Open-source local AI harness ships a full text-adventure game engine running on one model

Developer rosie254 released a new module for their GPL3 open-source local AI harness openlumara: a full-fledged text adventure game engine that runs as a WebUI module, not a separate program. The demo runs fully locally on a single model (Gemma4 26B) via one llama.cpp endpoint — no multi-API tricks. Image generation uses moss-image (thanks to a Strix Halo); smaller hardware can use z-image turbo at Q4 instead.

The engine supports asset packs containing music, sound effects, images, weather effects (CSS/JS/GLSL shaders), skies, loading screens, text flourishes and more, all user-creatable. The AI sees the asset pack files and forms adventures around them, with no prompt dictating the story — that's up to the user. Recommended alongside openlumara's characters module. The module took nearly a week to build and is open-sourced on GitHub.
