Current game worlds often fall short in providing consistency between the visual representation of the world and the way it feels, behaves, and reacts. ...
Therefore, we present a novel approach aimed at enriching virtual entities in game worlds with information about their roles, how they relate to others, and how they can affect and interact with players ...
Instead of making an agent aware of everything in the game world, future work may include agents that have their own worldview, in which learning patterns are applied to let an agent update its knowledge ...
