  • Rewriting old player movement code

    In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

    So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • A time for change

    Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

Ok, this is damn impressive. The title says it all. You can download the file and view pictures at http://theprodukkt.com/ .
requires:
- A 1.5GHz Pentium3/Athlon or faster.
- 512MB of RAM (or more)
- A Geforce4Ti (or higher) or ATI Radeon8500 (or higher) graphics card
supporting pixel shaders 1.3, preferably with 128MB or more of VRAM.
- Some kind of sound hardware
- DirectX 9.0b

Some discussion on it on [url="http://games.slashdot.org/games/04/04/15/1239203.shtml?tid=127&tid=186&…"]Slashdot[/url].

It doesn't look half bad either! It's got music, sound fx, multiple weapons, animated monsters etc too...

Ha, it looks better than most 1GB+ games, and takes less time to load.

Yer, runs ok on my system. I got upto the invisible barrier that blocks a door in the large room. I think thats the end of the game, but from what I saw I was very impressed. Those guys are pretty hardcore =]

Yeah, very impressive. Performance could be significantly better though.

1) it's 96kb
2) it's beta, so why are you expecting performance to be great?
3) it's 96kb

Obviously the work of someone whos into the demo scene. [:)]
Pretty impressive, amazing compression, I've seen a few scrolling demos etc but nothing you can interact with.
Industry programmers could take not of the compression techniuqes lol.

I'm sure if you add decent A.I., more varied textures and higher resolution meshes as well as the multitude of other assets needed to make a game really good it would soon reach a few hundred meg. [:P]

I like the precendent something like this sets.

Instead of downloading huge games (more so on portable devices than PC) you can just download small executables that unpack and setup when they're required, or when they have space...

have a read through the readme, they briefly discuss their compression techniques.

cheers

I didn't mean to sound too harsh. My comment on performance was based purely on their recommended specs. My machine is much faster but it still couldn't maintain a smooth framerate in most areas.
