The brand-new Kickstarter campaign for the Lone Fungus prequel has kicked off in the best way possible.
The last time we discussed Lone Fungus: Melody of Spores—originally titled simply as Lone Fungus 2 by its creator—we spoke of setbacks, fragile hopes, and dreams teetering on the brink of collapse. Yet, we also touched on the possibility of rebirth, a new direction that the solo developer, Basti, contemplated after the previous Kickstarter campaign fell short. For those unfamiliar with these events, we warmly invite you to revisit our previous coverage of Basti’s second project, which should help clarify the story so far.
In brief, following the warm reception of Lone Fungus, Sebastian Brkic—or Basti, as he’s known artistically—embarked on developing what he intended to be the sequel. Encouraged by the success his first project received on Kickstarter, he sought to replicate that success with a new crowdfunding campaign for the sequel, retracing the same steps he had taken with his first project. Unfortunately, this time, unlike its predecessor, the campaign failed to reach its funding goal.
This setback prompted Basti to reflect deeply, questioning whether this was indeed the right path and if this was the project worthy of his dedication, or if he should abandon it entirely. It was at this critical juncture that his community rallied around him, offering their support and understanding of the difficult moment he was facing, encouraging him to persist and believe in his vision. This collective support led to a pivotal decision: to launch a new crowdfunding campaign—a genuine revival intended to breathe fresh life into Lone Fungus: Melody of Spores.
Thus, thanks to his unwavering determination and the steadfast support of his community, Basti launched the new Kickstarter campaign for the latest installment of Lone Fungus just one day ago, on October 27th. This marks a significant milestone that could prove crucial for the future of the series, a goal that the developer is more resolute than ever to achieve.
Remarkably, even Basti could not have anticipated such a promising start to the campaign. Merely ten hours after its launch, the crowdfunding campaign has already achieved extraordinary success, drawing in over 400 backers and securing half of its funding goal of $23,463 (approximately €21,709). If this momentum continues, it may only be a matter of days—or even hours—before the campaign reaches its funding target.
The Kickstarter campaign for Lone Fungus: Melody of Spores will be live for another 29 days. If you’re intrigued by the project or wish to support Basti on his development journey, we invite you to visit the campaign page, select your preferred tier, and contribute to its success.

That’s all for now. Until next time!
