Modeling Rich Characters in Interactive Narrative Games

Abstract

Computing technologies have advanced rapidly over the past decade. Faster machines, better graphics, and more advanced algorithms become available every year. Moreover, the evolution of internet technology and the increasing accessibility of computing resources and mobile devices allow computing technologies to go beyond business and scientific computing, and become an important means for providing entertainment and facilitating communication. These advances have helped to enable a new form of media interactive narrative games. Interactive narrative games allow a user to play a role in a story and interact with other characters driven by AI agents. The users choices affect the unfolding of the story.
