iOS and Android devices. Your support will make these game-changing additions possible!
Achieving this goal will empower me to launch multiplayer missions and events, ensuring an ongoing and vibrant gaming experience. Your support is the key to keeping the excitement alive!
As the support grows, I'll have the opportunity to launch the game on Steam and Nintendo Switch—ideal platforms for platformer games that players are eagerly anticipating. Adapting my work for these platforms might take a bit longer than the initial tablet/mobile release, but with your backing, I'm confident we can make it happen!
Frank's got a powerhouse lineage, and he's no exception when it comes to strength. Armed with his natural talents, he'd effortlessly take down foes during his escapades, snagging all sorts of treasures. But here's the twist – his gold lust means he's not exactly Mr. Responsible when it comes to his kingdom, just like his forefathers. The king's had enough, kicked him out of his knighthood, but Frank's not breaking a sweat. He's more focused on guarding his loot. Things take a wild turn when the goblin brothers show up, spinning a scheme to frame him and score his exile. They sweet-talk him with the promise of his own goblin kingdom if he can knock out Mazuh. And that's where Frank's next big adventure kicks off!
Meet the menace behind the chaos. The poison for civilization and the tyrant of the innocents that is behind the subjugation of the goblins. Mazuh, the ambitious but tyrannical prince, had this crazy idea of conquering the world by taking down the existing kingdoms. Of course, his king wasn't having any of that. Despite a setback when a bunch of heroes gave him a beating and sealed him away centuries ago, Mazuh's back in action. Now, it's up to Frank to step in, take him down, and restore peace and tranquility to the goblin kingdom.

Why not go with Kickstarter or other crowdfunding platforms, you might wonder? The frustration kicked in when I discovered they don't cater to the payment gateways here in Sri Lanka. Trust is crucial, and unfortunately, I lack someone reliable to manage the funds from another country. Adding to the complexity, the tax implications from both countries and the processing fees felt quite unfair.
If you're interested in a direct conversation, drop me an email, and I'd be more than happy to share my contact number with you. Your support means the world to me, and I'm committed to making this process as transparent and accessible as possible. I thank you for considering being a part of this journey.
Currently, 25% of the core gameplay is in the bag, and I'm gearing up to polish specific scenes, ensuring that fluid experience we all crave in gameplay. I'm committed to giving my all to complete this project and surpass player expectations. However, as any creator knows, unexpected events can throw a curveball and slow things down. The game design is solid, and now it's all about implementation and improvement.
Your support, whether through feedback or donations, means the world to me, especially when navigating the challenges that inevitably pop up during this creative journey. This marks my second game release, and I'm constantly pushing myself to elevate the gaming experience with each project. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Your support is genuinely appreciated! Thank you for being part of this exciting journey!
