A Critical Review of Interactive Drama Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides a critical review of existing interactive drama systems. An interactive drama takes place within a virtual world in which the user has a high degree of freedom to physically and mentally interact with non-player characters and objects within a dramatically interesting experience which is different on every play, and adapts to the user’s interactions. Those criteria which should provide the basis of interactive drama are detailed and discussed in this paper. The main existing interactive drama systems are then surveyed. The techniques used in each system are discussed, as are the contributions, and shortcomings, of each system. There is great potential for interactive drama systems, and this paper considers how best to achieve this.
