The Omni Framework: A Destiny-Driven Solution to Dynamic Quest Generation in Games

摘要

Video games have had the capability to generate dynamic quests for years. Such quests are generally generated from tables of values or randomly assigning properties without properly regarding player progress, situation, or preference. This paper proposes a framework, called Omni framework, for creating quests that are dynamic and contextually linked by incorporating player statistics and play-style. The core of th framework is the Destiny Concept - the idea that a player's `destiny' can be uniquely `discovered' and followed throughout the game, rather than scripted.
