Authoring emergent narrative-based games

چکیده
In this article, we address the particular issue of authoring interactive narrative with respect to video-games and interactive storytelling. We first introduce the narrative paradox between interactivity and narrative content in virtual environments and consider its impact on game design and development. We then introduce the concept of the Emergent Narrative (EN) and the particular philosophy it has been developed upon. Finally, we describe an authoring process for this approach that reflects on the characteristics of interacting within such a narrative framework.

Authoring in such a system means programming characters rather than defining plot and can be a technically and conceptually challenging task. We are currently implementing a tool that helps the author in this task by training the characters through dem...

In this paper we present WEEV (Writing Environment for Educational Video games), a methodology for educational point-and-click adventure game authoring. Our approach aims to allow educators to actively collaborate in the educational game development process, using a narrative-based representation. WEEV is based on a pragmatic reinterpretation of previous works on narrativity and video games, en...
متن کاملNarrative-Centered Learning Environments: A Story-Centric Approach to Educational Games
Narrative-centered learning environments hold significant promise for K-12 STEM education. Much of the appeal of narrative-centered learning arises from the capability of narrative to provide a meaningful structure for integrating pedagogical objectives into a unifying, coherent form that serves as a powerful motivating force for students. This chapter explores the relationship between narrativ...
