No marketing! Just thought I'd make a silly meme on how a lot of people approach Women of Xal. Is reading really that abrasive a concept these days?

A bit shy of 50% funded, and only 10 days left. Original game comes free, there's a demo for this sequel that's also free. But it's really, really frustrating fighting the algorithm. And getting this game to the right eyes. So I'm at a loss what to do. #SoTired www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Since I have new people here, just letting you all know that we do have a drawing coming up where the winner gets their character in the upcoming game, if funding for the Kickstarter succeeds! You just need to fill out the survey in the link below! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Stealing the idea in some form for Women of Xal.

I am paying very heavily for not spending my marketing months constantly virtue signaling about politics, isms, and AI ethics. Now I'm at the mercy of drawing in my target demographic organically. Relatedly, what are the grounds for screaming profusely?

How our Kickstarter is doing and why fans have been more active than ever!

Women of Xal II OC Raffle #2 Want to see your character/OC in Women of Xal II? (A visual novel that you can click the link to find out more about.) Well here's your second chance to get a modified version of our thousand dollar tier: Link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

You can now hear me as the English dub voice of a lead character, SHIRLEY, in the Chinese live action drama, "ONCE A GENERAL, NOW HER SHIELD" on StardustTV! Thanks to @veryberrystudios.bsky.social and @pheberryfab.bsky.social for the opportunity!

PLAY OUR FIRST GAME FREE. Test that media literacy! Because oh it will test and prod. Maybe back that campaign Dark Political drama with a cast of queer ladies! :'> kickstarter.com/projects/projecttrinity/women-of-xal-ii/ #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #IndieGameDev #VNdev #sapphic #Gaming

Oh wow, look at this gorgeous Kickstarter that CERTAINLY isn't mine. And most CERTAINLY doesn't have a link to the original game for FREE! I would HATE for it to make waves this Christmas and make queer fans and people of color happy to see such a thing exist. What a horrid fate THAT would be!

Creditless Title Screen for Women of Xal II's Demo. Have you played the demo yet? What were your thoughts? If not, you can play the demo or hey, even back the Kickstarter here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro... #Animation #2DAnimation #OriginalAnimation #DigitalArt #Kickstarter #VisualNovel

Romance option Nox! His main stat is emotional intelligence and on the fly thinking. His dump stat is... kindness. He's not cruel, but... vexing. Gives people and especially men a hard time if they're not clever enough for his liking. Back the Kickstarter so he can be a real boy! #Black #Kickstarter

What a wonderful surprise from #Kickstarter! Women of Xal II has received the #ProjectWeLove badge! Hope for a visually distinct dark #visualnovel is growing! Let's keep up the momentum! kickstarter.com/projects/pro... Thank you very much, Kickstarter for the recognition! <3 #Indie #Indiedev #Game

The Kickstarter has gorgeous ladies all through the demo (and the KS page itself). Share the gay yuri! (Ignore the uh, dark political mystery high fantasy violence stuff.) www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Women of Xal II's Kickstarter is FINALLY up and running! Please share with your #VisualNovel friends who like their dark political mysteries, character studies, and cast of queer ladies. First game is free during the campaign, of course. #Gaming #Kickstarter #Campaign #Yuri #Indie #Indiedev #Game

We have a streamer for Women of Xal II's demo at 8PM EST! \o/ You can give them a follow here~! (Or on their Youtube page.) @aspacecocoon.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cau...

Women of Xal II's Kickstarter is on December 14th! Follow us here for contest drawings, news, and giveaways like copies of the original game, soundtrack, and artbook! (Also, we're looking for streamers and reviewers) #Twitch #Gaming #Indie #Visualnovel #Indiegame

Horror is leaving this declaimer up, leaving ample context clues, and giving proper reintroductions, and knowing the futility. Women of Xal II. It has the "II" for a reason!

Women of Xal I is now available for free for those who are on our Discord server! discord.com/invite/vm5Aj...

See now we're just going to have fun. Who is the more threatening ex-soldier? Margret (Wearing all black to the left), or Liz? (Purple cape and accents)

Since it's been almost a year since I posted this, here's a revisit for the new followers! Here's the sort of nonsense you can expect from Women of Xal I. Free when the second's Kickstarter launches!

Never heard of this Charles Kirk, but with all the screaming for empathy for what sounds like a contentious man, I sure wish those same people were just as vocal about showing said compassion regarding minorities.

Anyone else having this problem on Tumblr? Or really, any social media? The Algorithm and suppression sure did keep me from being able to interact with hundreds if not thousands of my fans. Now it's 20 people tops. Which. Brutal. #Meme #Tumblr #Twitter #Facebook #Youtube

I am the composer of both Women of Xal games as well. And it's absurd how many tracks that are clearly superior to most of my original ones have been put in The Homeless Collection for the sequel. For the Kickstarter alone. Here, have a Xula Lumenhire. One of Xal's most savvy politicians.

I remember this. Someday when #WomenOfXal gets 10 million copies on Steam sold, we can commission fully animated cutscenes for the #VisualNovel. I love #2DAnimation and really wish I could have commissioned more for the sequel's #Kickstarter. #art #Animation Animation by @konakurou.bsky.social

Also, if we make our biggest stretch goal, guess what ABSURD thing we're going to do with the first and second game? (Women of Xal I and II) Hint: If you know your #Sega #Genesis lore, or classic #Sonic lore~ So definitely give this #Kickstarter a follow! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Yo, #Bluesky denizens! Thank you for making me feel more sane by actually engaging with my posts. I have thousands of fans on other sites, but it always feels like 5-10. As an #Indiedev for a #poc #VisualNovel, knowing there's an audience I can actually REACH? Overwhelming relief. Here's my thanks:

There is #Silksong discourse. Which was not on my bingo card for 2025! Apparently people are saying Silksong devs should be more considerate in how and when they release their game? And how to price it? Ridiculous! Be like my team: enjoy the rainstorm as it passes over. Have a giggle over delays!

This pre-launch is really struggling to find its momentum. 132 followers out of the ideal 500 to beat the #Kickstarter algorithm. It launches at the end of September. We're going to be so very active on here to gather more support for our visual novel. #Yuri #Art, #Poc, #gaming #illustrations ahoy!

Hey, people who love reading Indie fantasy! Follow me for more details when it's not the crack of night, but! On top of that one visual novel, I am also the creator of this Mystery Political Fantasy novel! And it needs... WAY more beta readers! #Writing #Writer #Illustration #Art #Original #Fiction

I feel like being a chaos gremlin; setting up a Twitch stream where BlueSky denizens have 100% control over the original "Women of Xal" visual novel. Yes like the Pokemon stream from ages past. However, I don't know how to set that up. Though I'd love to see all the horrible options players make!

Not that I'm trying to wish good upon the world, but if a vile man of momentous repute is dead or dying today, I will legitimately pay our artist to lewd one (1) Woman from Xal of fans' choosing. Not that I'm trying to wish good upon the world.

Our Kickstarter page will feature some quotes from fans. Feel free to pitch your own quotes for either Women of Xal I, or the Women of Xal II demo! If you want access to Women of Xal II's demo, you can contact me to beta it IF you unlocked The True Ending or can deal with lacking context!

Our lovely witch Yumna has taken over my Bluesky account for the time being! She'll be the one updating everyone on the Kickstarter's news! She gets paid proportionately to how many followers the Pre-launch page gets! Please feed her. #Digitalart #Gaming #Indie www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

I noticed job board websites are not exactly providing the filter option "Companies That Actually Hire" or "Certified Scam Free". Certainly a choice. (I'm trying to get hired for administrative duties at home. Yes, I can write and make music, but the former is too queer for 99.9% of clients.)

Commission artists to defeat the mindset that #AI makes ends meet. Play hidden gems to send the message that "going woke" =\= broke. Research. Use critical thinking instead of asking Grok. Follow my game so it can be one of the largest visual novels ever? :'3 www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Next two times I was thinking of three major ideas: Don't force people to click the Notify button on Kickstarter. It's scary. Give people more chances to have their names in the spinning wheel multiple times (or a bigger slice). Offering the $5000 Kickstarter reward (Details below)

The winner of the Women of Xal OC Giveaway, as decreed by the cute spinny wheel, is trilies! DM imminent. You will receive: An in-game visual novel "Sprite" of your character A special illustration in the style of WoXII's KS CGs A sketch of your character the two artists

Spinning the OC Giveaway Wheel For the Winner~

#VisualNovel Women of Xal II is launching a #Kickstarter late September. We'll want as many followers and backers as possible, as a stretch goal does include bringing back #romance options from the original game. Yes all 12 of them. Give us a follow if you love super intricate VNs! #Indiedev #Game

Sometimes you just have to sigh when people are still doing their version of "where are the diverse characters and stories?" And move along with life.

The #visualnovel "Women of Xal II" still needs followers for its #Kickstarter pre-launch! If we get to 500, the site's algorithm will have to put respect on #BlackMagic. First game will be free during the campaign! #Indiedev #Gaming #Blacksky #Poc #Indiegame www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

A thread on the "Women of Xal" series, and why I think it's neat. With pics! 1) It's a visual novel, yes. And the talent behind it is aggressively disproportionate to its budget and format. Big voice actors, insanely talented artists, animation, and HUNDREDS of illustrations?! #Gaming #VideoGames

Bluesky not suppressing Black creatives when they want to show their upcoming projects is still a new concept to me. Like an animal cautiously looking around, kinda lost once out of a cage and in the proper open. So uh, hi! WE HAVE COOL CHARACTERS #BlackSky #IndieGaming #IndieDev #DevSky #Poc

I'll spin a cute little wheel with everyone's name for the OC giveaway. Winner will be able to fill out a cure little form and provide their cute references! The actual art will likely be finished either before the Kickstarter or two months after the Kickstarter ends. #WomenOfXal

I saw the Bluesky post saying there's no oppression system on links and tags and I spiritually collapsed in relief. I have a Kickstarter coming up that is ABSOLUTELY at risk of being absolutely ignored because of how other sites do things. I might just hard focus on Bluesky for Women of Xal hype!

4 HOURS LEFT #OC #GIVEAWAY You like the #art of the Women of Xal #game and would like your OC in its style? GIVEAWAY! No purchase necessary! CLICK "Notify Me On Launch" on our #Kickstarter Page! Follow this page! REPOST A screenshot saying you have followed WoXII's page! tinyurl.com/3ma5tha8

Running out of methods to bring as many people to watch that "Women of Xal II" Kickstarter page as possible: Gorgeous Art and announcement for sequel Contest Marketing Character-Sanctioned NSFW Art exclusively for Kickstarter luring Don't make me go to Idea 4. ಠ_ಠ #Art #Illustration #Gaming

LAST CHANCE TO BE PUT IN THE RUNNING. ZERO REASON TO SAY NO TO FREE ART OF YOUR OC!

Crying and begging for y'all to stop misusing the word pretentious. It's one of the wildest words to misuse.
