The image! It's the second part of the strip meme! Tumblr unlocked it, but Blue Sky did not. So there's no opportunity to unlock the 3rd part until the first part is cleared. Axay is next. I'm just being cheap because layered characters of this quality is expensive! Gotta use it for the game.

For the curious:

I update Kickstarter once a month, typically on the 30th or on the 1st. I might delay it a few days if I'm told a juicy update is coming.

However, small stuff like sketches, visuals, and what have you will be dropped here weekly. Sometimes it's me being a nerd about the writing.

Oh my grief, I don't think I'm EVER doing a story about slavery ever again.

This is getting emotionally PAINFUL. And I know I haven't even touched the wide spectrum of mindsets and politicians. Spectrums, mind you, that birth their own spectrums.

Women of Xal I was, frankly, simple, I'm learning,

Alright BlueSky! I did this at midnight, so I'm giving a bump for people who are actually awake!

Xuna and Axay won the strip meme poll on Tumblr. But we're dropping here on BlueSky first!

Obviously, you cannot "strip Xuna". She won't even indulge you for your sake. Like every other character on the poll, she volunteered, and was pleased to win. So really... she's really just indulging herself.

Liked that vibe from Sonic 4's teaser trailer?

Thank Sonic CD for that. Follow me because I keep niche gaming knowledge all the time and all that. And make even more niche games.

Context: I'm not subscribing to Eastwest anymore, so I'm just purchasing a perpetual license so I can own the instruments I use. And. Ahahahaha. Ah. Expensive. Paid for with my lil' Walmart paycheck. Not an emergency or anything, but I will take emotional support for the emotional DAMAGE. lol

Weep for his paycheck, for it is lost.

I don't want to get anyone too excited, but Women of Xal II's script is FEROCIOUS in a way the first game could only build up to.

The pacing is brisk, the twists and turns keep coming, and it's actually the optional character arcs that slow things down. (Whereas in the original, it was the setup)

If reasonable, please add a way followers can stream my original music without having to go to another site, @bsky.app! It's devastatingly brutal getting people to click for composers as is!

One of my biggest worries about "Women of Xal II" is not the scope or the ability to complete it. It's not even if people will think I wrote women horribly.

It's worry that people will expect patterns from other stories, and not listen to what characters are saying. What they're deliberately not.

And we're actively working on the sequel!

Can't even raise a brow. I thought of at least two toxic yuri ships from WoX that would better off be called Cursed Yuri.

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.

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? Sorry, followers who have already seen this! But I really do need to get out more and MEET peeps!

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~

I love 2D art! But we already have 3 artists for our games and don't need more!

Oh shoot it's YOU! O_O Your animations are literally used as references for my various dream projects. Yes let's definitely connect!

2D animators can slide in, too. But it'll be WAY longer before I can adequately afford ya'll for long-term animations and full-on cutscenes. Even with my usual (ethical!) methods of mitigating costs like rev-shares and what have you. 3D is expensive too, but reusing a model is the saving grace there

Not coming from a place of ethics, either: I will try to bring costs down with zeal! I'll simplify work, only allow so many hours, sacrifice polish, cut scenes, offer Rev share, slither Kickstarter gambles, ect. So if a RETAIL worker is willing to commission test samples, your clients should too!

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.
