“Integrating Plot-Centric and Character-Centric Processes for Authoring Interactive Drama” by Mei Si, Stacy C. Marsella, and Mark.O. Riedl. In 4th Artificial Intelligence for Interactive Digital Entertainment Conference (AIIDE), (Palo Alto, Ca), Oct. 2008.
Computer aided interactive drama has been widely applied for entertainment and pedagogy. Most existing approaches for authoring interactive drama use either story-centric or character-centric processes. In this work, we present a new framework that integrates both types of processes to support authoring. This framework uses a multi-agent system to control virtual characters in a story. The charactersÂ’ motivations are encoded as the agentsÂ’ goals, and are configured based on well-structured story paths generated using a partial order planner. This framework allows the use of a planner that models the story at a more abstract level than the multi-agent system, and thus avoids the effort of building equivalent models of the story using both the planner and the multi-agent system. We explore the use of this new framework for authoring interactive dramas. Preliminary examples of application are presented.
