چکیده

Non-player characters in games generally lack believability and deep interactivity. The AI system Comme il Faut begins to tackle this by modeling social state and behaviors for game characters. The player initiates social exchanges and the dialog and outcome are generated and displayed in their entirety. In this paper we present a model called social practices to extend Comme il Faut. Social practices increase the playability of social play by modeling social interactions at a more granular level and adding interactivity at each stage. This model also moves away from dialog trees to a more modular form of authoring to support the additional complexity.

Using Natural Language to Manage NPC Dialog

In this document, we describe our work applying natural language (NL) technologies to improve non-player character (NPC) dialog interactions in games, specifically role-playing games (RPGs).

In our system, menu items are...
