A flexible multi-model approach to psychosocial integration in non player characters in modern video games
Jiaming You, Michael J. Katchabaw · 2010
This paper introduces a novel approach to integrating various psychosocial models to facilitate the construction of flexible, expressive, and believable non player characters for modern video games. Instead of forcing game designers and developers to choose from a multitude of possible models for personality, emotion, and so on, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, our approach enables the use of multiple models simultaneously, either partially or in their entirety. In doing so, we can provide considerable flexibility and customizability in character design, leading to richer and more varied characters in video games.
