What Might an Action do?Toward a Grounded View of Actions in Interactive Storytelling

摘要

Interaction is central to interactive narrative experiences, but our understanding of player actions remains relatively shallow. Recent works have widened our view of what an action might do, but we still lack a way to identify, compare, and discover different kinds of action that an interactive narrative's player might perform. In this work, we present a way to model the interaction that occurs in an interactive narrative process, offering a common ground upon which many kinds of action can be distinguished, including kinds that might never have been used. We demonstrate our method on The Ice-Bound Concordance, an interactive narrative system that offers complex actions.
