Towards Computational Co-Creation in Modding Communities

چکیده
Large online repositories of player-generated game content are a popular component of modern interactive digital entertainment. These add-ons are typically referred to as ”mods”, and the communities of co-creators that coalesce around them ”modding communities”. We propose a method to augment these communities with computational agents that encourage creative submissions, which we define as those that are both unexpected and valuable. We propose to combine player experience modelling, computational creativity evaluation and mixed-initiative co-creation to drive modding communities towards more fun and diverse gaming experi-

Computational Literacy in Online Games: The Social Life of Mods
Modding communities are particularly ripe environments for rethinking what it means to be IT literate in the contemporary world. Mods are, as we argue, computational literacy artifacts, exemplifying not merely computer literacy but also the ability to understand and use computational models and processes to conceptualize and solve problems. In this article, we describe modding practice in the c...

Game creation tools like Game Maker or RPG Maker democratize game making and facilitate the development of amateur game design. The best known among these programs have dynamic web-communities with active members making thousands of games.

متن کاملReciprocal Innovation in Modding Communities as a means of Increasing Cultural Diversity and Historical Accuracy in Video Games
Due to the growing power and versatility of home hardware and software, the participatory design and modification, or modding, of commercial video games has become increasingly common. This paper examines and defines emergent features, the tendency of modders to inject aspects of themselves in the game, to advertise their outside interests, and to increase the historical value of the game by dr...
