Abstract

This research focuses on authoring tools and narrative models for interactive storytelling, in particular for video games. Specifically, it looks at developing a genre-independent model of interactive narrative for games, implementing such a model into an authoring tool, and identifying the impact of various interface paradigms on the authoring experience and resulting narratives.
