A New Cozy Mystery--Every Time You Play the Game!

My research is starting to come together! I’m beginning some more mockups, a design document, and other tech notes. However, these two research papers are guiding my new direction with the game.

ClueGen is an open-source, experimental murder mystery game that generates its own narrative using procedural generation techniques. It has “a novel system for telegraphing deceptive characters in procedurally generated games with text-based dialogue, by using audible cues.”

The Cozy Mystery Construction Kit is an experimental series of prototypes for AI-assisted storytelling in a game. It experiments with a variety of techniques in character simulation (including simulating their motivations!), as well as procedural generation that includes story themes and game experiences.
