I was sure he would also find the site very useful. ian wilson I was chatting with the Head of AI at Lionhead, Richard Evans, today and invited him to drop by and perhaps post his views on this.

(We've had a bit of contact with the Lionhead folk in the past; Peter Molyneux was planning to be on an Interactive Story panel at Siggraph 2002 that Noah and I co-organized and participated in. The head writer for B&W (his name escapes me now) ended up taking Peter's place, due to scheduling issues.) We have our own take on the question of the combination of AI, simulation and story, described in our GDC game design paper from last year, <a href="http://www.quvu.net/interactivestory.net/papers/MateasSternGDC03.pdf"><i>Façade:</i> An Experiment in Building a Fully-Realized Interactive Drama</a>, based on a similar CMU tech report. It's a long paper; the meat of that particular argument is in the 'Approach and Motivation' section in the beginning. Also, for anyone new to GTxA, we've addressed this issue in various previous posts over the past year; here's a <a href="http://grandtextauto.org/archives/000251.html">list of posts</a>, a subset of which are about AI and narrative.
