Comme il Faut 2: A fully realized model for socially-oriented gameplay
نویسندگان
چکیده
Social games—common patterns of character interactions that modify the social environment of the story world—provide a useful abstraction when authoring a story composed of interactive characters, making it possible to create games with deep possibility spaces that are about social interaction (which would be intractable if hand-authoring all the options). In this paper, we detail the workings of a major new version of our social artificial intelligence system, Comme il Faut, that enables social game play in interactive media experiences. The workings of Comme il Faut 2 are shown, with running examples, from both knowledge representation and process perspectives. Finally, the paper concludes with a plan for evaluating and demonstrating Comme il Faut 2 through an implementation of an interactive media experience that consists of a playable social space.

متن کاملToward Recombinant Dialogue in Interactive Narrative
Prom Week is a social-simulation videogame driven by the artificial intelligence engine Comme il Faut (CiF). In each level of the game, the player selects social interactions between characters in an effort to achieve socially oriented goals. These social interactions are enacted with hand-authored natural-language dialogue exchanges, called instantiations, which also serve to render the underl...
متن کاملComme il Faut: A System for Simulating Social Games Between Autonomous Characters
Modern video games have highly developed computational models of physical space, which allow sophisticated play in the physical realm. However, computational models of social interaction are rare, offer limited social play, and require a large amount of authoring to create. We believe that a computational model of social interaction inspired by appropriate humanities and social science concepts...
متن کاملSocial Play in Non-Player Character Dialog
Non-player characters in games generally lack believability and deep interactivity. The AI system Comme il Faut begins to tackle this by modeling social state and behaviors for game characters. The player initiates social exchanges and the dialog and outcome are generated and displayed in their entirety. In this paper we present a model called social practices to extend Comme il Faut. Social pr...
متن کاملComme il Faut: A System for Authoring Playable Social Models
Authoring interactive stories where the player is afforded a wide range of social interactions results in a very large space of possible social and story situations. The amount of effort required to individually author for each of these circumstances can quickly become intractable. The social AI system Comme il Faut (CiF) aims to reduce the burden on the author by providing a playable model of ...
