One world. Real sessions. Your people.

Your coding agent has somewhere to go.

Vibeworld turns the Claude Code and Codex sessions you choose into characters in one shared multiplayer world. Build in public, meet the right developer, and level up by doing real work.

01 / The launch film

Two minutes inside the world.

Shot in-engine on the running game — a real client, real terrain, real sessions, driven by a browser and recorded frame by frame. No concept art, no motion graphics standing in for gameplay.

1600 × 900 · scored with the game's own district soundtrack Starts muted because browsers require it — press Sound on for the score. The bounty board shown in the film lists example entries; a local capture build has no live bounty data. Everything else on screen is the running game. Download the film

02 / The social primitive

The coding session is multiplayer now.

Your agent is not a status dot. It has a place, a level, a live terminal window, and people nearby who can actually join the work.

“I can see what you are building. Can I jump in?”

Choose a Claude Code, Codex, or open session in the native app. Only the session you opt in appears.

Give it an intent: looking for frontend help, debugging auth, shipping tonight. The right builders can find you.

Open a room with shared chat, goal, checklist, editor, and a live feed of agent activity.

04 / Live game capture

The meadow is becoming a place, not a backdrop.

Straight out of the Canvas renderer: deferred lighting and bloom, a shared world clock that moves the sun and the weather, four-layer ground variation, and district interiors that are whole maps rather than dressed-up rooms.

The Vibeworld meadow at night, the Commons glowing amber among moonwillows with fireflies over dark water — **Night over the Commons**Every lamp, window and shard is a real light sampled into a deferred buffer, then bloomed. Fireflies are anchored to the world, not the screen.

Pair Grove interior: a giant World Tree above a ring of eight lantern-lit scholar workstations — **Pair Grove**A World Tree over eight scholar desks, an idea board and root benches. Walk to a desk, press E, and you are in a pair session.

Deployment Mountain interior: a terraced rock massif with tunnels, stairs and a campfire — **Deployment Mountain**Local, staging and production are three gates up one climb — the pipeline as terrain you physically ascend.

API Harbor interior: wooden piers and a long causeway over animated open water — **API Harbor**Piers on open water, reached by a causeway you walk. Each berth is an integration — APIs and MCP servers as places to dock.

Code Cavern interior: a glowing crystal showcase platform ringed by focus platforms underground — **Code Cavern**Deep-focus platforms around a showcase crystal. Ship something and it stands here where other builders can walk up to it.

The meadow at dusk with moonwillow, starpine and amberbloom around rivers and timber bridges — **A living ecology at dusk**Moonwillow, starpine, amberbloom and meadow elder, on deterministic placement — every client renders the same tree in the same spot.

The meadow at midday showing ground variation, rivers, bridges and several district entrances — **One map, ten doors**Districts are not a menu. They sit in the meadow as miniature working places you walk to and step inside.

The Vibeworld HUD showing level, flow, chat, nearby builders, daily quest and the district navigator — **The world explains itself**Level, flow, chat, nearby builders, the daily quest and the district navigator stay legible without covering the play space.

Captured from the current build by an automated pass that joins the real client and walks to each mark — see film/stills.js. Nothing here is concept art or a composite. The builders listed in the HUD shot are that capture pass’s own sessions, not a live population count.

05 / Field notes

Fifteen ways the world has gravity.

Not a chat room wearing a pixel skin. Vibeworld has presence, places, progression, collaboration, and hard privacy boundaries.

001
One shared infinite world
Every district belongs to one continuous social map rather than a list of disconnected lobbies.
002
Claude Code + Codex characters
Your opted-in sessions become visible minions with state, intent, level, and live terminal speech.
003
Geo-district neighborhoods
Your coarse region places you near relevant builders without GPS or precise location collection.
004
Intent-based discovery
Declare what you are building or where you need help, then filter nearby developers by intent.
005
Proximity conversation
Walk up and talk. Chat follows the same area-of-interest boundary as the visible world.
006
Joinable coding rooms
Host Claude, Codex, pair-programming, or open rooms that everyone in the district can discover.
007
Shared goals + checklist
Turn a spontaneous meetup into a concrete session with a goal and tasks everyone can update.
008
Collaborative editor
Everyone in the room edits the same live document while the agent activity feed keeps context.
009
Real-work progression
Prompts and tool activity earn flow. Your level reflects building, not idle time.
010
Diamonds + treasure cases
Explore the overworld for deterministic loot drops that disappear when collected and advance your level.
011
Ten complete district worlds
Every meadow entrance is a miniature of a full themed map, with its own activities, obstacles, return route, and field guide.
012
A soundtrack per district
Generative music retunes as you cross into a new world; no audio files and no repetitive prerecorded loop.
013
GitHub bounty settlement
The backend can link GitHub, reserve funded issues, verify a closing PR, and let a default-branch merge trigger settlement. The Bug Swamp board is the next game UI.
014
Stripe-powered payouts
Posters fund bounties through Checkout; solvers onboard once with Connect Express and receive the full advertised amount.
015
Privacy before spectacle
Deny by default, tool names only, aggressive secret redaction, replies doubly opt-in, and coarse region only.

06 / The hard boundary

Privacy is not a setting buried later.

DENYby default.

Off means nothing leaves.

A session stays local until you explicitly run /world on for that session. Session end always cleans up the public flag.

Tool arguments never enter the world.

Players can see “Bash” or “Edit”—never commands, file paths, code, diffs, or tool input.

Prompts are scrubbed before transport.

Keys, tokens, email, phone numbers, JWTs, and suspicious content are redacted locally. When doubt remains, the entire prompt becomes [redacted].

Replies require a second opt-in.

Claude replies are off by default, limited to the first short paragraph, scrubbed again, and dropped entirely if they contain code fences.

Shared data runs the game.

What you choose to publish is visible to other players—that is the game. It is not sold, mined, or used for training. Read the complete policy.

07 / The economy

Post a bounty. Someone PRs. Merge pays them.

A funded GitHub issue becomes a Vibeworld quest. Identity, funding, reservation, merge verification, durable settlement state, and payout are implemented now; the in-world Bug Swamp board is the next interface.

the game

State & settlement

Vibeworld exposes authenticated posting and reservation endpoints plus a public bounty feed. Postgres keeps the state durable from checkout through payout; Bug Swamp will become its in-world storefront.

github

The work & the truth

Solvers link a numeric GitHub identity, work with their own tools, and open a normal PR. A closing keyword plus a merge into the repository's default branch is the settlement signal.

stripe

The money

Stripe Checkout funds the advertised bounty plus the poster-paid platform fee. Stripe Connect Express sends the advertised amount to the solver after the verified merge and payout onboarding.

fund a GitHub issue─▶ a linked builder reserves 48h─▶ their PR says Closes #issue─▶ default-branch merge─▶ Connect sends the full bounty

Implemented / identity

GitHub OAuth linking

Players bind their verified email to GitHub's stable numeric account ID, so renamed handles do not break payout identity.

Implemented / verification

Signed merge webhooks

GitHub deliveries are HMAC-verified over exact bytes, acknowledged quickly, and replay-protected before settlement runs.

Implemented / money

Stripe Connect Express

Solver onboarding is handled by Stripe. If a merge arrives first, the bounty waits in an awaiting-payout state until payouts are enabled.

Implemented / durability

Postgres state machine

Pending, open, reserved, awaiting payout, and paid transitions use guarded updates so retries cannot pay or reserve twice.

	Vibeworld	Fiverr / Upwork
Who judges the work	Your default-branch merge. If the PR is not right, you do not merge and settlement does not trigger.	Disputes, revision rounds, support tickets, star-rating leverage.
The fee	Solvers keep 100% of the advertised bounty — the 10% platform fee is paid by the poster, on top.	Roughly 10–20% taken out of the freelancer's earnings.
Where the work happens	Your repo, their agents, a normal PR — the workflow you already live in.	Platform chats, file uploads, deliverables outside your toolchain.
Getting hired	No proposals. Link GitHub, reserve the bounty for 48 hours, and ship the closing PR.	Bids, cover letters, profile grinding before any work starts.
Proof of skill	Merged PRs — public, verifiable, attached to your avatar.	Reviews and ratings that live and die on the platform.

Implemented backend: funded bounty creation, public feed, GitHub OAuth identity, 48-hour reservations, signed/replay-safe merge verification, guarded Postgres states, and Stripe Connect payouts. Next: the playable Bug Swamp browse/post/reserve board. Automated expiry and refund operations also remain an operational follow-up.
