Half of what you wrote is totally incorrect. Only a handful of people work on each of these project 99% of the time, and even 1k/4k demos last longer than 30 seconds. 4k's these days last for upto 3/4 mins and can produce 10's of MBs of data. 64Ks generate upto 170 in one case, normally under 100Mb though.

kothog: there is no limitation on the runtime, and 64 kilobyte are enough for a few minutes of nice graphics and audio. the typical runtime for a demo is somewhere around 5 minutes ;) download some and try it out for yourself.

64kb, that's insane. Pure genius.

chevkoch: go to the URL, ( w w w . s c e n e . o r g ) and get the file ``fr019_final´´, its my all-time favorite demo, 64 kilobytes. its strange that they put it into a zip-file, because it is not possible to further compress those demos, the exe-files are already at maximum compression.

Cheers for that! I just watched it, mesmerizing. Some parts really remind me of Rez stylewise, which I played on Dreamcast a longer while back. Too bad I found out too late about some demoscene festivals that were held only recently, like that Breakpoint one, which sounds exciting. Interesting field.

Kinda funny when he says at the beginning that demos are "the latest trend in computer animation". Guess they couldn't have impressed their viewers with footage from old 8-bit/16-bit demos (even though there is a tiny bit present at the beginning of that film).
