Event overview
[MSc CGE Seminar] Richard Evans --- Game Designer & AI Specialist
The central theme of the talk is that interactive drama emerges when we place individual characters in social situations: drama = sociality + individuality. I will give a host of examples from my previous work: social situations and individuals in The Sims 3, Sim Philosopher, and Little Text People.
In terms of structure: first, I will motivate the need for concurrent communicating social practices in people simulations. Then, I will motivate the advantages of a declarative representations of state over procedural languages (e.g. ABL). Then, I will sketch the formal theory of Exclusion Logic: syntax, semantics, decision procedure. Then, I will show how to attach dynamic processes to the declarative state. Finally, I will show the system working in a real-time multiplayer game.
