However, despite the interactive nature of games, their stories usually do not develop considering every decision and/or action the players are capable of, because depending on the game size, it would take too much effort to author alternative routes for all of them. To make these alternatives viable, an interesting solution would be to procedurally generate them, which could be achieved by using the story generation approaches already developed by many works of the storytelling field. Some of these approaches are based on the simulation of virtual worlds, in which the stories are generated by making the characters that inhabit the worlds act trying to reach their goals. The resulting actions and the world's reactions compose the final story. Since the actions are the building blocks of the stories, the characters' acting capabilities are determinant features of the generation potential of simulations. For instance, it is only possible to generate stories with deception if the characters are capable of deceiving each other. To allow the generation of stories where the characters are capable of manipulation, cooperation and other social behaviors by actively using what the others will do based on what they know and see, we propose a recursive planning approach that deals with the uncertainty of the others' knowledge and with a purposely error-prone perception simulation. To test our proposal we developed a story generation system and designed an adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood world as test scenario. With our approach, the system was capable of generating coherent story variations with deceptive actions.","PeriodicalId":6594,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG)","volume":"37 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83326351","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}

This paper, proposes quantitative approaches to use the knowledge of player behaviour in one game to seed the process of building player experience models in another. We investigate two settings: in the supervised feature mapping method, we use labeled datasets about players' behaviour in two games. The goal is to establish a mapping between the features so that the models build on one dataset could be used on the other by simple feature replacement. For the unsupervised transfer learning scenario, our goal is to find a shared space of correlated features based on unlabelled data. The features in the shared space are then used to construct models for one game that directly work on the transferred features of the other game. We implemented and analysed the two approaches and we show that transferring the knowledge of player experience between domains is indeed possible and ultimately useful when studying players' behaviour and when designing user studies.","PeriodicalId":6594,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG)","volume":"100 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80589726","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}

Deckbuilding is a challenge that involves a big and rugged search space, with different and unpredictable behaviour after simple card changes and even hidden information. In this paper, we explore the possibility of automated deckbuilding: a genetic algorithm is applied to the task, with the evaluation delegated to a game simulator that tests every potential deck against a varied and representative range of human-made decks. In these preliminary experiments, the approach has proven able to create quite effective decks, a promising result that proves that, even in this challenging environment, evolutionary algorithms can find good solutions.","PeriodicalId":6594,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88678100","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}

Using Far Cry® 4 data, we illustrate how playtime measures can be used to identify time periods where players are more likely to stop playing. First, we show that a benchmark can easily be performed for every game available on Steam using publicly available data. Then, we introduce how survival analysis can help to model the influence of game variables on player retention. Game environment and player characteristics change over time and tracking systems already store those changes. But existing model which deals with time varying covariate cannot scale on huge datasets produced by video game monitoring. That is why we propose a model that can both deal with time varying covariates and is well suited for big datasets. As a given game variable can have a changing effect over time, we also include time-varying coefficients in our model. We used this survival analysis model to quantify the effect of Far Cry 4 weapons usage on player retention.","PeriodicalId":6594,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG)","volume":"22 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74695744","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}

It incrementally builds a search tree based on observed states after applying actions. However, the MCTS algorithm always plans over actions and does not incorporate any higher level planning, as one would expect from a human player. Furthermore, although many games have similar game dynamics, often no prior knowledge is available to general video game playing algorithms. In this paper, we introduce a new algorithm called “Option Monte Carlo Tree Search” (O-MCTS). It offers general video game knowledge and high level planning in the form of “options”, which are action sequences aimed at achieving a specific subgoal. Additionally, we introduce “Option Learning MCTS” (OL-MCTS), which applies a progressive widening technique to the expected returns of options in order to focus exploration on fruitful parts of the search tree. Our new algorithms are compared to MCTS on a diverse set of twenty-eight games from the general video game AI competition. Our results indicate that by using MCTS's efficient tree searching technique on options, O-MCTS outperforms MCTS on most of the games, especially those in which a certain subgoal has to be reached before the game can be won. Lastly, we show that OL-MCTS improves its performance on specific games by learning expected values for options and moving a bias to higher valued options.","PeriodicalId":6594,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG)","volume":"122 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88114215","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}

While automated learning methods such as neuroevolution (i.e. evolving artificial neural networks) have shown promise in this context, they often still require carefully designed fitness functions. In this paper, we show how casual users can create controllers for Super Mario Bros. through an interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) approach, without prior domain or programming knowledge. By iteratively selecting Super Mario behaviors from a set of candidates, users are able to guide evolution towards behaviors they prefer. The result of a user test show that the participants are able to evolve controllers with very diverse behaviors, which would be difficult through automated approaches. Additionally, the user-evolved controllers perform as well as controllers evolved with a traditional fitness-based approach in terms of distance traveled. The results suggest that IEC is a viable alternative in designing diverse controllers for video games that could be extended to other games in the future.","PeriodicalId":6594,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79888564","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}

However, there is no agreement about which are the most efficient techniques to group unlabeled time-ordered data. This is because a successful classification of time series patterns depends on the goal and the domain of interest, i.e. it is application-dependent. In this article, we study free-to-play game data. In this domain, clustering similar time series information is increasingly important due to the large amount of data collected by current mobile and web applications. We evaluate which methods cluster accurately time series of mobile games, focusing on player behavior data. We identify and validate several aspects of the clustering: the similarity measures and the representation techniques to reduce the high dimensionality of time series. As a robustness test, we compare various temporal datasets of player activity from two free-to-play video-games. With these techniques we extract temporal patterns of player behavior relevant for the evaluation of game events and game-business diagnosis. Our experiments provide intuitive visualizations to validate the results of the clustering and to determine the optimal number of clusters. Additionally, we assess the common characteristics of the players belonging to the same group. This study allows us to improve the understanding of player dynamics and churn behavior.","PeriodicalId":6594,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG)","volume":"109 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80945249","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}

We apply our methods to the recent approach of Inventory-Driven Jump-Point Search (InvJPS). First, we introduce InvJPS+ that allows to prune large parts of the search space by favoring short detours to pick up items, offering a trade-off between efficiency and optimality. Second, we propose a preprocessing step that allows to decide on runtime which items, e.g., keys, are worth using thus pruning potentially unnecessary items before the search starts.
