| contents | Existing multi-agent video generation systems use LLM agents to orchestrate neural video generators, producing visually impressive but semantically unreliable outputs with no ground truth annotations. We present an agentic system that inverts this paradigm: instead of generating pixels, the LLM constructs a formal Graph of Events in Space and Time (GEST) -- a structured specification of actors, actions, objects, and temporal constraints -- which is then executed deterministically in a 3D game engine. A staged LLM refinement pipeline fails entirely at this task (0 of 50 attempts produce an executable specification), motivating a fundamentally different architecture based on a separation of concerns: the LLM handles narrative planning through natural language reasoning, while a programmatic state backend enforces all simulator constraints through validated tool calls, guaranteeing that every generated specification is executable by construction. The system uses a hierarchical two-agent architecture -- a Director that plans the story and a Scene Builder that constructs individual scenes through a round-based state machine -- with dedicated Relation Subagents that populate the logical and semantic edge types of the GEST formalism that procedural generation leaves empty, making this the first approach to exercise the full expressive capacity of the representation. We evaluate in two stages: autonomous generation against procedural baselines via a 3-model LLM jury, where agentic narratives win 79% of text and 74% of video comparisons; and seeded generation where the same text is given to our system, VEO 3.1, and WAN 2.2, with human annotations showing engine-generated videos substantially outperform neural generators on physical validity (58% vs 25% and 20%) and semantic alignment (3.75/5 vs 2.33 and 1.50). |
