475kB PDF file)Motivating Dramatic Interactions
- Stefan Rank, Paolo Petta
- Simulated dramatic story-worlds need to be populated with situated software agents that act in a dramatically believable way. In order to provide flexible roleplayers, agent architectures should limit the required external macro-level control. We present work on an architecture that exploits social embedding and concepts from appraisal theories of emotion to achieve the enactment of simple cliche plots. The interplay of motivational constructs and the subjective evaluative interpretation of changes in an agent's environment provide for the causal and emotional connections that can lead to the unfolding of a story.
