NetworkING: Using character relationships for interactive narrative generation
<22> This paper is one of several that improved the expressivity of narrative generation techniques using the landmark mechanisms in Planning. Here, a declarative representation is used to support authoring using as input characters’ affinities in the form of a social network, which subsequently determines the possible evolutions of the narrative. This interface makes story authoring accessible without requiring access to narrative formalisms or their computational equivalent. The resulting system significantly increased its generative power to produce hundreds of story variants. It has been demonstrated publicly at AAMAS 2013 and ICAPS 2013, where it also received the Best Application Showcase Award.
