Dynamic Procedural Music Generation from NPC Attributes
2020
International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games

This paper describes the system developed to solve this problem, which generates thematic music for non-player characters (NPCs) based on developer-defined attributes in real time and responds to the dynamic ...
The system was evaluated by means of user study: participants confront four NPC bosses each with their own uniquely generated dynamic track based on their varying attributes in relation to the player's ...

NPCs struggle greatly to portray flexible or creative behaviours within an adaptive or procedurally generated environment and this is even more apparent in their relationship with sound. ...
To illustrate this vision, a roadmap for future work is laid out, using Sonic Virtuality as the foundation for a 'synthetic listener', an NPC capable of responding to procedurally generated and external ...
With regards to auditory feedback, such processing could enable NPCs to assess sound cues -not only from within the game world (i.e. generated by the game engine) but also from audio input detected from ...

Emotion has been investigated from various perspectives and across several domains within human computer interaction (HCI) including intelligent tutoring systems, interactive web applications, social media ...
Collectively, such HCI attributes allow for high levels of player incorporation (Calleja, 2011) and yield dynamic and complex emotion manifestations. ...
The adaptive process in this case is referred to as procedural content generation (PCG) which is the generation of game content via the use of algorithmic means. ...
