Agentic Game Development as a Verifiable Trajectory Data Engine for Scaling World Models
TLDR
Proposes RLHEV, using game development with engine and human verification as a verifiable trajectory data engine to scale world models, avoiding fuzzy proxies.
Reasoning
The paper presents a compelling conceptual argument for using game engines as reward environments for world model training. However, it lacks experimental validation, benchmarks, or datasets, making it a position/proposal paper rather than an empirical study.

Innovations
- Argues that scaling world models requires a recursive data engine with grounded reward signals, not just more crawled video and compute.
- Positions game development as a missing reward environment for spatial world models, where game-engine scenes are executable world specifications enabling dense verification (collision, physics, navigability, bounded playability).
- Proposes Reinforcement Learning with Human-Engine Verification (RLHEV), a post-training paradigm combining dense engine signals with implicit human acceptance feedback from development.
Methodology
The paper proposes RLHEV as a conceptual post-training paradigm for spatial world models. It uses agentic game development trajectories as data, with a game engine providing dense executable checks such as collision, physics, navigability, and bounded playability, while implicit human acceptance during development provides a global verification signal.
