arXiv:2608. 04037v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing narrative-grounded interactive experiences remains labor-intensive because interactive content must align with the underlying world implied by the narrative.

arXiv:2607. 11594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-scene navigation (clearing an objective in one bounded space and then crossing a portal into the next) is a defining feature of contemporary 3D games, but authoring it is laborious: every portal must have consistent endpoints on both sides, each interior must remain navigable once it is furnished, and the resulting connectivity must be kept consistent across many files.

arXiv:2607. 21195v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chess is a two player strategic game that is embedded in classical AI culture as it was once the frontier for intelligent behaviour.

arXiv:2607. 02082v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wave Function Collapse (WFC) is a widely used procedural content generation method that learns local adjacency constraints from example inputs to generate larger outputs.

arXiv:2608. 05248v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generating large-scale, freely explorable 3D worlds from open-ended text remains challenging because a system must jointly maintain global spatial coherence, rich local content, and explicit assets suitable for downstream editing and reuse.

arXiv:2606. 16014v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many games rely on storytelling combined with systems that track levelling, NPC behaviour, and consequence simulation; bridging tightly-authored narrative with deeply-simulated worlds -- most acute in sandbox and open-world settings -- has been prohibitively expensive.

arXiv:2606. 13348v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computational creativity in Interactive Fiction faces a fundamental tension: Large Language Models (LLM) may produce creative narratives but struggle with world coherence, while symbolic systems ensure consistency but lack creative flexibility.

arXiv:2607. 00527v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative AI now enables games to produce dialogue, quests, characters, images, and worlds at runtime.

arXiv:2606. 29932v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long-horizon strategic planning in complex strategy games requires coordinating tightly coupled decision domains, including technology, economy, diplomacy, and military, across hundreds of turns under imperfect information.

arXiv:2510. 11503v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Games have long been a microcosm for studying planning and reasoning in both natural and artificial intelligence (AI), often focusing on expert-level or even super-human play.
