Producing the Action: Previous Approaches to Interactive Drama

This short chapter is still in sketch form. See below for its basic structure.

Improvised Human Approaches

Improv actors and roleplaying game GMs both have some general practices that produce or control a story while responding to interactive users.

Computational Approaches

A number of interactive drama approaches have already been developed. These include:

emergent (including Chris Crawford's verb-based Erasmatron approach)
planning-based
adversarial search-based

However, I will focus here on previous scene-based approaches, including:

Grasbon & Braun's Geist
Fairclough's OPIATE
My previous design, Eudaemon
Mateas & Stern's Facade
