Foster-Nova, Andres Cortes-Bryan Chevalier, and Bruce Carrington-Bernard Torres will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT

NEW YORK — WBC junior lightweight world champion O’Shaquie “Ice Water” Foster (21-2, 12 KOs) and Abraham “El Super” Nova (23-1, 16 KOs) are ready to lock horns in the main event of an ESPN-televised tripleheader this Friday, Feb. 16 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. This will be the second title defense for Foster, a native of Orange, Texas, who salvaged his title with a come-from-behind 12th-round knockout over Rocky Hernandez last October. In the 10-round junior lightweight co-feature, Andres “Savage” Cortes (20-0, 11 KOs) takes on Puerto Rican contender Bryan Chevalier (20-1-1, 16 KOs). Rising featherweight Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington (10-0, 6 KOs), the latest fistic prodigy from Brownsville, Brooklyn, will face Filipino-born Bernard Torres (18-1, 8 KOs) in the 10-round televised opener. Foster-Nova, Cortes-Chevalier and Carrington-Torres will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The ESPN+-streamed undercard (5:20 p.m. ET/2:20 p.m. PT) will feature the return of Italian heavyweight Guido Vianello (11-1-1, 8 KOs) in an eight-rounder against Moses Johnson (11-1-2, 8 KOs), as well as U.S. Olympian Tiger Johnson (11-0, 5 KOs), who risks his unbeaten record against Paulo Galdino (13-7-2, 9 KOs) in an eight-round junior welterweight tilt. Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Murphys Boxing and 12 Rounds Promotion, tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster.com. At Wednesday's press conference, this is what the fighters had to say. O’Shaquie Foster   “The journey has been everything. The ups and downs. Growing as a person. I’ve matured now, mentally and physically. Words can’t explain how I feel, but I’m ready.”   “It was crazy {against Rocky Hernandez}. We shocked the world. And I’m here to do it again. Everybody calls me Shock, and we’re going to keep doing it.”   “We’ve been calling out Nova for years. He knows it. His excuse was that my name wasn’t big enough. Funny how the tables turn. I’m ready, and I’m familiar with his style.”   “I did everything in the gym. We are prepared. Come Friday night, we will dominate and put on a show.”   Abraham Nova   “Fighting for a world title is a dream come true. I can’t let this opportunity slip by. I’ve wanted this for so long. Now I have this opportunity. So, I’m super excited and super motivated.”   “I like to take control of things in my career. It’s the main reason I picked boxing. It’s an individual sport. I can be in control.”   “I’ve got to put my trust in God. Everything in the gym has been done. You know what I bring and what I come with. The pressure will be on. The IQ will be on. Everything will be on. I will just have to adjust and come out with the victory.” Andres Cortes “I’m really excited to be here. First time here. Let’s get the show started." "You can expect another statement from me. You’ll see me taking another step towards a world title.”   “I see a world title in my future. I’m here to take care of Bryan first. But maybe one day we can make that fight happen.”   Bryan Chevalier “The ring is the same throughout the world. It’s a square. It’ll just be me, him and the referee. We’re ready to give a great show to boxing fans.   “Styles make fights. I prepared to give the best of me. I will accommodate to what he has. He will have to accommodate to what I have. Without a doubt, it will be a war between Mexico and Puerto Rico.” Bruce Carrington   “I love these opportunities to fight at home. Bernard Torres is a southpaw. It’s always interesting to fight against a southpaw. He's a good fighter. 18-1. Great record. He shows a lot of will and skill. There’s nothing more you can ask for in a opponent.”   “He's a good fighter. But with my experience, confidence, and work ethic, I know that I’ve got a Plan A through Z and even more to take care of Bernard Torres.”   Bernard Torres   “Growing up in boxing, it’s a dream to fight here. So, I’m happy to box here at Madison Square Garden. I am really happy for this opportunity. I’m very prepared. I had a really great camp. I’m really happy and ready to go.”

Women of Xal | Launches Oct.

Two years late, but we can all but confirm that October 2021 will see the launch of this game. 

All we're doing now is running through the game.... several times to find as many obtuse bugs as we can. When we have more energy and time, we'll launch the marketing campaign "Do it For Her Smile" and introduce sale milestones and how you can (optionally!) help make this game do as well as possible so future projects have a wonderful foundation to build on. The game has some updates planned, largely (free) DLC for the romance OC option and whatever bugs people run into. And waiting for Kickstarter to give us access to everyone's names for Kickstarter credits in... the credits. But all in all...

We did it.

Working hard on the web version of Paris After Marville. There are many possibilities here - live Google maps, Streetview, panoramas, audio, adding the Atget images and so on. Still, it is a lot of time and it has been great to be in Berlin - carving out time for this work along with exploring the city.

Early Access Results: WoX News

Women of Xal: Early Access 2.0 | STEAM

Women of Xal: Early Access 2.0 | Itch.io (Allows Tips!)

August 22nd is at hand, which means it’s time for us to come to a decision on whether we’re adding a plethora of amazing features, or we go forward and finish the product and polish what’s there with the assets we have. More after the image!

We - all of us - you included, gave it a good college try, but Early Access did not make enough to financially justify the time, energy, and costs. If I may put you all in my shoes for a minute: This production cost around $50k to make. $14k from Kickstarter, and the rest from my stint at retail and commissions. When our programmers and artists are overwhelmed, I did what I physically could myself. Just yesterday, I worked from the first post Liz appeared all the way until 2PM EST without getting any sleep. Due to said efforts, Early Access 2.0 comes with more animations, polish, subtitles, fixes, a less talkative Xanamae, voice acting, and visuals. This may all sound like a rehash for you, but I think it’ll help really bring down the next sentence all the more:

After 4 years of working days like today and spending thousands, my projected earnings for August after all the revenue splitting is... $160.

That’s stressful news, but not completely bad or unexpected. Not only are many, many, many people waiting for full release, but Steam’s main sales are from full releases. This is due to Steam only showing games on the front page after it leaves Early Access. So we are all but guaranteed to receive more money in September. However, all that said, we’re going to finish up what we have and call it a production.

Financial reasons aside, it’s been incredibly stressful asking the artists and programmers to push onward for 4 years. I want them to have a break, and I also sort of want a break. Did you know I’m still in Critical Role Series 1 episode 48? Or that my copy of Cuphead hasn’t been touched? It’s been that kind of 4-year production. It’s time to call it.

Now don’t get me wrong, upon full release, we’ll provide some great updates afterwards! And we will add backer-specific content as free DLC, but, as far as official production work goes past that? It’s all reliant on the full release sales.

Thank you all so much for making this journey as stress-free as possible.

PlotTwist Studios’ official website is now up! The pre-music purchase page is a little bare, as is the content we’ve released under our company name (for obvious reasons), but you can learn one or two new things about the company that you couldn’t before! There’s also an investor page, but we definitely won’t push that until we have a new video specifically for them!

Life After Women of Xal

As promised, here’s what you can look forward to after Women of Xal is fully released on Steam and itch.io; our plans for the future.

Supporting Women of Xal | 2022

The most obvious one is that we’ll be supporting WoX after its launch, both for unexpected bugs and adding fun DLC -- some free, some may be paid (But obviously non-essential; we’re not Electronic Arts or Activision!) How long this lasts will be based on sales.

Small One-Shot Projects | 2021-2022

Before we do anything else that takes years to make, we’re SO going to relax, celebrate with a staff party, give our sprite artist Cat a glittery crown of excellence, catch up on shows and games we couldn’t enjoy during development, ect. Then, we do short little 1-hour games, comics, merchandise, and fun things that will help me understand how to keep the scale of a project as initially intended. Because~

Xynthology: Tabletop Roleplaying Game |2023?

Using in-lore rules from games like Women of Xal and books like Mesto Accelerando and This Crazy World, we’re going to go head-first into creating a combat/interaction system with a streamlined yet potentially complex leveling system that’s easy enough to grasp for a single post card to tell you the leveling rules and another for how combat generally works. Claim to fame? The Xulian Songbird class. It’s been beta-testers’ favored class by far.

Untitled Gacha Game |2024/2026?

We have a business model meant to stand out and not exploit people like, oh, pick a gacha game! However, we’re still gathering a lot of hands to put in the hat and because of that, we’ll be staying mum until we can confirm if this comes before or after Xynthology. Or after~

Women of Xal II |2025

2025 at the earliest, of course. If you beat Women of Xal I, you know -- you absolutely know we will need to go hard or go home in terms of storytelling, dialogue, and presentation (voice acting, music, art, animation, ect) We’re not going to spoil the game for anyone just yet, but if you know...you know: Women of Xal II is aiming to blow everyone’s minds away with new ideas, new arcs, and new approaches to development. \o/

[plottwiststudios]

Women of Xal: Dev Schedule

Week 1: Bad Ending + Fixes and Polishes + New Media Assets

Week 2: True Ending + Fixes and Polishes + New Media Assets

Week 3: Finish the romance dates and integrate them into game

Week 4: Library Integration + Dates and integrate into game

Week 5: Polish the game for The Final Countdown/Relase

[plottwiststudios]

Upcoming 2.5 Update:

Women of Xal Patch Notes:

Fixed several typos, including some sneaky game breaking ones

Fixed some dialogue (I nitpicked)

Velvet’s Arc Available! Velvet’s Arc Available!

New Animations

New CGs

New Voice Acting

Overhauled UI

New Music

More library books available!

Additional small tweaks

What’s likely not going to be in 2.5:

The five or so CGs we’re still waiting on.

One more animation

Sound effects

Merixa’s Arc(?)

Axay’s Arc(???)

The final UI look

Romantic Dates

Romantic CGs from dates

Most of the selfies

The last bit of the library

[plottwiststudios]

That moment when you’re polishing up the script, and each time you go back over it to flesh out more scenes/dialogue, you get to the “End Credits” portion of it quicker and quicker. 

Thank you, investors, for making it possible for us to work on this game full blazes ahead. You might have just saved our 2021 release date.

[plottwiststudios]

At long last, no more bugs coming in from the 2.5 build. I can continue writing and programming the romance dates.
