A Demonstration of ScriptEase Interruptible and Resumable Behaviors for CRPGs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intelligent non-player characters that exhibit realistic ambient behaviors produce more captivating and immersive stories for the player. However, the creation of nonrepetitive and entertaining behaviors is challenging, since it involves writing complex custom scripting code for thousands of characters in a common game adventure. This demonstration describes the generation of motivational behavior scripts using generative behavior patterns with ScriptEase. We demonstrate interruptible and resumable motivational ambient and latent behaviors for a tavern scene in a custom Neverwinter Nights game module.

An Architecture for Game Behavior AI: Behavior Multi-Queues
We describe an AI behavior architecture that supports responsive collaborative interruptible and resumable behaviors using behavior queues. This architecture wraps sets of behaviors into roles, which provide a simple efficient mechanism for encapsulating behaviors into components that can change dynamically, based on environmental criteria. To illustrate the viability of this architecture in a ...
متن کاملA Demonstration of ScriptEase Ambient and PC-Interactive Behavior Generation for Computer Role-Playing Games
ScriptEase is a visual tool that enables game designers to create complex interactive stories for computer role-playing games, without programming. In particular, ScriptEase automatically generates the scripting code for ambient and PC-interactive non-player character (NPC) behaviors from a set of behavior patterns. Without ScriptEase, a game designer would have to write scripting code manually...

ScriptEase is a tool that allows authors with no programming experience to create interactive stories for computer role-playing games. Instead of writing scripting code manually, game authors select design patterns that encapsulate frequent game scenarios, creating stories at a higher level of abstraction and being shielded from the underlying scripting language. ScriptEase has been extended to...

ScriptEase is a publicly-available visual tool that enables game designers to easily create complex interactive stories for computer role-playing games (CRPGs), without programming. In particular, ScriptEase facilitates the automatic generation of scripting code for ambient behaviors of the numerous non-player characters (NPCs) that populate the CRPG world. ScriptEase generates this scripting c...
متن کاملA Demonstration of ScriptEase Motivational Ambient and Latent Behaviors for Computer RPGs
This demonstration describes the generation of ambient and latent NPC behavior scripts using generative behavior patterns with ScriptEase. Our behavior model supports behavior roles, a powerful mechanism that allows an NPC to change behavior sets during the story. Our motivation model for selecting ambient behaviors generates more realistic NPC behaviors and our novel collaboration protocol sim...
