It's still very early in development and with this game I hope to make a similar but better game than the first! A Kickstarter will likely happen at some point, which I'll keep you guys updated on once it launches.
This new game is a prequel, set thousands of years before the first game. You'll play as an ancestor to Greencap, still a lonely mushroom but now with a quest of uniting the divided mushroom world. Equipped with a whip the combat leans more heavily into a Castlevania style of gameplay. The fluid and fast movement of Lone Fungus will still be present but some aspects will be toned down, like the amount of button inputs will be way simplified.
The game will still feature optional & hard platforming challenges, but they will however be even more optional. They will not count towards 100% and existing as true extra content than players who are not into that can fully ignore. Swapping between spells/movement options will also not be a thing, in fact I've taken all feedback I've gotten towards the first game and everything I've learned from making the first game and with that I'm hoping of making a second game without those core flaws that existed in the first game.
The artstyle is simplified to make production faster, which gives me more time to make more interesting environments. Perhaps not everyone will be into the new artstyle but I think it looks better than the first game even though it's more low-res. Most fans of the first game seem to like it though.
If you got any questions, feel free to ask them. If you want to follow the second games development in detail, you can join our Discord, where I post updates on it as it's being worked on.

Is the first game going to get more updates?
Yes!
I can't say when though, I'm having a much needed break from the first game and I'm enjoying my time working on the sequel. I'd rather focus on where my passion lies. That said, updates will come to the first game. Some stuff possibly after the first game, I can very much see myself overhauling a bunch of stuff in the first game in some years. That said, it probably won't take years for me to go back and fix bugs and implement minor improvements. One stretch goal of the first game's Kickstarter was to implement a boss rush mode, this is something I've promised to do as well. I however am not sure when, I think working on a sequel is more exciting at the moment.
That's it for now, please do Wishlist the new game! Wishlists on Steam are super important for the games visibility. Thank you everyone and I hope this new game is exciting for the fans of the first!
