I'd delved into the demo scene back in the '90s. One of the key things about it was the insane amount of code optimization -- they could make an incredible fly-through with rendered textures, music, lighting, and have it all crammed into something that could fit on a floppy disk. As in, MAYBE one megabyte. There was a game written in the early 2000s called .kkrieger (the dot is part of the name) that was a playable first-person shooter, with rendered weapons and enemies and environments, with sound effects and lighting... but the entire file was only 96k.
I talked a lot about this in the deTuned vid 😎 Sorry to plug myself th-cam.com/video/6pt9KItBxuI/w-d-xo.html Yeah there's something really cool about them. I've continued watching them and googling around since finishing this haha. Idk why I'm becoming so interested in this
Yeah you're definitely right. The mispronunciation of names and weapons is definitely a theme of the channel that I get roasted for often so thanks for being chill about it 👍

Absolutely LOVED this back in the day. Between the tech and the imagery, I couldn't stop replaying this and admiring the details.
small note, that "bonzaj" nickname in written in polish so it is pronounced as regular "bonzai" from japanese

Dude this is an era that I had no idea existed
Same but ive become infatuated with it. There's so many more cool things too. I'll have another demoscene vid up eventually haha
Super interesting! I love how you cover all these niche communities and games
Surreal game from Polish development team I didn’t even know about? If I can still buy it on PSN it’s gonna be my next game to play.
You can actually! I bought it again for this video. Its a bit annoying cause you can't add funds to the PS Store on PS3 anymore but it's still up 👍
Good vid brother
Thanks man!
I think you forgot to link the video about fur rendering.
Oh yeah true. That was such a weird off-topic point hahaha. Linked it in the Description, thanks man !
@@GaminylGames Thanks.
