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

Found footage of Blue Sky carrying the Women of Xal II Kickstarter to the finish line. #Gaming #BlackSkyGamers #IndieGameDev #Pocgames www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

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!

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!
