.krieger is amazing. I hope to god they follow through with a full game of any kind.

wow i didn't knew someting like that was possible.... i knew the demo-scene was globally really active... but THAT is the most impressive coding thing i've seen since a lotta years. Procedural textures generated on the fly ! God they are crazy

well kkrieger is pretty old by now so i guess their procedual textures were only a nice idea. Granted a very very nice idea but nowadays storage memory is rather cheap. I would however imagine it to be very useful for changing online games.. a MMPORG with new stories, dungeons and textures every weeks.. download a few kb of math instructions to calculate the textures.

Imagine the possibilities! IMAGINE!!!! A ginormous online RPG world that you could easily access and explore with your browser! (Haha! No not like RuneScape!) Giving Automated Content Download a totally new dimension!

where's the point? you got to download textures there (although it would be nice to have math-instructed textures there... always takes long to load the textures...)

Storage memory's been cheap for a long time now, already when it was released. It's not that the demoscene is trying to achieve anything "useful" (imagine that) with this and intros. They're just doing it for the sake of doing it and trying to push the limits. There isn't and very likely never will be a reason to squeeze something that requires massive computation into 4k, 64k or indeed 96k.

I remember reading about them trying to make money off of that calculated textures thing. No idea if they got some deal or not..

It was even digged too late, some hilariously ignorant comments here
