A Comparative Analysis of Story Representations for Interactive Narrative Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Interactive narrative is a blossoming field, with new systems and approaches being developed each year. However, despite this burgeoning array of designs, little work has been done in empirically evaluating and comparing them (Weyhrauch 1997; Nelson and Mateas 2005; Magerko 2007). Such a comparison is complicated by the fact that different systems are used to create different narratives; it is difficult to differentiate between the authored content and the system capabilities in an empirical setting. This paper proposes a comparative analysis approach to determining the strengths and weaknesses of interactive narrative systems. Such a comparison is a positive first step towards understanding and evaluating current and future interactive narrative systems.

Interactive Narrative Intervention Alibis through Domain Revision
Interactive narrative systems produce branching story experiences for a human user using an interactive world. A class of interactive narrative systems, called strong story systems, manage a user’s experience by manipulating the interactive world and its characters according to a formal story model. In these systems, a human user may place the world into a state such that the formal story model...
متن کاملTowards Automatic Story Clustering for Interactive Narrative Authoring
Interactive storytelling systems are capable of producing many variants of stories. A major challenge in designing storytelling systems is the evaluation of the resulting narrative. Ideally every variant of the resulting story should be seen and evaluated, but due to combinatorial explosion of the story space, this is unfeasible in all but the smallest domains. However, the system designer stil...
متن کاملNarrative and Meaning in Ordinary Interactive Software
Narrative representations have become recognized as an important tool for software design. Such design techniques as use-cases and the user stories of eXtreme Programming [26] exploit narrative’s ability to represent a complex sequence of actions in a coherent, systematic structure. This is true, not only of games, storytelling systems and other directly narrative applications, but also of ordi...
متن کاملIntroducing story sampling: Preliminary results of a new interactive narrative evaluation technique
The non-linear nature of interactive narratives makes it difficult for authors of these systems to anticipate how players will interact with them. This paper presents the technique of story sampling for assisting in the authoring and evaluation of interactive narratives. An example of a potential application of story sampling is presented using data from the interactive narrative Prom Week, and...

Attention to the narrative structure of stories from the twentieth century followed the science of linguistics and then semiotics as a branch of science. The narration of Sheikh Sanan is the most famous and longest story of Attar, which has been analyzed many times in terms of literature, narration and artistic since its creation. In the field of narration, Grimas proposed a comprehensive rule ...
