Distributed Episode Control System for Interactive Narrative Entertainment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the massive action control system (MACS) for interactive narrative entertainment. MACS determines the action priorities for characters based in part on their own internal states, such as the motivation behind the action, feeling, and personality. MACS selects a behavior control module, called an episode tree, of about 1000 events, which is divided into action types based on these internal states and external situations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the system with the Spilant World interactive animation contents at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Japan, and NAMCO amusement park.

Computational Influence for Training and Entertainment
An interactive narrative is an education, training, or entertainment experience. There are two qualities that make an experience an interactive narrative. To understand those, let us clarify the meanings of interactive and narrative. Interactive: capable of acting on or influencing each other; and Narrative: presentation of events in a purposeful sequence. Thus, the qualities that define an int...
متن کاملMixing Story and Simulation in Interactive Narrative
Simulation is a common feature in computer entertainment. However, in computer games simulation and story are often kept distinct by interleaving interactive play and cut scenes. We describe a technique for an interactive narrative system that more closely integrates simulation and storyline. The technique uses a combination of semi-autonomous character agents and high-level story direction. Th...
متن کاملMachiavellian Characters and the Edutainment Paradox
Purely script-based approaches to building interactive narratives have often limited interaction capabilities where variability demand exponential work. This is why Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) are a transparent technique to handle user interaction in interactive narrative systems. However, it is hard to predict a sense of educational purpose in the global behavior of a group of IVAs, if n...
متن کاملBelievable Agents and Intelligent Story Adaptation for Interactive Storytelling
Interactive Narrative is an approach to interactive entertainment that enables the player to make decisions that directly affect the direction and/or outcome of the narrative experience being delivered by the computer system. Interactive narrative requires two seemingly conflicting requirements: coherent narrative and user agency. We present an interactive narrative system that uses a combinati...
متن کاملDigital storytelling with dinah: dynamic, interactive, narrative authoring heuristic
We present a novel method for defining and assembling interactive narrative while operating under an optimized constraint-based system. DINAH is a dynamic, interactive, narrative authoring heuristic that constructs textual stories from a database of short story components. Similar to video game techniques that blend short motion capture segments to construct interactive graphical characters, DI...
