I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is available now!

For more news, check the Presskit, Devlog, Twitter or join the mailing list:

15 skills - will you focus on empathy and organization, or train up your toughness and bravery?
1000 story events - too much to experience in one lifetime, but luckily you'll have many.
25 jobs - goof off behind the counter as a depot clerk, or join a survey team and chart the Valley of Vertigo.
10 dateable characters - dogboys, aliens, hot politicians and cold-as-ice killers. Can you guess what your childhood friends will grow up to be?
200 battle cards - loosely based on poker rules, make the best hand from cards like Up to your Knees in Mud (adjacent cards get +1) and Testing on Humans (cards to the right become blue)
50 endings - find every way to die, aim to become Governor one day, or live a simple life as a botanist and let others take care of the monster-slaying.

Faceless and Friends

Happy Exoversary!

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist has been everyone’s favorite solarpunk time loop stats-raising coming of age narrative/sim game for three years! As is tradition, we’re celebrating our Exoversary with a half price sale and free demo on Steam, a dev stream, and our biggest ever (physically big that is) plushie campaign!

Developer draw & talk

Join us on Thursday, August 28 at 9am PT / 12pm ET on the Finji Twitch Stream for chatting and doodles with devs Sarah, Mei, Lindsay, and our host Aster from Finji. There will be giveaways!!

Faceless and friends

We’re doing another limited time plushie campaign with Makeship! This time for a jumbo-sized faceless plushie that comes with two mini accessory sized dolls of Dys and Sym!

Yes I lied before when I said we wouldn’t make any more! Who could resist taking that big squiggly wiggly stompy baddie and turning her into the cutest eldritch puppy dog? Just look at that face! (what face?)

Get yours before September 16th

Limited time only campaign

This time we have three weeks to get a minimum of 200 orders. On September 16 the campaign ends, and if we’ve met our goal then every plushie will be made-to-order for our backers and delivered in December. After that, no more will be made!

There’s a special bonus of a free Steam key for the first 200 orders which will be delivered at the end of September.

(Sol doll for scale)

She’s big!

This faceless plush is jumbo sized, quite a bit bigger than our previous Makeship dolls. And Dys and Sym are keychain sized little fellers that tuck snuggly into those squiggly wigglers (you can tell at least Sym enjoys it). It would be pretty easy to actually turn them into purse charms if you’re crafty.
