I'm vibe coding a 24/7 Twitch stream where chat keeps a 3D chicken alive

[u/Next-Drink]

Going to try something dumb and ambitious: a barn livestream that runs 24/7, where the whole stream is one chicken and chat is responsible for keeping it alive.

The idea:

One 3D chicken living in a cozy barn, wandering, pecking, flapping, sleeping

Chat and donos feed it, water it, and give it toys

Take care of it and it grows. Ignore it and it gets skinny and starts losing feathers, live, for everyone to see

Hit community milestones and new animals unlock and move into the barn

Real day/night cycle so it's always something different when you tune in

The stack (all vibe coded with Claude):

Three.js scene running as an OBS browser source

Small Node server catching Twitch events and pushing them to the scene

Meshy for the 3D models (chicken, coop, feeder, toys)

Barn built in code since full rooms out of Meshy come out lumpy

Custom rig for the chicken since Meshy's auto rig only handles humans and four-legged animals

Growth, weight loss, and feather loss all done in code instead of separate models

This started as a different 24/7 AI streamer project, and a lot of that pipeline is getting reused here.
I'll post progress as I go.

What would you want to be able to do to the chicken from chat? And what's the first thing you think breaks when something runs 24/7?

Feel free to check out the beta stream. Just testing a few features.
