PCG-Based Game Design Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
People enjoy encounters with generative software, but rarely are they encouraged to interact with, understand or engage with it. In this paper we define the term PCG-based game, and explain how this concept follows on from the idea of an AI-based game. We look at existing examples of games which foreground their AI, put forward a methodology for designing PCG-based games, describe some example case study designs for PCG-based games, and describe lessons learned during this process of sketching and developing ideas.

Procedural Content Generation: Goals, Challenges and Actionable Steps
This chapter discusses the challenges and opportunities of procedural content generation (PCG) in games. It starts with defining three grand goals of PCG, namely multi-level multi-content PCG, PCG-based game design and generating complete games. The way these goals are defined, they are not feasible with current technology. Therefore we identify nine challenges for PCG research. Work towards me...
متن کاملThe Future of Procedural Content Generation in Games
The future of procedural content generation (PCG) lies beyond the dominant motivations of “replayability” and creating large environments for players to explore. This paper explores both the past and potential future for PCG, identifying five major lenses through which we can view PCG and its role in a game: data vs. process intensiveness, the interactive extent of the content, who has control ...
متن کاملMulti-Level Evolution of Shooter Levels
This paper introduces a search-based generative process for first person shooter levels. Genetic algorithms evolve the level’s architecture and the placement of powerups and player spawnpoints, generating levels with one floor or two floors. The evaluation of generated levels combines metrics collected from simulations of artificial agents competing in the level and theory-based heuristics targ...
متن کاملLearning Constructive Primitives for Online Level Generation and Real-time Content Adaptation in Super Mario Bros
Procedural content generation (PCG) is of great interest to game design and development as it generates game content automatically. Motivated by the recent learning-based PCG framework and other existing PCG works, we propose an alternative approach to online content generation and adaptation in Super Mario Bros (SMB). Unlike most of existing works in SMB, our approach exploits the synergy betw...
متن کاملGameplay semantics for authoring adaptivity in mobile games
Using procedural content generation (PCG) in game development can contribute to further engage players in more fun, balanced and richer gameplay. An adaptive game can achieve this by: (i) distinguishing its players’ interaction [3], and (ii) accordingly adapting game elements, using PCG [4]. We investigated adaptive mobile PCG methods with a case study on 7’s Wild Ride, a game developed at the ...
