The two artists were put on "Make the vital spoiler assets for WoXII" before I realized that I needed to have visual content so ya'll know that we're working on the game. Y'know, promotional images, teasers! Screenshots that aren't tremendous lore and gameplay spoilers! Here's a tease. Stay tuned~

Never in my life have I made a video that didn't involve throwing a drawer full of silverware down the stairs to promote my work. That ends today. Please write in Guitar Concerto in C Flat Major, Op. 12: Lucina for Best Novella at the Locus Awards. poll.voting.locusmag.com

Last post needed tags. So, a little louder: 3D modelers and animators! (Yes even you, NSFW lovelies!) WHERE YA'LL AT?! I just want to talk~ #3D #3DCommission #3DArtist #Blender #BlenderArtist #Blender3D #DigitalArt I love 2D art! But we already have 3 artists for our games and don't need more!

3D modelers and animators! (Yes even you, NSFW lovelies!) Where ya'll at?! I just want to talk~ But no seriously, I really do want to make big moves after this Kickstarter project finishes, so I want to network with ya'll. Get to know ya'll and ya'll's rates. Maybe talk potential business! Get me?

As a money-hoarding dev where every penny counts to creating a stellar project, I refuse to allow animators to offer free animated test samples. And I would be wary of devs that don't discourage you from spec work.

🎨 Share your OC boundaries! 🖌️Fanart? TAG ME <3 💞Shipping? Just explain your reasoning! 🖋️Fanfiction? Seeing other writers tackle my characters is ALWAYS a joy. ♊️Draw their OCs with yours? Have fun! 🔞NSFW? NSFW is important. Payment Processing companies can get bent. 🤖AI? I rather see talent.

This aged like a golden goose.

Well, well! Congratulations @studioreignbow.bsky.social on a successful "In My Orbit" Kickstarter campaign. Looks like both teams will be able to make our visual novels. Looking forward to seeing the end products.

We're extending the opportunity to be part of the raffle since so many of you came in very late. Like, last 48 hours of the campaign, late! Want to see your character/OC in Women of Xal II? Fill out our survey before February 2026~! #VN #Indiedev #visualnovel #gaming docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The Women of Xal Replay series continues from @kamithesheeb.bsky.social! www.twitch.tv/the_sheeb

Kickstarter's funds have been dropped into our account. We'll update ya'll when we get some headway into our shiny new kitchen. Women of Xal II's production now begins!

You can now wishlist Women of Xal II! I'm still burnt out on Kickstarter marketing, so I'll revisit this when we get WAY closer to marketing launch and we need like 5k wishlists. Lol store.steampowered.com/app/4345290/...

Recall in WoXI when you had to figure out how to unlock The True Ending and I let more than half of you suffer with only The Warning Ending as your takeaway? Well Women of Xal II will have easier choices that don't require you to have keen understanding of your choices and timelines! ^ -^ ^ -^ ^ -^

So many were interested in voicing for Women of Xal II! Which is awesome and reassuring to behold. That said, our already finished Kickstarter would need to go viral and raise the additional $25k via late pledges to reach that stretch goal. So I guess weather excitement or find your rich aunt. Lol

Not that I'm salty about how the visual novel space has treated our team and the "Women of Xal" series or anything, BUT.... We are most certainly going to leave the space behind with Simone Biles being an inspiration on how to make an exit.

The fact that it's only Tuesday makes today particularly insidious. Here, have a sketch of our newcomer "Vexalia (Vex) Church". She's going to be stealing all of her scenes in "Women of Xal II", but to tell you why would be tremendous spoilers~ Jamaican voice actress if we get funded for voices.

Just so you know: No, backers of the $5k are NOT paying for shipping on their poster with their OC with the cast/character(s) of choice. That would be insufferable and absurd of me. It was covered with, you know, the $5k. lol And no, I'm not marketing for the voice acting stretch goal. I'm tired!

I'm going to send the artist of Women of Xal II (Ssam_Reptile) all the positive comments left here and in reblogs. Because without him working for months on end and gambling on the Kickstarter, we literally would not have been able to make it or even the demo. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Hello, voice actors of Blue Sky! Wondering if there was any interested VAs who would love to voice these lovely ladies IF this Kickstarter hit its stretch goal via Late pledges? #voiceacting #Auditions #BlackVoices #Voiceover #Acting #CastingCall #Potentially #VO www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Find out why little Jhil is crying! And what the dad does about the situation. It's a five minute visual novel. Meant more to show newcomers how I handle even the smallest conversations. Writing and music by yours truly, and character art by Cat. BG by Spiralatlus. www.patreon.com/posts/people...

The Women of Xal II Kickstarter stretch goal with the sparkling grape juice promise? Already fulfilled! And I'd like to think that it's a well earned grape juice! lol (Apologies in advance for looking tired and scrappy. I'm approaching 40, I am allowed this. =p) #WomenofXal

In less than 3 hours, we'll be successfully funded. In overwhelming thanks to Blue Sky's denizens working miracles. I'll have to think of thanks for all the backers that made this happen. Then we gotta talk the series' actual story and characters! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

I'll make a proper post after the WHIPLASH that was these final Kickstarter hours settles and we're awake. But for now, here's a thank you image (stolen from the original game *coughs*). We did it, Blue Sky. Women of Xal II has been funded. Literally because ya'll really stepped up. Just. Thank you

140 more fans of dark magical yuri political mysteries and victory is ours! #Indie #Indiegame #Kickstarter #Indiegamedev #queer #visualnovel www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Only 164 backers and THE SEQUEL IS ON. (Less if we get more people into the upper tiers). I might have to reevaluate my disappointment. Lol Might. Women of Xal II, via @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

THIS IS HOW I FOUND OUT?! PLEASE. Don't let this be a scam or a horrible person that gave us the beautiful hope! ; A;

REASONS TO FUND THE GAME. I LOVE STREAMS OF OUR GAME. ; A;

Did I mention Women of Xal I and II have polyamory? As well as the ace/gay/straight options? And you can play the first game for free just to see how it works in practice? ' v' And that um, if the Kickstarter for the second one fails, we have to limit features? www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Yo. Just in case Women of Xal II's Kickstarter fails, I'm not going to give up on queer Sapphic content! I never stopped once I started, after all. I once made a big band metal orchestra musical powered by gay love. The apathy for poc content will not EVER stop me! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyGI...

It seems that the campaign has slowed down at a pivotal time. But I do hope so as well. 466 backers is going to be daunting for a visual novel with exclusively dark skinned characters, but hopefully we can find an audience wanting to support exactly that in 48 hours. Lol #gaming #indiedev #indiegame

A fun aside: Women of Xal II's demo and Kickstarter page is entirely funded on a Walmart paycheck. Not so fun fact! Walmart isn't a viable method of paying artists long term. I do not recommend doing this. Lol

The amount of reposts is as insane as it is inspiring! <3 That said, we still need 510 backers of the lowest tier ($20) in less than 65 hours, or the campaign WILL fail! And we will receive not a cent of that money! Thoughts and prayers are appreciated, but backers are how we fund real artists!

Only 538 more backers until we've beaten the odds! Honestly even if this Kickstarter fails, the sheer love and support makes me want to give backers something as thanks. Other than the original game that's currently free anyway. Women of Xal II, via @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Hey, everyone! We're at 270 backers altogether. At the lowest tier, we only need 560 more backers and the project succeeds. This is beyond doable! ITT, here's my opinion on how! Part 1/?? -We Only Need 560 backers! #Gaming #Kickstarter #Indie #Gamedev #Art www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

A giant "48 Hours Left" post is set to drop at 10:30AM EST. Probably ZERO reason to share this post. I'm just giving ya'll a heads up. Since we're going to be a little noisy these next 48 hours. Sorry for any emotional annoyances anyone suffers in advance! ; A; Just want to do the artist right...

My online voice is much like it is in person: softly spoken and not very 'large'. So hope I am forgiven for wanting to save my Kickstarter screaming for the last 48 hours. I'll instead spend the next few days saying hello to all you lovely new people! Hey! Some of your projects are really neat. :'>

Hey all, thanks to Blue Sky alone, it went from 50% to 54% within 48 hours. It's nothing dramatic, but at least it shows that if there is to be a miracle, Blue Sky is likely the only place willing to really push for it. So thank you for the effort, everyone. <3 www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Sorry, folks. Seven days to go and 50% funded. We'll need a modern internet miracle to see these lovely ladies get their sequel. I was always worried that the visuals were not appealing to most VN gamers, but... ouch www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro... #indiegame #Kickstarter #Gaming #pcgame #free

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!

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!
