The demoscene is still pumping out amazing stuff. Check out this ~5 minute 64K demo (2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX7ESVZ7T6Y.


IMHO not very many 64Ks have reached the amazingness of this 11 minute one from 2000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3n3c_8Nn2Y

...and for 4K, this one from 2009:

These dudes doin' mountains and oceans and music in 4K and yet it takes LinkedIn and the like like 9MB worth of assets to show me a bit of text.


This is probably the most impressive 64K I've seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWwNgVwQG1A


'elevated' is an absolute marvel of a demo...


There was a superb demo I can't seem to find again, one of the scenes was a giant spaceship floating in the distance above a desert, and some silhouette people were walking atop a dune along with goats or some other animal. I seem to remember there was some article from the author about the implementation. If anyone can throw some link in my general direction then I'll throw back some <3 in theirs :)



That's it! The specific scene is at 1:14[0], and the article, is titled "How a 64k intro is made"[1].
