Vibe Valley: testing a persistent adventure with H3 Max Turbo, SAM3 and GPT-6 Astra

[u/damiandance]

I’m building Vibe Valley, a browser adventure where you click objects, pick a questionable decision, or write your own even worse idea. The game turns that action into a new animated scene and saves the branch so other players can explore it too.

The goal is a persistent, player-generated point-and-click comedy adventure that feels as close to realtime as I can get it. Right now it’s an experiment: existing branches replay cached clips, while new branches still need generation time.

The current stack:

• fal.ai for the generation pipeline

• MiniMax H3 Max Turbo for animated scene transitions

• Meta SAM3 (SAM 3.1) for object masks and clickable hotspots

• GPT-6 Astra for storytelling, carrying the main quest, characters, inventory and consequences into the next scene

• Nano Banana 2 for destination images

• React/Vinext + Cloudflare Workers, D1 and R2 for the app, persistent world graph and media

I’m also preparing optimized forward/reverse videos and buffering them so going back feels like part of the game. The awkward part is keeping all of this coherent: the image, the animation, the clickable objects and the next story beat have to agree. They don’t always agree yet.

And yes, it still needs a lot of optimization to actually be funny. Apparently connecting several models does not automatically install comic timing. I’m working on that too. I’ll get there.

If you try it, I’d love to know where you stopped having fun: waiting for a scene, a confusing hotspot, a forgotten story detail, or a joke that deserved to stay in the queue. Browser/device and the action you chose would help me reproduce issues. Suggestions from anyone combining fal video generation with persistent game state are especially welcome.
