Interactive Drama/Games Research
Why? Explore the medium New domains bring new solutions to (old)
problems Is it important?
We have lives outside the workplace… People have always played and told stories Games and storytelling can be used for other
purposes than entertainment too…

Gaming defined
Play is an occasion of pure waste: waste of time, energy, ingenuity, skill and often money. (Caillois, 1958)
Play is essentially: Free – you choose to play Separate – limited in space and time from other activities Uncertain – you don’t know what will happen beforehand Unproductive – does not create goods or wealth Governed by rules – game rules Make-believe – as opposed to real life
• Agôn – competion
• Alea – chance
• Mimicry – simulation/role play
• Ilinx – vertigo (e.g. roller coasters)

More Affective Games
Sims Planetfall
From within the lab you hear ferocious growlings, the sounds of a skirmish, and then a high-pitched metallic scream!> WAITTime passes...
You hear, slightly muffled by the door, three fast knocks, followed by the distinctive sound of tearing metal.> OPEN THE DOORFloyd stumbles out of the Bio Lab, clutching the mini-booth card. The mutations rush toward the open doorway!> CLOSE THE DOORAnd not a moment too soon! You hear a pounding from the door as the monsters within vent their frustration at losing their prey.
Floyd staggers to the ground, dropping the mini card. He is badly torn apart, with loose wires and broken circuits everywhere. Oil flows from his lubrication system. He obviously has only moments to live.
You drop to your knees and cradle Floyd's head in your lap. Floyd looks up at his friend with half-open eyes. "Floyd did it ... got card. Floyd a good friend, huh? Quietly, you sing Floyd's favorite song, the Ballad of the Starcrossed Miner: ....
As you finish the last verse, Floyd smiles with contentment, and then his eyes close as his head rolls to one side. You sit in silence for a moment, in memory of a brave friend who gave his life so that you might live."
Relations Deeper emotions! Much work is
needed!

Our research
Explore ”games” that are Emotional Social Narrative
Interactive drama It has less focus on action Attempts to merge interactivity with a narrative
experience Emotion is a vital ingredient

What is a narrative?
A narrative is an account of events that has happened to someone.
Narratives order events temporally… A happened first, then B
and C. …and causally
C happened because of A.
Focus on characters. Narratives are about
important events. Plot refers to how events
are retold (e.g. in reverse)

Stories and Games
What are the differences? Games focus on interactivity, stories on
control Games involve solving puzzles, scoring
points and winning What is the role of story in games?
Games often involve stories (in some way) don’t they?

Traditional stories vs. Interactive stories
The author controls What happens when in
the story world What the reader finds
out about it, and when
The reader controls Whether to read on or
stop (or skip)
Author shares control Players actively
participate in the creation of their own experience
Conflicting demands Players want freedom
to do and see whatever they find interesting (?)
Authors want to tell their (a) story

Aren’t all stories interactive? Constructivism Explicit vs implicit
interactivity

Structure of Interactive Narrative
“The narrative potential of the interactive text is a function of its system of links” (Ryan, 2001)
Does this also apply to other media?
![Page 20: Dramatic Gaming Jarmo Laaksolahti jarmo@sics.se. A few facts about myself… Background in computer/systems science Researcher at SICS since 1997 Part time.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d425503460f94a1d24d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The complete graph
Fully connected graph Player can navigate as

events that can be experienced in any order
Hard to guarantee narrative coherence

The vector with branches
Main story is non-interactive
The player can visit the side branches
Players can decide the level of detail
Popular in children's (educational) games
…and perhaps RPG’s?

Critical Voices
Ludology Narratives retell past events and thus
cannot be interactive (narration collapses)
Story and roles constrain interactivity Narratology
Interactivity only allows simple/uninteresting stories to be formed

User study
Aim: To test impact of emotion model 15 subjects (one using emotion model the other
random) ‘Random’ group found characters to be strange
‘…sometimes they changed completely, first they were about to cry, the next instant their eyes were twinkling.’
Some users believed they were doing something wrong! The group using the emotional model experienced
no strange behaviour Emotional expressions need structure and timing!

Film structure
Film – a sequence of scenes Scene – captures a specific situation Shot – interval during which the
camera is continuously rolling ~2-8 sec.
Scenes are made up of one or more shots

Emotions through cinematography
By applying proper visual effects the emotional disposition of viewers can be changed Happy scene: bright lighting, bright colors Sad: dark, low-key colors Terror: quick zoom to a characters face Mental/Sick: fish-eye lens …
Partly learned behavior due to repeated exposure
