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!

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

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!

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:

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!

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.

#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
August 20, 2025 at 2:44 PM
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!

5) Somehow, all of this was possible with a modest $14k Kickstarter, and so much out of pocket working retail. The production value from a first time dev is only as impressive as the fact the game has only made around $8,000 in revenue. Yet despite the financial risks, a sequel is in the works!
August 9, 2025 at 4:45 PM
4) There are a few voiced scenes, but when they show up, it's GOOD stuff. Big names like Suzie Yeung, Sean Chiplock, Natalie Van Sistine (all hail the name), and Anairis Quinones and so many other talented voices all gave stellar performances that really showed what the writing could be at its best.

3) The story can get.... political and violent. When things hit the fan, you'll be scratching your head wondering how it all fits together and why it all does! And with the unique cast of characters, you'll get that grandiose political maneuvering with that ground-level realism in equal measure.
August 9, 2025 at 4:45 PM
2) Twelve romance options. But that's not as impressive as the options you get in general! So many people have interacted with one another, wondering how the other unlocked certain dialogue or scenes. How to get certain endings. And how they stumbled upon the True Ending. It's overwhelming for many!

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 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!

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
