The AI drives his game and reports what playtesting finds

The maker of a small game viewer tool had the AI play the game with scripted commands and write playtest reports. One report, from a manifest file the game loaded, documented a crash on exit, a bad default window size, dead inputs, and several rendering bugs.

How it works

  1. Sets up scripted play sessions
  2. The AI plays and observes
  3. Writes structured playtest reports listing crashes and bugs

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent found a crash on exit and dead inputs by playing, not by reading the code.
