EXPERIENCE BASED GAME DEVELOPMENT AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH

A game development platform operates by: updating a gaming application corresponding to a game based on game play by at least one non-imitating game bot to generate a first updated gaming application corresponding to a first updated game; generating an imitating game bot based on first game telemetry data generated in response to play of the first updated game by actual players; updating the first updated gaming application based on play of the first updated game by the imitating game bot to generate a second updated gaming application corresponding to a second updated game; generating motivation data indicating predicted player motivations based on second game telemetry data generated in response to play of the second updated game; and updating the second updated gaming application based on the motivation data to generate a third updated gaming application corresponding to a third updated game.
