Could you add a setting to disable "autoskip"?

#62Love this kind of walking around videos (I watch them in an old VR headset when I cannot fall asleep). I see it uses videos from YouTube, are they collected in a playlist somewhere? :)
This is my favorite channel on this subject https://www.youtube.com/c/rambalac

#63Reminds me a lot of GeoGuessr [0], particularly the videos that top competitors make, such as Tom Davies who goes by the moniker GeoWizard [1]. [0] https://www.geoguessr.com [1] https://www.youtube.com/c/GeoWizard
Also City Guesser [0], which has similar POV video gameplay.

#64This would be super incredible inside a vr headset like quest. But i think the video resolution must be scaled a lot like 4k at least, 8k preferably for it be meaningful. I actually did have an app that was kind of similar and it used to make you exercise in streets of paris, etc in first-person pov but the video resolution was so bad it just didn't work. But i am sure there will be a huge demand for this in vr as it…
This kind of video content in VR is of almost no interest to me as long as it remains 'flat' (2D in wraparound)-- once you've seen videos in true stereoscopic 3D, everything else pales in comparison. That may not be an issue for most people, but I know I'm not the only one. It kinda seems like most of the reason to use a VR headset instead of just a wide monitor in the first place.
I'm sure it's possible to do some kind of software based interpolation/upscaling (not sure what term to use here) to convert 2D to 3D, but I don't know how involved that process would be.

#65Great game! That was really fun!
I would love to have the ability to copy-paste the results of how wrong or right I was after a set amount of games (like wordle)

Glad you like the game and thank you for the source :) I'll try to add them into the game.

Working on it!

#68This is perfect for a distributed team game via Zoom - if you can find a way to facilitate group guessing via mobile phone while the videos are shown on a video conferencing screen then I believe you have a hit on your hands.
Team game...good idea, will think about this.

#69i love the idea. unfortunately probably due to my slow connection i get an extremely low resolution on the video making it very difficult to recognize any details because everything looks blurry. i'd rather have less or slower video but at a higher resolution. 360p at least. 480p would be better. also, please check the browser language. due to my location i get city names in a language i can't read.
Thank you for the feedback! The game now checks browser language and redirects accordingly.

#70This is amazing. I think it'll make a good party game also, especially if the attendees are well-traveled or international. edit: Would be amazing if you added a competitive mode also, where two or more parties would get the same series of videos (randomly generated from a unique URL or something). And see who can get the most points out of 100 or so. Even better of the options are labeled A-D and randomized so group…
Team game is a good idea, will think about this.
