This looks like those youtube shorts I've been seeing. Did you guys create those?
Don't think so, which shorts are you talking about?

#92Interesting concept, but the use of AI art is personally extremely off-putting. Maybe it works for people who like having everything filtered through a modern cinematic cgi filter. In this case, sure, it is a neat tool for seeing how a hollywood studio might have imagined events of the past to look like. At least you admit upfront here that they are "fantastical imaginations" of historical events, but maybe you shoul…
I understand if you don't like AI art. If Time Portal inspires anyone to learn more about history, I will be happy.

#94As somewhat of an AI-generated image hater, I had a lot more fun with this than I was expecting to. Nice work :-)

I really enjoy time guessr! Playing it on the TV with family is fun too.

#96I have been building a kind-of geography guessing game in a similar vein. Mine has a solo mode and a party-game mode and doesn't use any AI. I'd love to hear some feedback.

#98> The videos aren’t always historically accurate to the last detail Are they ever? > They might incorporate elements of folklore or have details from popular beliefs about the way things looked rather than the latest academic research on how they looked Like the one of the age of castles man loading an American civil war cannon by holding another cannon up to it: https://www.eggnog.ai/timeportal/37e02fea-bbb2-4b88-ae…
Still more accurate most of the time than a lot of historical video games at least. I got a trippy one that was supposed to be about Da Vinci painting the Last Supper, but the people were moving, so I thought it was supposed to be the actual supper: https://www.eggnog.ai/timeportal/56571c14-8f13-48ba-b60f-d82...

This game is much closer to Trivial Pursuit than it is Assassin's Creed. The importance of accuracy depends on the type of game and when the point of the game is specifically testing the player's knowledge, a lack of accuracy is game-breaking.

#99This is awesome, and I'm not very good at it :-)

#100This is cool, but I'm not sure some of the hints are not more red herrings than anything else. Because AI sort of blends things, the prompt needs to be spot on or, for example, India starts looking like any part of the middle east. Traditional China looks like Japan, etc. Also some of the temporal clues were very good, some were 'wtf'. I also laughed at some of the hallucination I witnessed. Like a group of people st…
Thanks for the feedback and the ideas! Is your idea about showing the ages just to make it a bit easier if you don't know exactly when different ages started and ended?
Yeah slightly easier and also educative if you think about it.
It also dresses up the timeline so that the game gets its own identity.
