Novice-Friendly Authoring of Plan-Based Interactive Storyboards

چکیده
Story Canvas is a visual authoring tool for the creation of interactive, generative stories. Aimed at authors without a technical background in computational storytelling, our system takes an existing author goal-based narrative planning architecture and adds a highly visual authoring and reading interface to the technology, using the language of storyboards and comics as a framework for both authoring and interacting with the resulting narratives. In this paper we describe Story Canvas and its evolution from our previous authoring work, including how our interface choices have been driven by our previous experiences with non-technical authors, and describe the details of translating the visual authoring constructs into story plans within the story generator.

متن کاملExtension of Timeline-based Editing for Non-deterministic Temporal Behavior in SMIL2.0 Authoring
Timeline-based editing provides nonprofessional users an intuitive and friendly way for multimedia authoring, but the schedule-based and deterministic property of timeline results in the lack of the ability for supporting non-deterministic temporal behavior, which is one of the key features of SMIL2.0. This paper presents our elaborate effort of supporting non-deterministic temporal behavior by...
متن کاملPaintBoard: Prototyping Interactive Character Behaviours by Digitally Painting Storyboards
The creation of interactive worlds, such as those in video games, often include a set of computer controlled characters that must intelligently act and react in response to dynamic input from the user. These interactive behaviours usually require authors to programmatically define each behavior, reaction, and interaction the character should take in response to user input across a range of scen...
