We released I Was a Teenage Exocolonist here on Steam just over two years ago! This week we're celebrating our Exoversary with a big 50% off sale (our deepest discount yet), a free demo, and the launch of two new plushie campaigns! Oh, and we'll be streaming the complete soundtrack here on Steam, so sit back and listen while you gaze at these sweet balls of fluff n' stuff.

The two featured specimens are:

Xenofelis monopodus (the common hopeye)

Hopeyes leap around on a single foot, and live in colonies with up to 100 others. They love cuddles.

Xenosaurus polyped (the dillypillar)

Dillypillars are generally solitary, and can grow up to 100 pairs of feet! This particular dillypillar is just a wee four-legged juvenile, named Socks for her white-colored feet. She loves cuddles too.

Get yours before September 25th

Crowdfunding-style campaigns

We have one month to get a minimum of 200 orders. On September 25 the campaign ends, and if we've met our goal then every plushie will be made-to-order for our backers. After that, no more will be made! The estimated shipping date is December 14th so you miiiight get yours in time for the holidays, but if you're planning to gift one to somebody, maybe have a nice card ready just in case your xenofauna is a little late.

Limited time only

Socks and the hopeye are the final Exocolonist plushies we have planned to make. I may always change my mind later, but you've been warned, these might be the last! So if you get one (or both for a 10% discount) maybe don't play with them in the garden like I did with these two samples. They have dirt all over their butts now!

Get yours before September 25th

Come join us on Discord to celebrate with the devs! - Sarah exosmile

Exocolonist is still in development.

Growing up in humanity's first extrasolar colony, you and your family are refugees from Earth flung into a new world of wonder and danger. You have your whole life ahead of you: Will you become an engineer and bring modern technology to this jurassic planet? Or cultivate the alien plants and live in harmony with exotic nature? Battle the massive beasts which rule Vertumna, or nurture future generations of humans?

Your decisions matter; whether to study, learn to play an instrument, obey your parents or sneak out to explore the hazardous jungle. Adolescence is full of awkwardness and clumsy mistakes, but everything you learn will make you - and your colony - stronger. Your memories, decisions and friendships will be at your side when strife is near, becoming collectible cards used for everything from taking a math test to escaping the jaws of a wild snapbladder.

A strange connection to an orbiting wormhole causes you to remember events from your past lives. It'll take many lives to find every ending and ultimately a way to save both your colony and the planet.

Exocolonist is going to have this great stuff:

800 story events - too much to experience in one lifetime, but luckily you'll have many.
250 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)
30 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.
25 jobs - goof off behind the counter as a depot clerk, or join a survey team and chart the Valley of Vertigo.
15 skills - will you focus on empathy and organization, or train up your toughness and bravery?
10 dateable characters - dogboys, aliens, hot politicians and cold-as-ice killers. Can you guess what your childhood friends will grow up to be?

Plus all the basics:
