Save & Sound Music Festival

Join us on November 4-7 for SAVE&SOUND: an online music festival celebrating the fusion of innovation and artistry in gaming audio. Don't miss: Exocolonist audio team A Shell in the Pit will be discussing their first in-house game Fish Game on Nov 4 at 1pm PST (10am CET) here on Steam. I love aquarium sims and this is for sure the best one I've played. The plants and hardscape customization is soooo good and they're still adding stuff all the time (but no breeding yet - IT'S HARD). All week (Nov 4-11): the Exocolonist demo is up for a limited time. Also all week: Exocolonist will be on sale! Also-also all week: We're streaming the Exocolonist soundtrack on Steam. Our soundtrack features two hours of tracks from fourteen artists, including Em and Gordon from A Shell in the Pit (who did our sound and trailers too). If you want to know more, I wrote a blog post about it! Also-also-also all week: listen to rad soundtracks and amazing sound design in the other festival games. Hosted by Bedtime Digital Games and a group of amazing creators, the live SAVE&SOUND show will stream here on Steam, and on Twitch and Youtube. See the official site for more info.

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?
