Like for many others, Second Reality was more than a formative demo for us, and it was always a bit disheartening to know that even after the original source was released, it never made it to other platforms - so we decided to change it: for the 32nd anniversary, we're happy to present the first Windows port, including source. Enjoy!

In case you missed it, we have released our first 64k intro with our new toolchain! There's also going to be some more content in the articles section about how it works, so keep your eyes peeled.
2023-11-18 22:13:18 - Say Hello To Our Little Friend
Aside from making intros, we sometimes do the occasional odd venture around the scene: Check out the The Diskmag Onlinification Project, a little restoration / archeology undertaking of some of our formative media from the olden days.
2021-04-04 11:07:00 - Slated For Release
It's been a few years, but we've not been sitting on our hands - we've just been preparing our latest intro: Clean Slate has been released at the online edition of Revision 2021! It also carries on our long standing tradition of breaking 64k competitions!
2019-06-02 20:21:34 - Full Steam Ahead
Now that there's a second generation of VR headsets, we decided to put Offscreen Colonies VR on Steam - still for free! Enjoy!
2018-06-19 14:57:03 - Ferris Makes Conspiracy Make Demos
Our friend Ferris has a pretty popular Twitch/YouTube economy where he regularly shows off his work process, and recently he asked us to join him and show off our toolchain - and we gladly obliged! You can check out the video here if you wanna see how we do intros, and you can also support him on Patreon if you think his stuff was worth your time!
2018-04-30 19:29:50 - Every beginning has an end.
Since we regularly forget to update the news section here it's probably worth mentioning that we released the third and final episode for our cataclysm-trilogy at Revision 2018 (and won the competition): enjoy When Silence Dims The Stars Above!
2017-12-10 11:45:14 - Inside the matrix
Always eager to look into new technology, we've decided to take Offscreen Colonies, and create a version that you can experience in virtual reality; we're happy to announce that it is now available from the Oculus Store for free, not only making it available for a whole new audience, but also making it probably the first demoscene product to receive a PEGI rating!
2017-05-03 11:58:43 - Round three!
You know it speaks volumes of a party when it took us two weeks to realize we haven't written a news item about it - Revision 2017 ran through us with some amazing competitions, netting us a second place in a frankly insane 64k compo and three Meteorik award wins, including Best Demo! And of course if you haven't yet, it's a good time to take a look at our new intro called Vessel.
