Narrative Representations and Causality in Character-Based Interactive Storytelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a fully implemented prototype for interactive storytelling using the UnrealTM engine. Using a sit-com like scenario as an example of how the dynamic interactions between characters and/or the user dramatise the emerging story. We present how all possible narrative variations are formalised using Hierarchical Task Networks. However, within interactive narrative representation, matters arise from the conjunction of different sorts of causality: physical, psychological and narrative.

In this paper, we present the first results obtained with an interactive storytelling prototype. Our main objective is to develop flexible character-based systems, which nevertheless rely on narrative formalisms and representations. Characters’ behaviours are generated from plan-based representations, whose content is derived from narrative formalisms. We suggest that search based planning can ...

In the emergent narrative approach to Interactive Storytelling, narratives arise from the interactions between playeror computer-controlled characters in a simulated story world. This approach offers much freedom to the players, but this freedom may come at the cost of narrative structure. In this paper we study stories created by children using a storytelling system based on the emergent narra...

Whilst narrative representations have played a prominent role in AI research, there has been a renewed interest in the topic with the development of interactive narratives. A typical approach aims at generating narratives from baseline action representations, most often using planning techniques. However, this research has developed empirically, often as an application of planning. In this pape...
متن کاملBack-Leading through Character Status in Interactive Storytelling
A key challenge in computer-based interactive narrative is the conflict between user agency and authorial control of the story quality. Valuable lessons can be learned from improvisational and especially interactive theatre, where various narrative and interactive strategies have been developed to engage users in the process of co-creating the story. In this paper, we focus on the use of charac...
