Not only has the I Was a Teenage Exocolonist fandom kept the story going with fic (336 works and counting on
AO3), they’ve been busy modding the game and making rad fan merch. Northway Games has always
granted permission for anyone to sell fan merch of our games using their own original art. It feels so amazing to have a piece of Exocolonist fandom hanging from my bag or dangling from my ears, out here in the real world.
So here’s a showcase!
(this is a repost from the Northway Games blog which is so popular it got 4500 spam comments last month when I accidentally broke the recaptcha)Official-ish Merch from Mei
Mei’s wooden charmsExocolonist artist Mei (
@bkomei) just announced preorders for the
cuuuuuuuutest wooden character charms, with unique shapes and different pictures on the two sides. They’re so slick! I love that they’re in a different chibi style than Mei used in the game, but they still give 100% Exocolonist vibes.
Preorder them here:

Mei’s also selling several prints of their in-game illustrations, and making these cool interactive CD jewel case charms that are just beautiful and all kinds of nostalgic. These will be a limited run so get one while you can!
Official-ish Merch from Lindsay
Glow Season by Lindsay Ishihiro (on my wall o stuff)Exocolonist writer/artist Lindsay also has semi-official prints available on Inprnt. I love this one of the gang telling stories around a campfire, the colors are sooooo purdy. There are also prints available of Lindsay’s creature art from in the game.

Poayo’s shop recently added keychains from guest artist BegoniaWith everything from stickers to acrylic standees to body pillows,
Poayo’s Etsy shop covers a lot of ground featuring their own fanart style. They regularly post new goodies on
r/Exocolonist (
Reddit profile) and the
Seraphic Discord, so keep an eye there to snag the new-and-hots before they sell out.
Yes even body pillows I wasn’t kiddingI’ve come across a
few other online stores with Exo merch out there, but let’s move on to one of my favorite fan creations:
The ExtraColonist Mod
Available on NexusMods.This overhaul of the first year of the game introduces a bunch of new characters, even animated and on the map. New storylines, locations, backgrounds, cutscenes, activities, items. It’s really a LOT more than you imagine.

They’re calling it a beta and I hope we get to see more, but in its current state ExtraColonist is absolutely worth playing once you reach the end of the official content and want more. It’s easy to install and jump into with a fresh game (you can keep your groundhogs/past memories). Team Seraphic (
Patreon / tip jar here) has done an amazing job. What an absolute labor of love.

The
Finji Store still has pinnies, stickers, tees and hawaiian shirts available. We’re selling a physical card game at cost via
Gamecrafters. And you’ve seen my posts for
print-on-demand xmas sweaters and
other clothes.
We’ve done five plushies through
Makeship and although these are one-off productions, I have a few squirreled away under the bed (literally) for some future giveaway. Makeship has also been bugging me to do another doll so you never know… join the
Official Discord or follow Exocolonist on Steam to hear more!
