The guy turned out he's actually inlove with me (because he called me "love" in another dialect I was not familliar with until I googled and weirdly I am not offended) and bought me a book about Go that I really want to have. There are 3 of them, but he's hinting he actually ordered 3 by asking my friend what gift I might like. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I ALREADY SAID I DON'T WANT A BF BUT HE SAID HE JUST WANT ME TO BE HAPPY AND I ACTUALLY AM BUT WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!?! IS THIS A SENTE MOVE?! SHOULD I JUST TENUKI?!?!?

There are 2 types of green hair:

Dark green (The obsessed. They are NOT inlove with you)

The snot green (The mysterious. They flirt with you)

Me and my bro are planning to make a Go (weiqi) club in Manila just to make more people enjoy the game and meet other players so if you're near, just DM me, even if you don't know how to play I'll make time to teach you! Just know I'm not even good myself yet! Hahah! But I love this game so please don't be shy to approach me. (Art is based on a sanrio collab)

I usually don't get why humans laugh at Akira's fashion sense, even in anime because I love his clothes colors (the pink/lilac coat, the pink argyle actually works for me idk, I'm not fashionable myself) and there's even the maroon/dark red sweater with lines he's wearing at the last episode which nostalgically reminds me of my bf (I think he got something identical!) and I think it's pretty! My bf used to wear clothes like him and people think he's fashionable. Maybe because he's tall? Anyways, I disregard all of that because THIS fit is ass.

Here is a compilation of the outfit Akira wore to the international amateur tournament, aka undeniably the worst thing he’s ever worn, which is saying something. I’ve heard this outfit described as “an abomination”, “a chopped up graduation robe”, and “a garbage bag with arm holes”, among other things.

Never forget

Women of Xal II Kickstarter: Delayed?

Hey, have you heard of the overly ambitious visual novel titled "Women of Xal" for Steam and Itch.io? (PC/Mac/Linux) Because that plays into why we might need to shelf the series for a few years. Full breakdown under the cut. (No spoilers)

For those who have gotten the True Ending, you should be fully aware that the story is about to vastly expand outside of Xuna's castle. It's a narrative must where everything that happens, happens well outside the scope of the original game in so many ways. And let's talk about scope! Especially if you have no idea what's so staggering about the original Women of Xal visual novel:

600+ optional choices we painstakingly programmed

Branching paths that people are still asking for guides on

A dozen romance options

Poly and gay options that interact with one another

Voice acting from now VERY popular voice actors

A 15 hour story full of mystery, lore, and tense politics

110 track soundtrack

4 Endings

Animations

Thousands of art assets (Bless Cat)

Years of hard work and long nights

No AI Art

100% positive reviews as of this post

Recouped $6000+, or roughly a fraction of the cost of development. After 2+ years of being released

Note that very last bullet point. Doing things for the art and passion is amazing and all, but I can't be investing literal thousands of hours into creating a game for a subset of a subset of a subset of people. I have bigger projects I want to finally get to work on. Ones I really hoped Women of Xal I would help a bit with funding. But it's not. And because of certain facts about the game, it may never be able to do so. To no fault of any of the players.

When I made Women of Xal I, my time was more readily available and I was quite a bit younger. The cost of running a company and creating a game like WoX as the first product hadn't quite hit me. I was also silly enough to believe "if you make it, they will come" to a degree. That part makes me grin in a not fun way.

But these days I have a job that takes me away from creating, but does pay the bills and debts. Debts I don't want to get into again in order to create the sequel that will undoubtedly come with far higher costs due to the game's scope. I have a better understanding of the costs of hiring returning and appropriate talent necessary to create a game better than the last. (I don't personally believe in being satisfied with an intentional steep downgrade.)

Yes there is the Kickstarter option for Women of Xal II, but there are plenty of costs and time investment that makes it an unviable avenue to explore during this point in time. After all, who but the people who sat down and explored everything the first game had to offer would understand how we came up with a $50,000 Kickstarter price tag for a visual novel's sequel? Especially since too many will look at the first Kickstarter and believe we made the first game with only $14,000.

I have thought about giving Women of Xal I a modernized facelift with a smaller Kickstarter, complete with a ton of new features and fun ways to streamline and highlight the narration's strong points, but there's a LOT of baggage that comes with that, including not wanting to go backwards when I still want to create my "pipe dream" projects.

So I'm thinking we'll give it a bit more thought these next few days, and if we can't think of a solution that we haven't already tried, we'll officially announce the delay (and before you suggest your own ideas, know that there's a 99% chance we've already tried it).

A long, long post just to say I do sincerely apologize for having people wait longer, but I am literally still a few thousand dollars away from paying off all my debt that came from funding the first game. It's a micro-trauma I do not feel inclined to repeating again. When the franchise is in a better place, or I am emotionally/physically, I will return back to Women of Xal to finish the story. If I cannot, I will release a summary of events that transpire after the first game's true ending.

But for now, I'm going to focus on financial and emotional healing, and creating projects that I feel will be more appreciated by both myself and people who are turned off by what "Women of Xal" offers.

Thank you all for supporting our small company these past several years. <3

I CANNOT stress enough how this official art reminds me of Brokeback Mountain 🤣😂

Idk why I drew young Touya Koyo... it's not because I was wondering if he'll wear non-traditional clothing if he travel abroad (which the manga answered, yes, he wore dress shirt) and I sure am not attracted to older men, no way, he kinda resembles Mads Mikkelsen, no I swear I'm not attracted to senior citizens. I sure am not. I swear.
