I redownloaded Stardew Valley last night and was amazed to find it's still less than a Gigabyte.

I know it's not the same as a hyperrealistic 3D game, but I'm still amazed at how much stuff he keeps adding, but it hasn't even scratched a GB.

Pixel art is very space efficient. Thats how pixel art originally came about, back when computers/consoles/cabinets didn't have memory for bigger textures, or the capability to even display the full resolution and colour palette of the monitor/tv within the time of one frame.

Hehe yeah, the whole game is the size of one objects collection of textures in some other games.
