This work achieves real time prediction of the degree to which asymmetric levels are balanced using deep learning. The proposed framework provides both cost and time savings, by removing the requirement of numerous designed levels and the need to gather player data samples. This advancement with the field is possible through the combination of deep reinforcement learning (made accessible to developers with Unity’s ML-Agents framework), and Procedural Content Generation (PCG). The result of this merger is the acquisition of accelerated training data, which is established using parallel simulations. This paper showcases the proposed approach on a simple two player top-down -shooter game implemented using MoreMountains: Top Down Engine an extension to Unity 3D a popular game engine. Levels are generated using the same PCG approaches found in ’Nuclear Throne’ a popular cross platform Roguelike published by Vlambeer. This approach is accessible and easy to implement allowing games developers to test human-designed content in real time using the predictions. This research is open source and available on Github: https://github.com/Taikatou/top-down-shooter.","PeriodicalId":421754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115501481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this problem, we created a jumping assistance tool called jumphair that dynamically visualizes distances between the player character and forthcoming edges before performing a jump. Our aim was to create a jumping assistance that helps players to enhance their distance perception for performing their jumps more successfully without being distracted by the tool. We integrated the jumphair into a self-developed video game called Couch Jumper and evaluated user performance and user experience in comparison to using a static icon in two user studies (each N = 30) on a 2D display and a 3D head-mounted display (HMD), respectively. On a 2D output device, results show that the jumphair can improve jumping performances without distracting players. The jumphair is also rated helpful and can be considered an accepted game element. When used on a 3D HMD, the jumphair did not yield advantages in terms of jumping performances in its current implementation but significantly reduced simulator sickness. Our studies have implications for game research and for interface design in first-person video games with jumping mechanics.","PeriodicalId":421754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127405956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
