Original Game Free! The revolution begins. Can Xjena survive rising violence and The Great Silence— Xal's final extinction event?

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.

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!

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.
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!

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.

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!
January 28, 2026 at 3:47 PM
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

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
January 24, 2026 at 2:30 PM
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.
January 20, 2026 at 3:01 PM
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!
January 18, 2026 at 4:42 PM
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.

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

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.

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!

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
