48 Hours Remains For Our Kickstarter
Women of Xal II Kickstarter Link
By the time most of you read this, the Kickstarter will have less than 48 hours before it ends unsuccessfully. But oh, how we very much do not take kindly to giving up. So let's talk battle tactics.
Right now, that Kickstarter desperately needs your help. We can't finish the story the way we want to tell it without you. I do truly believe it's possible, but we do need to be honest with how this game can succeed.
At the moment, the page has enjoyed thousands of eyes on it, thousands of shares, and even several hundred people that are actively tracking it. At the time of writing this scheduled post, we're at 270 backers altogether. At the lowest tier, we only need 560 more backers and the project succeeds. This is beyond doable! And, in my humble opinion, here's how:
Back the Game if you Can: By now, thousands of people have seen this campaign and even shared it on social media, hoping it succeeds. But, and I say this with a little mirth, it cannot succeed if 90% of people are only giving thoughts and prayers. lol If you like what you played/read, you love the art. Please, please, support us if you can. So I can support the real artists so I can finish this tale that meant so much to so many people. Imagine a prayer emoticon here.
When Sharing, Tell People About the Game: This game is going to come out of nowhere for a lot of people. It's genuinely nice to see that people want this game made on principle, but to strangers, they'll want to hear about your experiences with the first game and the new demo. Why they should be invested in this particular game that happens to have a diverse cast of characters. We don't want people just backing because the characters and main writer are dark skinned. We want to tell them that the writing, characters, music, ect are exciting and worth the time! That you have favorite moments! Feel free to be specific or even personal! I don't want this campaign to simply be about helping a minority. That's why my tags are almost always... limiting, I guess.
Fill the "#Women of Xal" tag with your own unique posts: Right now, there's about 10 repeated people, myself included, using that tag. People investigating will see that and get discouraged at best, and suspicious of a scam/fake game at worse. If you got it in ya, definitely give wandering eyes something to get excited about! The more people who are involved in those tags, the more what Women of Xal is will 'click' for others. It'll do more good than the blurb below vaguely telling people what the story is about.
Women of Xal II, for those who don't know, is a sequel visual novel where you/the seer Xjena tries to maneuver your powers of foresight to stop a dark future. Political intrigue, murder, nuanced trauma~, time loops, abducted children, mystery, magic, and gender politics is, well, more concentrated than most other stories. It's free on Kickstarter, give it a try! And for those who have finished the game, Women of Xal II is set to finish the entire arc, with the threat levels higher than ever before, and supernatural forces that betray the lore you've come to know and love. Demo is available for that too! To see a full list of features for the original game or the newest demo for the sequel, hit that campaign page! Screenshots below!
