| This AI research project/experiment tries to rise above the
hyper-linked dialogue trees in most adventure and RPG games with
characters that have an eerie knack for realistically reacting to your
typed responses.
From Procedural Arts:
Facade is an attempt to move beyond traditional branching or
hyperlinked narrative to create a fully-realized, one-act interactive
drama, integrating an interdisciplinary set of artistic practices and
artificial intelligence technologies. You, the player, using your own
name and gender, play the character of a longtime friend of Grace and
Trip, an attractive and materially successful couple in their early
thirties. During an evening get-together at their apartment that
quickly turns ugly, you become entangled in the high-conflict
dissolution of Grace and Trip's marriage.
No one is safe as the accusations fly, sides are taken and irreversible
decisions are forced to be made. By the end of this intense one-act
play you will have changed the course of Grace and Trip's lives
motivating you to re-play the drama to find out how your interaction
could make things turn out differently the next time. |
