Geração Procedimental Baseada em Dados Afectivos

Abstract

The growing evolution of technology and the growth of the video-games industry lead to a constant improvement on the quality of the video-games production. This quality can be measured in function of many components, as for example, the quality or realism of computer graphics, the quality of the soundtracks or the complexity and quality of the games storyline. In short the quality of a game is measured in response to the ability of a game to make a player feel part of its virtual world. In response to the creation of more immerse experiences, in the latest years there have been efforts on developing an affective component that tries to create the best experience for the audience of a specific game. However, most of the existing solutions lack in one of the most important components. The transmission of a pack o experiences and emotion, which have been imagined by the designers, to the players. With this problem in mind the goal of this master thesis is to create a framework that will allow designers to evaluate the procedural generated contents based on the experiences and emotions that they are trying to pass over to the players.
