Debris by Farbrausch, the winner of the Breakpoint 2007 demo competition. All of its 3D visuals, textures and music come from a single 177 KB executable.

HN recommends it as the demoscene showpiece to show someone what extreme size-limited real-time graphics look like.

> "one guy" sir, that's no way to refer to farbrausch here is their Breakpoint 2007 demo, a 177 Kb executable including 3d assets and textures. ▶ this video

It's a cute little demo that's only basically 1MB all in. That said, I don't think it's the best for this group - they've done more in far less before. ▶ this video for example, is an executable only 177KB big.

Although they generally didn't compete in the 4kb genre, Farbrausch open-sourced many of their demos and demo-making tools a few years ago [1]. fr-041: Debris [2], and kkrieger [3] (the 96kb FPS) are particularly worth checking out for the uninitiated. [1] link [2] ▶ this video [3] link

Farbrausch made the first demo I ever saw, a 2007 one called debris (fr-041): ▶ this video Super cool, and in an executable of 177kB.

Ok fair point I shouldn't have been so glib as puet is pretty horrible from a web design standpoint. It's a website for the demoscene, where people do stuff like this ▶ this video in 177 kilobytes.

If you want to really show off the demoscene, try Farbrausch - fr-041. It's comparatively very big (179KB), but impressive how they were able to squeeze so much stuff there: video ▶ this video , official repository: link . If you want to dig deeper, Farbrausch published most of their material and tools last year including the source code for fr-041. Search for farbrausch on GitHub. But I must say, it's pretty hardcore.

I always tought that the tiny hint of a narrative was why I've seen Debris[1] reach much more nerds than other demos, not its spectacularly small file size. [1] ▶ this video

Farbrausch's "debris." shows just how much you can pack into 200k (including the audio, btw). ▶ this video For the webby crowd: "Masagin" features animated, recursive SVGs with antialiasing and motion blur at high rez and high frame rate. link Or, you could download both demos from link and run them on your own PC.
