Finji @ LudoNarraCon 2021

We're excited to announce that starting Friday, April 23 through Monday, April 26, we'll be a part of LudoNarraCon!

LudoNarraCon is a games convention that takes place entirely online, through Steam! Starting on April 26th, you'll be able to hop on to the special LudoNarraCon steam page and access dozens of demos, including ones for the games we're exhibiting: Chicory: A Colorful Tale, I Was A Teenage Exocolonist, and TUNIC*. Demos will be available on each game's store page, so keep an eye out for a chance to go hands on!

Additionally, we'll be hosting various panels, streams, and Q&A sessions, both here on Steam and in our official Discord server. Keep an eye out on our official channels for a schedule.

We're stoked to be a part of LudoNarraCon once again, and we can't wait to hear what you think of our upcoming titles. Don't forget to wishlist if you haven't yet!

See you soon!

*The TUNIC Demo requires the use of an Xbox 360 or newer controller (XInput)

Joining forces with Finji!

Big news: we are teaming up with our friends at Finji to bring I Was a Teenage Exocolonist to you!

To celebrate, the Exocolonist 2020 demo will be available again until the end of November.



Yes THAT Finji, the people who brought you Night in the Woods, Overland, Wilmot's Warehouse, FEIST, Panoramical, Canabalt and Capsule. And soon Chicory, TUNIC, and I Was a Teenage Exocolonist!

We are incredibly stoked by our partnership with Bekah, Adam, and the rest of the Finji team. I’ve known them for many years and can’t emphasize enough how much respect I have for Finji as publishers, designers, and leaders in our industry. Northway Games has always self-published until now, but I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is our biggest game yet, and merits this opportunity to reach a wider audience with Finji leading the way.



Happy Thanksgiving to Americans, and happy Exocolonist-Finji day to everyone.

Developer Live Stream!

Join me this afternoon for an impromptu live stream where I play I Was a Teenage Exocolonist and ramble on for a bit about game development or whatever.

No I will not do funny voices. I'm not promising high energy. It's going to be SO FUN especially if you like watching people squint and screens and mumble about bugs they have to fix.

What to expect from the demo

Hi there! I'm Sarah and I'm one of the developers for I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. Do you want to try it? We've got an empty spot right here...

Okay great, take a seat, and here are some headphones for you. You can put your swag bag on the table there. Wow, that's a cool enamel pin you're wearing, what game is that from?

So, this demo is 1 to 2 hours long, and you can play it again to see different events. I know - that's a long demo! But it's only the first year of the game. The full game will take place from age 10 - 19. A lot will change from the innocent first steps you'll take in this demo.

Okay, just press that DOWNLOAD DEMO button and you're all set. I'll be over here in the Steam Discussion Group and I'd love to hear what you think when you're done!
