insane small 96kb game

oh my god. thats very impressive. the load time is pretty long though and cant say much for the gameplay. must be some massive compression. task manager shows 300mb in memory after it loads :Q looks beautiful. runs kinda slow on a 6600 GT and 3200+, surprisingly

quote from readme file:
"- We do .not. have some kind of magical data compression machine that is able to squeeze
hundreds of megabytes of mesh/texture and sound data into 96k. We merely store the
individual steps employed by the artists to produce their textures and meshes, in a very
compact way. This allows us to get .much. higher data density than is achievable with
normal data compression techniques, at some expense in artistic freedom and loading times."

So everything is done in real time I guess 😉.

Yup, it's actually pretty old. I saw it a year ago. They haven't done squat with it in the past year.
 
Ah Kreiger... I played that I think last summer. Didn't think much of it, but now that I see that it's less than 1MB, I'm much more impressed.

Seen stuff like that before. 64kb games that took 30+ minutes to load because of all the compression

It's not really compression... it creates the textures on the fly... that's what takes so long.
 
It's quite awesome actually. The file size is actually 95 kbs. The controls are too sloppy though, gives me a headache just playing it.
