A small team of passionate artists, writers, and coders currently working on an expansion mod for I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. We are an aspiring game company looking to create multi-ending LGBTQ+ games.
We'd like to thank everyone for their patience while we worked on this two year update, and are excited to finally share it all with you!
You can download the update here! Make sure to follow theinstructions at the bottom of the page and feel free to read up on some of the changes.
Have fun playing!
After you've played, we also have an updated content survey for you to share your feedback if you'd like. We really appreciate hearing everyone's thoughts and are always looking for ways to improve ^^

Have you been keeping up with the ExtraColonist mod's Stratos Teen Reveals on our Discord server? 👀✨
If not, here are the reveals for Gene, Mel, and Calli...
Genesis (She/They) Despite countless medbay visits and constant care from their mother, Gene is more erratic then ever. Some days she's calm and some days they're an anxiety riddled mess. On other days, though? They're butting heads with people they used to call a friend and too angry to have genuine conversation with. Everyone knows teenagers are anxious and irritable, but is that really all there is to it?
Bromelain (They/Them) Despite the growth of the colony, Mel feels more trapped than ever. Too young to be taken seriously but too old to be irresponsible, they spend most of their time on expeditions. When not out in the wilderness, you may find them in Geoponics or the Garrison.
Calligraphy (She/They) Calli is no longer the excitable, curious child they once were. Pressure to assist the colony rather than do what she loves comes at her from all angles. Despite her previous confidence in her artwork she no longer feels nearly as skillful and is determined to improve.
Make sure to join our Discord to see even more Reveals!
Our next update- which includes the final kids year and first teen year- is coming out very soon! So keep an eye out and check out our Discord for the Teen design reveals 👀✨
This adorable artwork is a collaboration piece between two artists on our Team- @endozoic and @gnomepostar !
Since we've reached 500 discord members, we're hosting a q&a to celebrate! (Though since some people don't like having to join a discord for information, we've also opened it up to social media as well ^^)
If you have any questions about the game, or about team seraphic in general, please send them through this form by July 23rd. We'll be posting our answers on the 26th. Thanks so much for your support!
You can fill this out as many times as you would like, but we ask you do not send the same question multiple times, thank you!

Thank you so much for supporting us as we create ExtraColonist! We are now officially the largest IWATEX mod and just hit 400 members on our Discord so there is an exciting reveal attached... Helios silhouettes!
Our patreons voted on what to reveal, and they wanted to see a teaser for our future crash-landed characters. Do note that there will be 5 main Helios, but only 4 are complete- that's how early you guys got us here! What do you think their augments and personalities are?
and don't worry, progress will be moving smoothly and faster than our first year from now on! We have a clear workflow and thorough mod loader created during this first year.

A new year brings a new build, and with it, two new characters! The next update for the Extracolonist mod will feature our final two additions to the Stratospheric and we couldn't be more excited for you to meet them!
Meet Peri (He/they)
Lost your prized possession? Want to know what someone thinks of you? Detective Imperative is on the case! Despite being the grandchild of Eudicot, Peri is anything but stoic. More often than not, they're off trying to find the next big mystery to solve. Now that they're finally planet-side, there's no stopping what Peri will find! Peri plans on figuring out everything the future has to offer. It's up to you whether you want to be his sidekick or not.(edited)
The new build will be available for patreon members today, and to the general public on January 6th!
Join your old favorites, newly added characters like Calli, Avian, and Felix, and now our final two stratos additions Mel and Peri in your first year on the exoplanet Vertumna!
Following this, we may have smaller updates for bug fixes and other things, but the next major update will finish the childhood years.

Meet Mel (They/them)
For 12 years Mel's been stuck in a cramped metal tube rocketing through space. Now that the Stratospheric has landed, nothing's gonna stop them from exploring the wilds!
...Except their parents. And the survey team. And every other adult. Whether its roughhousing with Anemone, practicing their survival skills, or fixing the many, many holes in their clothes, Mel takes on all tasks they enjoy with zeal (and all tasks they don't with aggravation). They have big plans for life on Vertumna. You're welcome to come along- if you can keep up!
The new build will be available for patreon members today, and to the general public on January 6th!
