Qualitative analysis of procedurally generated narratives remains a difficult hurdle for most narrative generation tools. Typical analysis involves the use of human studies, rating the quality of the generated narratives against a given set of criteria, a costly and time consuming process. In this paper we integrate a set of features within the REGEN system which aim to ensure narrative correct...

The role of story and narrative within games has been debated at length. By taking the approach that narrative can be understood with games, but only by incorporating the dynamics of game play and by accepting that existing models of narrative must be modified, this paper examines the place of narrative within role-playing games. Narrative can be defined as a description of a series of events. ...

In her reflections on the narrative research approach, the author starts by placing narrative research within the framework of sociocultural theory, where the challenge for the researcher is to examine and understand how human actions are related to the social context in which they occur and how and where they occur through growth. The author argues that the narrative as a unit of analysis prov...

We argue that the use of a user-centred design approach necessarily involves some form of storytelling or narrative. Given that both the potential end-users and the designers themselves often (perhaps usually) have different interests and points-of-view to present, the resultant co-constructed narrative describing the desired interactive system is inevitably the product of compromise. We descri...

Narrative generation represents an application domain for AI planning where plan quality is related to properties such as shape of plan trajectory. In our work we have developed a plan-based approach to narrative generation that uses character relationships as a key determinant in controlling plan shape (relationships are key in genres such as serial dramas and soaps). Our approach is implement...
