Create Game Development Story Task
Purpose
Create detailed, actionable game development stories that enable AI developers to implement specific game features without requiring additional design decisions.
When to Use
- Breaking down game epics into implementable stories
- Converting GDD features into development tasks
- Preparing work for game developers
- Ensuring clear handoffs from design to development
Prerequisites
Before creating stories, ensure you have:
- Completed Game Design Document (GDD)
- Game Architecture Document
- Epic definition this story belongs to
- Clear understanding of the specific game feature
Process
1. Story Identification
Review Epic Context:
- Understand the epic's overall goal
- Identify specific features that need implementation
- Review any existing stories in the epic
- Ensure no duplicate work
Feature Analysis:
- Reference specific GDD sections
- Understand player experience goals
- Identify technical complexity
- Estimate implementation scope
2. Story Scoping
Single Responsibility:
- Focus on one specific game feature
- Ensure story is completable in 1-3 days
- Break down complex features into multiple stories
- Maintain clear boundaries with other stories
Implementation Clarity:
- Define exactly what needs to be built
- Specify all technical requirements
- Include all necessary integration points
- Provide clear success criteria
3. Template Execution
Load Template:
Use {root}/templates/game-story-tmpl.md following all embedded LLM instructions
Key Focus Areas:
- Clear, actionable description
- Specific acceptance criteria
- Detailed technical specifications
- Complete implementation task list
- Comprehensive testing requirements
4. Story Validation
Technical Review:
- Verify all technical specifications are complete
- Ensure integration points are clearly defined
- Confirm file paths match architecture
- Validate TypeScript interfaces and classes
Game Design Alignment:
- Confirm story implements GDD requirements
- Verify player experience goals are met
- Check balance parameters are included
- Ensure game mechanics are correctly interpreted
Implementation Readiness:
- All dependencies identified
- Assets requirements specified
- Testing criteria defined
- Definition of Done complete
5. Quality Assurance
Apply Checklist:
Execute {root}/checklists/game-story-dod-checklist.md against completed story
Story Criteria:
- Story is immediately actionable
- No design decisions left to developer
- Technical requirements are complete
- Testing requirements are comprehensive
- Performance requirements are specified
6. Story Refinement
Developer Perspective:
- Can a developer start implementation immediately?
- Are all technical questions answered?
- Is the scope appropriate for the estimated points?
- Are all dependencies clearly identified?
Iterative Improvement:
- Address any gaps or ambiguities
- Clarify complex technical requirements
- Ensure story fits within epic scope
- Verify story points estimation
Story Elements Checklist
Required Sections
- Clear, specific description
- Complete acceptance criteria (functional, technical, game design)
- Detailed technical specifications
- File creation/modification list
- TypeScript interfaces and classes
- Integration point specifications
- Ordered implementation tasks
- Comprehensive testing requirements
- Performance criteria
- Dependencies clearly identified
- Definition of Done checklist
Game-Specific Requirements
- GDD section references
- Game mechanic implementation details
- Player experience goals
- Balance parameters
- Phaser 3 specific requirements
- Performance targets (60 FPS)
- Cross-platform considerations
Technical Quality
- TypeScript strict mode compliance
- Architecture document alignment
- Code organization follows standards
- Error handling requirements
- Memory management considerations
- Testing strategy defined
Common Pitfalls
Scope Issues:
- Story too large (break into multiple stories)
- Story too vague (add specific requirements)
- Missing dependencies (identify all prerequisites)
- Unclear boundaries (define what's in/out of scope)
Technical Issues:
- Missing integration details
- Incomplete technical specifications
- Undefined interfaces or classes
- Missing performance requirements
Game Design Issues:
- Not referencing GDD properly
- Missing player experience context
- Unclear game mechanic implementation
- Missing balance parameters
Success Criteria
Story Readiness:
- Developer can start implementation immediately
- No additional design decisions required
- All technical questions answered
- Testing strategy is complete
- Performance requirements are clear
- Story fits within epic scope
Quality Validation:
- Game story DOD checklist passes
- Architecture alignment confirmed
- GDD requirements covered
- Implementation tasks are ordered and specific
- Dependencies are complete and accurate
Handoff Protocol
To Game Developer:
- Provide story document
- Confirm GDD and architecture access
- Verify all dependencies are met
- Answer any clarification questions
- Establish check-in schedule
Story Status Updates:
- Draft → Ready for Development
- In Development → Code Review
- Code Review → Testing
- Testing → Done
This task ensures game development stories are immediately actionable and enable efficient AI-driven development of game features.
