Really cool stuff

#73Honest opinion: Really charming on first look, but nothing where you can get lost in the details, because once you look closer, the soullessness of the generated imagery comes through. So I spent about 5 minutes looking at it, then moved on, and likely won't ever go back there. With other things, like Floor796 that other people pointed out, I can spend so much time looking at all the labor of love that went in there,…
Ouch, this seems unnecessarily harsh for a side project made for fun. This might be acceptable if this was a low effort single prompt to an AI but it’s pretty clear from the write up that that is far from the case. FWIW I thought this was really cool.

woahhh, these are so beautiful!
I haven't used it but Vexcel makes oblique imagery available. They use planes I believe to get multiple passes of each are they image and from various angles. Then they combine it and make the maps available.

For context, Floor796: https://floor796.com/
Note that clicking the characters shows extra information.
Protip, visit About -> FAQ; there are many interesting questions like “What interactive elements are there?”.
