"There’s a broad spectrum of [story] interactivity, says Gagliano: “A lot of interactive films have decision moments, when you can branch the narrative, but I wanted to create something that let you transform the story at any point.” A certain degree of interactivity comes from choosing the type of AI that controls each character. You can make some use rule-based AI, which guides the character using simple heuristics—if this happens, then do that. Then you can make others become reinforcement-learning agents trained to seek rewards however they like, such as fighting for a bite of the fruit. Characters that follow rules stick closer to Gagliano’s direction; RL agents inject some chaos." - Will Douglas Heaven, Editor Learn More from MIT Technology Review >
