AI agent for game designers
Playtest Feedback Synthesis Agent
A ranked, data-checked list of playtest issues
What it does
After a playtest, teams drown in surveys, recordings and chat comments, and the loudest opinions often win. This agent combines survey answers, session recordings, chat comments and telemetry such as deaths, quit points and time per level. It tags each piece of feedback by system, level and type: bug, confusion, difficulty or fun. It then tests each theme against the data. For example, 'level 3 is too hard' is checked against real death and quit rates. When the data does not back a theme, it looks for supporting recordings or marks it as opinion. It ranks issues by how many players they affect and how severe they are, and compares them with earlier playtests to see whether fixes worked. The designer decides what to change. Edge case: feedback from players far outside the target audience is shown in a separate section.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
