Hey all! Just released the demo for my latest project JUICE, a hand-drawn first-person slaughterer that throws you into an apocalyptic dual narrative between a ravenous Monster and it's victim. It's quite a departure from my other titles usual genres but I highly recommend giving it a try anyways as it's something I'm quite proud of and the beginning of a hopefully whole new level of execution in future titles.
PLAY THE DEMO HERE, IT'S ONLY AVAILABLE TILL MONDAY OCTOBER 21st!

Hey all! Announcing the FICTION #F3F collection of ambient games including Nightline, Carcavas, That Feeling Blue, æ, and Sands of Voltark. These five pieces, originally released between 2018 - 21, have been remastered, enhanced and now available on Steam :)
The collection features hours of music, dynamic 3D first person exploration and (mostly) peaceful open worlds. From infinite train rides to sun bleached deserts, there’s quite a lot to experience at leisure:)

Ode to a Moon is a first person thriller currently in development. As photo-journalist for a popular tabloid, you’re tasked with documenting a historic fall festival in a far away rural town during a centennial lunar eclipse. Camera in hand you set off to that romantic hamlet only to discover the macabre fallout of a town's descent into madness. It was inspired by real events and the belief that truth is stranger than fiction.
Keep up with the development process on twitter :)
This new update introduces 8 worlds to explore and was premiered in the Indie Megabooth's PAX East 2019 showcase! At the moment it is only compatible with Oculus Headsets, the original SteamVR alpha is still available as a beta branch and can be re-enabled from the Properties Men
At the moment it is only compatible with Oculus Headsets, the original SteamVR alpha is still available as a beta branch and can be re-enabled from the Properties Menu.
There's the retro Neon City, a beautiful Tron like CAD construct full of abstracted skyscrapers and doodle like forests. The bright Deconstructivist City, with towering shapes and labyrinthine alleys. The Desert Canyon, a wonderful oasis whose ancient ruins defy gravity. The Tropic Island, rendered in a cacophony of primary colors. And 4 Edge worlds that truly bend the senses.
Use the left joystick to move around the worlds, left index trigger to sprint and right index finger to jump. The right joystick will hard rotate your view by 45 degrees. You can move forward in whichever direction that you are looking at in the physical world.
The Developer access keys let you force load multiple different worlds as well as Quit the game. When loading a world it will randomly choose from a variety of possible starting locations.

So it's been one year since the release of 0°N 0°W. Wooooo! It really feels like a thousand years ago since I clicked that green "release" button. I just wanted to thank you all for the love, support and comments, seriously nothing would've been possible without all of you :) I couldn't be happier :)
To celebrate the occasion the game has been on sale all this week to hopefully nudge the bajillion wishlisters out there to take the plunge and finally try out 0°N 0°W. I would seriously appreciate the support, showing the game at PAX East in a couple weeks and those things can be pricy haha.
So 0°N 0°W will be at PAX East this year in Boston, March 30-31, as part of the IndieMegabooth lineup!! This is very exciting news and I'm really looking forward to hopefully catching up with any of you that might be visiting. I'll be showing both the 2D and VR versions of 0°N 0°W during the fair so please stop by the IndieMegabooth and say hi :)
Link to the IndieMegabooth Announcement and details.
I've finally joined the 21st century and created a Discord group for all Colorfiction matters. You're welcome to join and invite you friends! I mostly leave it running all day while I work so feel free to say hi or have a discussion with other 0°N 0°W fans. If I don't reply right away it's because I'm forcing myself not to in order to finish some work :p haha. So please if you see me online but I didn't get back to you right away, don't take it personally, I'm probably squashing some bugs and will reply by 3 am lol.
Well that is all friends, feel free to leave a comment below and have an 0°N 0°W day!
Much love,

As my new year's gift to everyone I made a short free game about relaxing at sea. It's called becalm and is now available on Steam. Hopefully this peaceful experience will help us all start the year in an excellent mood :)
Becalm is a short 5 minute meditative experience where you drift in a sailboat through magical waters. This is a special boat, you won't have to steer, worry about logistics, capsizing or pirates. In this trip the goal is to relax and... becalm!
It's free, as in air, and called becalm . You can find it on steam here.
Best,

Hi All! Just uploaded a quick hotfix that fixes the missing/blackscreen main menu on Mac and Linux. Should be a really small patch if you're running the game in those platforms. Please let me know if you run into any problems. All the best, -Colorfiction

This weekend I quietly pushed an update that many might have noticed that enabled support for OSX & Linux. So now everybody can play! I'm very curious as how performance is in these platforms, particularly OSX as I do not have access to a Mac (those things are costly lol), so any feedback is greatly appreciated :)
Following the philosophical principles of Linux I've decided to strip 0°N 0°W of DRM for that platform, and will probably do the same for the other versions on Steam soon ( a DRM free version for all OS's is already available now on Itch if you prefer).
IMPORTANT: This update might have also triggered a re-download of the entire game and a couple of problems installing on Windows according to some users (since I changed the depots structure). This should be sorted by now but again any feedback is appreciated so if you're running into any troubles please let me know via the community hub Bugs subforum and I'll get on it right away.
Now that 0°N 0°W is available for all platforms I'll be focusing on VR :)
Well that's all folks, thanks again for playing and a big hug/high five to y'all!

Update 1.4, Changes and Fixes: Added Features/Flora/Fauna to almost 60% of the game (more to come!). Added 3 new dimensions, can you find them? Fixed Alt-Tab issue on multi-screen situations. Fixed memory leaks on three dimensions. Fixed bug where Intro movie in ultra widescreen
You might have noticed a small patch today, well it added the very first VR beta of 0°N 0°W! This beta release is a fully explorable build of the Neon World for you to get lost in! It is intended for a seated experience with keyboard and mouse or controller and should support all
This beta release is a fully explorable build of the Neon World for you to get lost in! It is intended for a seated experience with keyboard and mouse or controller and should support all OpenVR headsets. You can most certainly stand up and do some roomscale wandering but just remember to return to your marked center point to continue exploring.
To access the beta navigate to the game's installation directory where you will notice a new folder named "VR", run the "0N0WVR.exe" located within to start the experience. Make sure you have all the dedicated hardware plugged in, recognized and SteamVR running properly before starting the application!
It is a nice collection of songs from this surreal exploration adventure totalling at 19 tracks with a runtime length of almost 3 hours! Some careful selecting had to be done as the full ensemble is over 7 hours of continous audio so if there is a particular soundscape you would like to see included do not hesitate to ask for it in the community hub :)
Hello fellow Dimensional Travelers! Have a couple of big announcements to make today: First of which; 0°N 0°W will be exhibited at PAX East in Boston this upcoming April 5 – 8 ! So if you’re in Boston that week/end come say hi and stop by booth n# 11010, it’s right next to the PA
First of which; 0°N 0°W will be exhibited at PAX East in Boston this upcoming April 5 – 8! So if you’re in Boston that week/end come say hi and stop by booth n# 11010, it’s right next to the PAX store and all the AAA booths at the far end. Not only will you be able to play the game if you haven’t already but there will be a live demo of the upcoming VR edition, and now that I mention that the next announcement is...
0°N 0°W will support VR! After giving it much thought I’ve decided that rather than have you all wait for an elusive ‘When it’s done’ release date, the 0°N 0°W VR edition will be developed in an open ‘Early Access’ format, giving you all a chance to jump into this otherworldly reality as soon as possible! Best news of this is that it’ll be a free DLC! Yes that’s right if you’ve already purchased 0°N 0°W all you have to do to participate in the VR beta is download the upcoming DLC, which will be available on April 20th.
That’s a short gif of some friends enjoying the upcoming DLC which will start off with a fully explorable VR edition of the Neon City. So you might ask why a DLC and not part of the game? Well VR involves changing a lot of the game’s architecture and shader format so it requires a complete rework of everything. Since it’s going to take time and will be developed in an ongoing manner there will be a lot of updates, the DLC format saves those that are not interested in VR capabilities from receiving this barrage of patches. So if you’re interested in VR download the DLC, if you’re not then don’t and save some bandwidth. Did I mention it’s free already? I did didn't I? but hey it’s Free! As in Air! Lol.
Today’s last announcement is that 0°N 0°W’s soundtrack will be available as a free DLC on April 20th as well! It’ll feature a large selection of the songs in the game in their full length and best of all lossless Flacs (Mp3 will be included). So again this will be an optional download so as to save bandwidth and HD space from those not interested in the lush soundscapes from 0°N 0°W.

I m standing in Alice s wheelhouse right now and it is daft. Half these things aren t even wheels and I m not sure a cabin filled with vaguely circular objects is where the expression comes from. I don t know why she s built this.
But look here. It s one of those walking simulators she s always telling us about. This one was released last week and is called 0 N 0 W (or Zero North Zero West, if you can t stand degrees). It s a fantastical multidimensional walkabout through space and time , say developers Colorfiction. Well, I ll be the judge of that. Let s go for a dander. (more…)
