	ability for game creator to simple make a few pre designed choices
		to have a PLAYABLE game within a few minutes to an hour.
	ability to quickly add content to the databases from which the
		games are pulling their content.
	ability to make a story outline that can then pull data from the
		database to complete it.
	ability to score actions so that statistics can be gathered on
		right/wrong, etc.
Ought to have:
	text to speech
	multiple players in the game

Nice to have:
	lot's of backing from corporations with lots of money ;)
