    pains:
    • Must integrate character behavior with a running game and its state
    • Needs to test latency, reliability and content controls before release
  • title: Game producer
    pains:
    • Must justify novel NPC interactions against integration and QA costs
    • Needs evidence that a playable prototype improves the user experience
