Abstract
The paper describes ongoing work on a spoken computer game system in which children, young people, and others can have domain-oriented spoken and gesture conversation with fairy-tale author Hans Christian Andersen (HCA) and some of his fairy tale characters. Having presented the scenario concept, the paper focuses on HCA character module management, discussing, in particular, how to manage HCA when he is not talking back to the user but is either alone in his study or receiving the user’s conversational contribution.
