“…UT is a cheap game which provides access to level editors for defining the environment, a scripting language (UnrealScript) for defining the physics of the world and the way objects interact, and the ability to import your own objects into the game. UT is currently being used by several groups to develop storytelling systems [21][22][23], and ai-based bots in general [20].…”

Storytelling in virtual environments from a virtual guide perspective

This paper describes our proposal for storytelling in virtual environments from a virtual guide perspective, detailing the involved knowledge representation and algorithms. In our model the guide begins at a particular location and starts to navigate the world telling the user stories related to the places she visits. Our guide tries to emulate a real guide's behaviour in such a situation. In particular, she behaves as a spontaneous real guide who knows stories about the places in the virtual world but has not prepared an exhaustive tour nor a storyline.

“…Note that Flow is also correlated with the Positive emotional state (.535). Note also that the scores for Flow and Positive emotional state are, for the first group 2.81 and 3.23 respectively, in a 5-point Likert scale (1)(2)(3)(4)(5), which correspond to rather high values (see [15] for comparisons with other systems tested with the same scales).…”

Abstract. This paper describes, implements and assesses a series of user-log indicators for automatic interactive narrative evaluation. The indicators include length and duration, diversity, renewal, choice range, choice frequency, and choice variety. Based on a laboratory experiment with players, a significant positive correlation has been observed between two indicators and some aspects of the interactive narrative experience measured by validated scales based on questionnaires.

“…In fact a stateless narrative engine is a way to represent actions and their interdependence but does not favor a specific type of algorithm over another. It is possible to use a one step action selection mechanism, as in IDtension [24] or Defacto [19], but planning algorithms can also be used, as in I-Storytelling [4] or Mimesis [18,28]. We foresee a large range of algorithms that could be used on a story representation based on links.…”
