As an Indian, The irony wasn't lost on me when I placed the marker on West Indies (Caribbean islands) when the actual Spot was East India.

#32What a fun idea :)

#33Really fun, well executed. I like :-)

#34The super anachronistic output makes this really difficult. One of the examples was the battle in the war of the roses but all the imagery suggests over a hundred years later.
Apparently the song dynasty had billowing smoke stacks from the late 19th century. But overall the game is cool and fun.

#36I love the idea, but GenAI isn't really up to it. The images are awful - like a Hammer Horror/Netflix-does-history vibe, but it's strangely addictive!

#37I could imagine this to become a pastime for curious kids, and parents having nothing against them spending time on it. It still needs development and quality improvements, but that is a direction I could imagine it taking.

#38This is truly remarkable- one of the best use cases for text-to-video products! Lots of fun with learning aspect

#39My first reaction is that the scoring is too harsh. I got within 50 years and 100 km and the resulting score is 7,406 / 10,000.
I got within 15 years and 200 km but got 7,275 / 10,000. If the expectation is to absolutely nail it, I can hardly imagine who is it for.
My hope is that one day there is a Rainbolt for Time Portal. For someone like that to exist, the game has to be hard. That said, I agree the scoring could definitely use some improvement!

#40This is awesome! Definitely some more obscure historical events in there. Agree that the scoring is a bit harsh, especially since the clips are, let’s say, somewhat impressionistic. Excellent idea and can’t wait for the next version.
Thank you!
