I Was a Teenage Exocolonist News

We're celebrating the sun with a tremendous trio of I Was a Teenage Exocolonist deals:

[h3]🏷️ Discount - 40% off the game[/h3]
Our lowest price yet!

[h3]🎮 Demo - playable for free this week![/h3]
The demo includes the entire first year of the ten-year game, and your savegame will transfer over to the full game if you buy it.

[h3]⏳ Deadline - to get your Nomi-Nomi plush[/h3]
Our month-long campaign for Nomi-Nomi plushes via Makeship ends July 2nd

Nomi has reached the minimum number of sales (🎉hurray!🎉), so these dolls will definitely get made, and will be shipping out in September. But we don't plan to make a second run or to sell them elsewhere, so this is your one-and-only chance to bring the one-and-only Nomi-Nomi into your home and heart. These are a limited-time pride month exclusive.

[h3]🏳️‍🌈Preorder your Nomi-Nomi here before July 2nd🏳️‍🌈[/h3]





More info and rainbow-Nomi goodness in the original announcement.

Our first round of ✨ limited-edition Exocolonist plushies ✨ was a big success, with Sols and Vrikis now nestled down in their new homes all over the land.

But someone felt left out. Someone who absolutely needed to be incarnated in plushie form.

[h2]🏳️‍🌈Pride Month Nomi-Nomi Plush🏳️‍🌈[/h2]

[h3]Get yours here before July 2nd 2024![/h3]

The first 200 sales will include a Steam key for I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, and 10% of all sales go to the Trevor Project.


Nomi is a perfect fit for plushification. You know they'd want to own a doll of themselves.

[h2]🕒A Limited-time campaign🕒[/h2]

These Makeship campaigns run like Kickstarter: we need to reach a minimum order size of 200 for the dolls to get made, and there will only be a single run of them. They should start shipping out at the end of September.


Nomi enjoying some of their favorite hobbies: video games and old zines. Well, they would be holozines in Exocolonist, but these Art Disk back issues will do.

Again, these dolls will only be for sale for one month, and you can preorder them here!

Because this is a Pride Month event at Makeship, each doll comes with a cute little detachable cape. Nomi's dress is detachable too, if you wanted to, say, design custom clothes for them. Just putting it out there. If you do customize your Nomi plush, please let us know!




Sorry about the rainbows. I can't seem to stop.

Time for one of my favorite yearly Steam events: LudoNarraCon, a festival featuring demos and discounts from story-rich games like our very own I Was a Teenage Exocolonist.



This year's featured new games include some of my recent favorites:

🔮The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
🎵Stray Gods
🗡️Slay the Princess
💰Final Profit

Plus 50 other new narrative games, newly-minted demos, big sales on tons of older games, and two days of panels and fireside chats from devs.



I Was a Teenage Exocolonist will be 35% off from May 6 - 13, and our demo will be available for the week!

This festival brought to you by the following Steam tags:

• Choices Matter
• Story Rich
• Multiple Endings
• Interactive Fiction
• Visual Novel
• Dating Sim
• Choose Your Own Adventure

For one week only, the demo is live and game is on sale as we celebrate the best of deckbuilders on Steam! I LOVE deck building games. Some of my recent favorites (all roguelikes):

🛸Cobalt Core
🗡️Inscryption
🚂Monster Train
🐉Dream Quest (obscure but essential)
🃏Balatro (current obsession)

But there will always be a special place in my heart (and a not insignificant part of my brain) for Magic the Gathering. It's been years since I've played online, but I have an unopened box of Lord of the Rings in my closet just waiting to be drafted. Something about the feel - and that smell - of glue and cardboard.

So naturally when I was designing the deckbuilding component for I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, I was already thinking about how to make a physical game out of it.



Behold: you can buy it from TheGameCrafter.com for $14.99 USD!

These are made to order (so it might take a while to ship) and feature 52 UV-coated cards in a cute mint tin, with card art from the game. I originally designed them as promotional merch so I'm selling these at cost.



And yes it includes instructions for a playable 1-person game, a simplified version of the minigame in Exocolonist. Shuffle and draw 7 cards, then play a hand of 5 which scores at least 3 points to win the round. Points come from straights, flushes, pairs, or total score, and yes, order matters.

Or screw playing the game, just enjoy the feel of your favorite Exocolonist cards right in your hands. Breathe deeply and smell that hot ink and glue. Ahhhhhh.
