      This template creates detailed game development stories that are immediately actionable by game developers. Each story should focus on a single, implementable feature that contributes to the overall game functionality.

      Before starting, ensure you have access to:

      - Game Design Document (GDD)
      - Game Architecture Document
      - Any existing stories in this epic

      The story should be specific enough that a developer can implement it without requiring additional design decisions.
