It would’ve been cool to collect actual images from history. I’m sure there are 1000s of public domain images that could be used.
The videos are all created with AI. It’s a pipeline of Flux (images), Kling (video), and mmaudio (audio). The videos aren’t always historically accurate to the last detail. 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.
I’m thinking a lot about how to make the game more interactive. One thing that makes Geoguessr so fun for me is that you can move infinitely and always find more details to help you pinpoint the location. I want Time Portal to have a similar quality. I have a few ideas to try soon that will hopefully make the game more interactive and infinite.

What’s the point? You’re just guessing at the prompt used to generate the photo.
That might be more interesting, actually. AI photo game where you need to guess the prompt.
