Click download and watch the amazing video... Before, need a decent PC but boy oh boy is it worth it

All in 177kb, nice!

What the flaming hell was that!!!!! I had to watch it twice just to make sure I took it all in. I can't even begin to comprehend how that was made possible. I'm dumbstruck. Ehhhhh 177kb HOW?

Ok I need a lie down, it's actually burnt into my memory, I can visualise it in my head. I swear someday someone will manage to incorporate a powerful subliminal message into something like that and the dawn of zombies will begin.

That is a outstanding video.

RoyBatty · Apr 30, 2007, 10:58 PM

It's amazing what a skillfull programmers can stuff into such a tiny file. It is also very resource hungry, it completely ate my video card's memory + 200 MB AGP memory and 560 MB of RAM.

**dj_stick** · Apr 30, 2007, 11:55 PM

this reminds me of something a couple of years ago, "a game in 96.6kb" or something like that

all textures were dynamically generated

Da_Jewish_Fonzy · May 1, 2007, 01:18 AM

WOW! That was sweet and only 177kb? geez...

MiDri · May 1, 2007, 05:05 AM

farbrausch is an amazing group -- check out their other demos, they are by far the best on the scene.

zaim · May 1, 2007, 07:38 AM

i'm impressed.

reminds me of the movie dark city

[hobo]eclipse · May 1, 2007, 08:46 AM

thats awsome! i recall that game dj, dark lil alien shooter.

Dyre Straits · May 1, 2007, 11:12 AM

This just blew me away! What a fantastic demo!

That was exactly my thought when I started seeing buildings move. Great movie and good demo.

topbob · May 1, 2007, 05:52 PM

I love it, this reminds me of the kind of technology Maxis is using with Spore I believe, dynamically rendering textures and such on the fly.
Awesome.

Judas · May 1, 2007, 06:12 PM

and it ALL started with "The Project", a 64kb file that compared to that of at the time, 3Dmark

mainman · May 1, 2007, 06:21 PM

How in hell is that even possible...that's simple amazing..WOW..

Judas · May 1, 2007, 08:02 PM

i don't think the AA is working under vista x64 and 7.4 catalyst with crossfire.

i wonder if the demo worked fine for them under vista, cause the performance is all over the place.

BlueMak · May 1, 2007, 08:34 PM

BTW, how does this work in the first place? Someone first designed the graphics, right?

Judas · May 1, 2007, 08:46 PM

if memory serves when the orginal The Project came out @ 64kb file size, all the programming is compiled, small amounts of it is self extracted, then using the computer programs itself on the fly, that loading bar the beginning is it extracting, and then programing itself from what i understood.

RoyBatty · May 1, 2007, 09:13 PM

Yes, I'd say the content is generated during the loading phase. I found a Wikipedia article about this:

Vikingod · May 2, 2007, 01:16 AM

Wow, that was something else. It amazes me the things people can do. Makes me wish I knew anything about programming. I hope they have jobs in the games industry.

Markius · May 2, 2007, 03:06 PM

it smashed my PC for a 6

Judas · May 2, 2007, 05:02 PM

for a 6?

Yeah running it on a loop sure gives the PC a good old burn in. I'd imagine this must stress both the CPU and GPU to the max so it would make a good program to confirm an overclock.

DJShamrock · May 3, 2007, 04:18 AM

That was sick awesome.

Vehicon · May 3, 2007, 04:38 PM

WOW, that was very kickazz!!

HAHAHA, nice movie quote

Quote:

at its heart this is still the werkkzeug3/kkrieger engine, except with a
new(*) lighting/material system. models and textures are still generated.
(though we don't use the sizeoptimized versions of everything, which made
our lives a lot easier). we also still use shadow volumes, which makes the
demo somewhat cpu-hungry, especially towards the end, since we have to
transform a lot of the animated models by hand. but we didn't want to change
the whole lighting pipeline in the middle of a project.

(*): it was actually used for some scenes in fr-048: precision, but (as you
can see from the fr-number) that was started a lot later than debris, so this
demo is atleast historically its first real user)
