#122Not much to say other than this is fun and awesome! Haven’t taken a detailed look at all, but in surface level, very enjoyable!

#124Fantastic fun! One nit is recent events (1980+) will fall into an uncanny valley.
Glad you liked it! And yeah true.

#125Great idea, the scroll bar for the year is a bit difficult to use in PC.
Thanks, and appreciate the feedback!

#126I guess the idea is cool, but this is more like "try and guess which prompt generated this slop". The thing that makes Geoguessr cool is that it drops you into a real place. This is like if Geoguessr showed you the output from "Midjourney, show me China".
I guess you could see it that way. The is no footage from most of history, so AI gives us a new way to interact with those events in the past. But it will never be perfect, because we'll never have the ground truth to compare it to.

#127creative use of Generative AI. There will be more games powered by AI.

#128> The videos aren’t always historically accurate to the last detail
Boy is that overselling it. And you don't really need to, this is cool even though there's a ton of AI jank.

#129To offer a non-AI alternative but a similar game concept, I highly recommend TimeGuesser: https://timeguessr.com/.
You are shown historical photos (from the past 100 years, even up to the past year) and need to guess the location on a map and the year of the image. Extremely fun and varied gameplay because of the varied events the photos capture (some mundane while others more recognizable).

#130I was off by little both in time as in space. But when I was about to drag the map it triggered the go back on my Android phone (gestures). Maybe prevent default to avoid that?
