Video: “Chaos Theory” 64k demo by Conspiracy

Oh, demoscene. I always forget you, then you come back to remind me why you are awesome. From the YouTube description:

Video version of “Chaos Theory”, a 64k intro by the Hungarian demoscene group Conspiracy. First presented at Assembly 2006, where it reached second place.

Also appeared at various film festivals such as Bitfilm, HDFEST, Ars Prix Electronica and most recently, SIGGRAPH 2007.

    Woo, first post, and you post this just as it’s bubbling in my mind.

    I just played through Kkrieger. That’s an FPS game which is all of 96kb.

    It is smaller than the files used to store a single gun in an older (C. 1999) FPS.

    Procedural generation is the shit.

    I’d recommend viewing it in something other than youtube’s shitty overly-lossy compressed video and audio.

    Either download a video here or view in “HD” with flash.

    Or just get the actual demo (only 64k!) and run it with no loss at all :

    Grand!

    I recently got re-acquainted with the demo scene because of release last week of Linger in the Shadows on PS3.

    Only $3 and well worth it.

    Demoscene looks like some Greek theater term, dem-OS-kuh-nee.

    I guess I’m thinking of “demesne”.
