Because you're using a fucking engine/framework. If you wrote your game in C++ with OpenGL and literally nothing else I'm sure you could get it down to under 256k.

>>56573985
You dont have to fit textures into a 4-16KB cache space like 90s consoles did. You dont compress, optimize, or just flat out use crappy looking tiny images the way they had to back then.

Look up the history of making Crash Bandicoot some time.

>>56573985
because you're using a hundred fucking libraries you don't need

>>56573985
They're using like 16x16 texture maps on the n64 with like 4 colors each doing some kind of block compression with a color lookup. I bet the hearts are just 1 bit bitmaps, same with the map. Your texture maps for your shitty game are probably like 1024x1024 RGBA8 format with no compression.

Limit devs to a specified size and they _might_ be more efficient.

>>56573985
You don't know what you're doing.

I've been working on a unity game for nearly a year and it's still under 15MB.

>>56574183
It'll look like shit tho. Zelda looked ok cause the tube TV blurred the shit out of everything.

>>56574165
Reminds me Unreal Tournament for PS2 have nothing but grayscale and blues because they compress the best, then you bring in the real colors with a palette file.

>>56573985
because they knew how to program and optimize back then.
Today you just take an engine and follow tutorials and you're good to go with you're crappy 2GB 2D tetris-like game

>>56573985
>How is this even possible? What went wrong on modern game development? What language was N64 games programmed on?
When you're programming for one platform, it's possible to optimise to the extreme because you aren't bothered about portability.

>>56574188
post pics of you're gaymen, lad.

emulators have retroactively made your memories of the game better, go play it on a real N64 on anything that isn't an LCD.
>320 x 200

99% of the screenshots of 64 games on the internet after 2004 are with emulators

games around that time got away with it by using a cartoony style, half the shit in the game is gouraud, it's one of the most glitchiest engines ever made

>>56573985
Those games were made small because they had to be. The N64 has a tiny fraction of the memory our cell phones had. They removed every unessential bit of code.

Mostly it was about the textures. When you are ok with blurry as fuck compressed textures you can make your game very tiny.

Even today textures make up the majority of disk space used by games.

>>56573985
Back then they were trained to get the most out of what little resources they had. Now resources are abundant so the languages and training are higher level to make it easier to program.
You can shit out a game faster, so more profits I guess.

>>56574236
>99% of the screenshots of 64 games on the internet after 2004 are with emulators

k

Until the recent era, video game development has been about absolute efficiency and wringing out every last drop of performance that the hardware can provide. For instance, up until somewhere around the SNES, most games were still written in assembly and today most games requiring/aspiring to high performance are written in low-level (shh, you know what I mean) languages like C++.

Modern "development" not written (nearly) from the ground up like these older games is going to be bloated by comparison. If it's a 2d shooter, then you can forego efficiency on modern hardware, unless it bothers you or your playerbase. If that's the case, learn C++ and start over.

If your game is good many people will circlejerk over it.
Mount and Blade is sold in millions, although it doesn't have any characters or even story.

Those games made before 2010. After 2010 it's just character circlejerking. Most people who buy it play it one time, see the characters, then go straight on the internet and masturbate over them. Everything else gets 1000-2000 sales max.

Software in general is more bloated because it can afford to be. Computers have more RAM, more disk space and more CPU cycles than they'll ever need. Not taking time to optimize reduces development time and doesn't affect the final product's quality.

Storage capacity increased.

Almost all AAA game development is centered around the target media size. In the N64 days, your game had to fit on a single N64 cartridge. In the DVD days, your game had to fit on a DVD. In the current age, your game has to fit on a Blu-ray, so you have easily 50 GB of budget or so to work with. Pissing away 50 MB on an engine is nothing.

You need to take off your rose-tinted glasses if you honestly believe that this is true. Stop ignoring the games that don't support your hypothesis, maybe.

>>56573985
Lol no. Developers got lazy, bosses don't care as long as the product is out to the retards that preorder it whether it works or not. Size doesn't matter. Why would they care how much space a game takes. These days everything is measured in GB.

Also, I find it hilarious that even with all the space and power available, studios can't seem to make a decent game. Even Bethesda fucking sucks because almost all of their games have shitty bugs.

Thank God for Nintendo. They seem to be the only ones who still care for proper game design

>>56573985
Libraries. Try using winapi only, your binaries will be 5KB+ resources.

>>56573985
I don't know about this game but I think Nintendo often used Assembly to program their games in the past

>>56577368
No shit devs used assembly like niggers smoke crack when their hardware budget was a hundredth of what the cheapest, slowest current consumer hardware is capable of.
Assembly is only used in the most critical execution paths now simply because program sizes have gone exponential and it's fiscally unviable to hand code assembly for large programs. Do a thousand lines yourself then extrapolate what it would take for a 10 man team to do a few million.

Pic related is my first game written in C++ - if I was to re-do it now I could do a much better job, but the binary is a couple megs including the statically linked libraries.

but smaller programs can run better.

>>56573985
Is that even a problem nowadays?
AFAIK, console programming is mainly done in that particular processor's ASM dialect or C. Some went overboard like Naughty Dog programming their games in LISP.
But C/ASM is the real reason why you could cram all that code in a tiny executable.

>>56575224
>wew lad, what about the textures?
Hasn't been answered yet, the textures are simply generated by mathematical formulation. Most textures are just patterns or noise with some simple filter added to it.

Pic related is a simple example: It's just four:
1. A gradient from lower right to upper left
2. brighten a square area inside the square
3. add white noise
4. apply blur filter
5. apply some generic relief filter to the picture
6. on a new layer, noise, blur, threshold, add that to the red channel to get the stains

Each of those are just a few lines of code, even in C. Its not hard at all. You can't do any custom stuff like that, but it's good enough when your goal is to reduce the file size (at the cost of computation time of course).

he didn't say anything about textures, and you can run N64 games in an emulator at any resolution you like, even with antialiasing and other nice things on top

of course the textures will still be tiny and blurry, but you'll be able to see more detail at a distance due to the higher resolution, not to mention emulators also make it possible to replace the textures with nicer ones, like in >>56585397

Wouldn't exactly call them "butchered", but the soundtracks were just the first parts looped over and over. Results of the small, default-sized N64 cartridges, and devs not using latest compression technologies.

Super Mario Bros 3 was 384kb. About one third of one megabyte. Think for a minute about how much CONTENT was in that game, how many unique levels, enemies, power-ups, control gimmicks. The first time you played it you would still be discovering things you'd never seen before 20 hours in.

>Results of the small, default-sized N64 cartridges
not to mention that there were cost benefits to making n64 games as small as possible, bigger carts meant bigger/more roms which meant more-expensive-to-produce carts, which cuts into profits

where on the playstation you had a 650M cd. you could shove a shitton of MJPEG video and XA audio as you like on it, as so long as it was under 650M, it cost you no more than a game that weighs a couple megs
if you look into ps1 iso's you'll often find the game itself, minus videos/xa audio/cd-audio is often well under 50 megs

i like how every fountain has their own unique and vaguely erotic camera movement around the great fairy
i'm sure whoever wrote the camera movement was trying their best

-- oh yea, not to mention cd's in general were cheaper to produce, so even fuckhuge 4-disc (~2600M!) games probably cost less in materials than your average 16M n64 cart

You need to watch a 4k. But you never saw one.

Have a look at some of these:

Kind of annoying since there was no justifiable reason for a 4-disc game aside from "We crammed it with shitty FMV or CGI movies that will be vaguely amateurish and annoying the first time you see them and you'll skip them every time after that"

/v/ never talks about this shit. /vr/, even.

>AFAIK, console programming is mainly done in that particular processor's ASM dialect or C

It was C at the time, then they switched to sepples for the gamecube.
Everything nowadays is sepples.

>>56586620
>im projecting because im too stupid to understand any of this

>>56586619
hey, at the time FMV's were IN

sure, the game itself minus the videos was probably on each disc individually (as typically multi-disc games were RPG's, where revisiting areas was common, and often only a select few areas were not re-visitable, due to story development)
but FMV's were cool, and /possible/. so they were used

and it's not like this isn't still done a lot today, just nowadays it's often done in-engine, as graphics have gotten good enough to justify it, and it allows for more flexibility in what is seen, as well as seamless transitioning between gameplay and animation

Portability and abstraction and all that bullshit. If you want something fast it has to be optimized for the specific hardware it's designed for, and that hardware's going to be obsolete soon so go ahead and hardcode things. Don't bloat your code with useless flexibility. It's going to run on actual transistors, not magical mathematics fairies. All software is embedded software.

>>56573985
it's certainly possible to make small games still
just depends on how much effort you want to put into reducing something you probably have a lot of

nowadays nobody cares if you use a few functions of a large library and just ship the whole thing, or use music in a streamed format like vorbis when you could have produced similar sound with a far smaller s3m file, or use gigantic textures which half your audience will turn down to run the game better on their shitboxes, or include fancy HD video intros and cutscenes everyone will skip after the first play, if that

if you read into how people made old games, you'll find they're always chock-full of hacks and corner cuts to shave bits and bytes off of every little detail

ITT: really retarded /v/tards

>>56586965
>similar sound with a far smaller s3m file
You've probably got a core idling, so why not dedicate it to a kickass softsynth? Bring back FM synthesis!

>>56574257
It's true

>>56589208
no fucking shit

how the fuck are you going to get your N64 to take a screenshot, and then get that file onto your computer to post to the internet

>>56574065
Use "C" instead of the bloated pile of horse shit called CPOOPOO and it'll go faster too.

>>56586430
Holy shit j spit my drink our and hit NY dog

/thread

I mean, there's a lot of shit that's in modern dev that makes it bigger, but i mean frameworks don't help. but it also shouldn't be 50MB

>>56574915
90% of your problem is your assets... Compress, make use of shit like fonts\sprite fonts, use small assets and scale it up and all that... there's a lot you can easily do

Keep in reminder you have nothing but space so you feel like you can waste it, an N64 had to use shitty textures because no (V)RAM

>>56574262

that game looks nice but is probably a few hours of low-tier gameplay

- N64 games are in C89/ANSI C (at least the early ones AFAIK)
- native resolution is usually 320x240 but some games are in 640x480
- texture cache is 4KB so max texture size is anywhere from 64x64 for 8-bit to 32x32 for 32-bit color
- all the music is MIDI using custom samples

there's a lot of shit modern devs take for granted other than size/performance limitations. all textures and models are defined as static arrays within .c files that follow some special syntax that isn't immediately obvious. when i started writing a game i spent a week or two just on creating converters for BMP and OBJ to this format. you also have to write your own physics engine so if you're retarded (like me) you'll probably give up on it a month in. still was cool getting it to run on a real N64 though.

here's some source code. i don't know what most of it does.

>>56574915
Hey thats cool, you should consider reversing the ship sprite vertically when you press ">".
Would be easy and might look cool.

>>56574915
Also i can see to much detail in the pictures, compress them down.
They will look like ass but thats how to reduce size.
Also transparency is a whore.

>>56574262
fuck bruh I need this game.

>>56574915
are you the douche that created scribblnauts?

>muh scene

>>56575166
hey man you have the answer

How many people actually look at file sizes and memory consumption when they play their games

Your cookie clicker clone could take up 300kb or 3 gb of ram and 95% people won't notice, as long as they have idle ram left over so their machine doesn't slow down because of you
