Empathic Entertainment in Digital Game

A digital game give a unique experience to a user. AI system in Digital game consists of three kinds of AI such as Meta-AI, Character AI, and Spatial AI. Game experience is formed by them. Meta-AI keeps watching a status of game and controlling characters, objects, terrain,　weather and so on dynamically to make many dramatic and empathic situations in a game for users. Character AI is a brain of an autonomous game character to make a decision by itself, but sometimes it acts to achieve a goal issued from Meta-AI. Spatial AI analyses a terrain and abstracts its features to communicate them to Meta-AI and Character-AI. They can make their intelligent decisions by using specific terrain and environment features. The AI system is called MCS-AI dynamic cooperative model (Meta-AI, Character AI, and Spatial AI dynamic cooperative model). In the lecture, I will explain the system by showing some cases of published digital games.
