Open-Source Project 'LAST FRAME' Turns Real-Time AI Video Generation Into a Playable Branching Game
Summary
A new open-source project called 'LAST FRAME' transforms real-time AI video generation into a playable branching game, where every choice triggers a live-rendered video clip and an AI Adjudicator analyzes each final frame to determine health changes, item pickups, and survival outcomes.
Key Points
- A new open-source project called 'LAST FRAME' turns AI-generated video into a playable game, where every shot is rendered in real time by the MiniMax H3 Max video model and whatever appears on screen becomes the canonical outcome for the player.
- Players start with 100 vitality and choose from three pre-filmed branching options each turn, while an AI vision model called the Adjudicator watches every shot's final frame to rule on HP changes, item pickups, and win or death conditions — hesitating lets the world act against you.
- Built on Next.js and powered by fal.ai, the project is open source and self-hostable, requiring only a fal API key, with costs tied to video generation per choice branch and LLM calls per beat.
