Suggesting New Plot Elements for an Interactive Story
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a system that uses evolutionary optimization to suggest new story-world events that, if added to an existing interactive story, would most improve the average interactive experience, according to author-supplied criteria. In doing so, we aim to apply some of the ideas from drama-managed storytelling, such as authorial aesthetic control, in an unguided setting more akin to emergent storytelling: rather than guiding or directing a player towards an experience in line with an author’s aesthetic goals, the storyworld is augmented with new content in a way that will tend to align with an author’s goals, even if the player is not guided. In this paper, we present an offline system, and demonstrate its robustness to a number of variations in authorial criteria and player-model assumptions. This is intended to lay the groundwork for a future system that would generate new content online, allowing for interactive stories larger than those explicitly written by the author.

A Hybrid of Plot-Based and Character-Based Interactive Storytelling
Interactive storytelling in the virtual environment attracts a lot of research interests in recent years. Story plot and character are two most important elements of a story. Based on these two elements, currently there are two research directions: plot-based and character-based interactive storytelling. However, plot-based approach lacks the refinement of character behaviors as character-based...
متن کاملInteractive Drama Authoring with Plot and Character: An Intelligent System that Fosters Creativity
Computer-based systems for interactive dramas allow the user to participate actively in the unfolding of a story in a virtual world. Various approaches have been explored for facilitating the human author in creating computer-based interactive dramas. Most of these approaches can be categorized as either story-centric or character-centric designs. In this work, we present a new framework that i...
متن کاملework for Plot Control i nteractive
This paper presents a framework for plot control in interactive story systems. In this framework, the user takes the place of the main character of the story, the protagonist. The rest of the cast consists of discrete characters, each playing a specific role in the story. A separate module in this system, the plot manager, controls the behavior of the cast and specifies what the protagonist can...
متن کاملCognitive and Computational Models in Interactive Narrative
In this paper, we set out a basic approach to the modeling of narrative in interactive virtual worlds. This approach adopts a bipartite model taken from narrative theory, in which narrative is composed of story and discourse. In our approach, story elements – plot and character – are defined in terms of plans that drive the dynamics of a virtual environment. Discourse elements – the narrative’s...
متن کاملNarrative generation through characters' point of view
Virtual Actors are at the heart of Interactive Storytelling systems and in recent years multiple approaches have been described to specify their autonomous behaviour. One well known problem is how to achieve a balance between the characters’ autonomy, defined in terms of their individual roles and motivations, and the global structure of the plot, which tends to emphasise narrative phenomena an...
