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!

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!

*Charlie. See? Never heard of him.

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.

Is Hollow Knight Silksong's 'cheap' price a problem for other indie games? Devs and publishers weigh up its impact Is Silksong really too cheap, and is it causing a problem for other indie games? We find out what indies and publishers think.

Finally found a decent link!

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

A spammable reminder that the first game will be free to download and play when the Kickstarter launches~

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!

Coming soon: Women of Xal II Original Game Free! The revolution begins. Can Xjena survive rising violence and The Great Silenceโ€” Xal's final extinction event?

Psst. The Kickstarter in question. Follow it, the first game will be ABSOLUTELY FREE when this KS launches, so you can actually enjoy the feistier sequel's demo without having to spend money just to understand what's going on.

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!

09.09.2025 02:05 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes by being active, that means we will include what the first game did, what it offers, and how the second game will be different and elevate what the original achieved. With several posts and several lovely pieces of art to accompany the posts!

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!

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.

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.

With just a pinch of the unhinged and subversion that isn't really subversion when you realize I'm stealing from real life, not tropes. ...Most of the time.

And by queer I do in fact mean the ancient definition. It's just... strange writing. It's precariously written to where I don't think anyone reasonable can ghost write or replace me as the writer. It's got a lot of relying on people's intelligence, subtext buried under subtext, and mean streaks.

21.08.2025 01:34 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

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

(Check the link on a previous post for what the 5k reward offers) as the prize. If I do this option, it's definitely going to be exclusively DURING the campaign. Not before.
Thoughts?

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)
