Devogilla’s Bridge in Dumfries, early foourteenth century

In previous posts, I’ve described algorithms for dynamically populating and dynamically settling a game world. But at kilometre scale (and I think we need a higher resolution than that - something closer to hectare scale), settling the British Isles using my existing algorithms takes about 24 hours of continuous compute on an eight core, 3GHz machine. You cannot do that every time you launch a new game.

    I’ve been writing literally for years – since Voice acting considered harmful in 2015 – about game worlds in which the player speaks to non-player characters just by speaking the words they choose in their normal voice, and the non-player character replies using a pipeline that goes, essentially,

      The structure of a modern Role Playing Came revolves around ‘quests’: tasks that the player character is invited to do, either by the framing narrative of the game or by some non-player character (‘the Quest Giver’). Normally there is one core quest which provides the overarching narrative for the whole game. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_(gaming)) offers a typology of quests as follows:

        (You might want to read this essay in conjunction with my older essay, Settling a game world, which covers similar ground but which this hopefully advances on)

        For an economy to work people have to be able to move between occupations to fill economic niches. In steady state, non player character (NPC) males become adult as ‘vagrants’, and then move through the state transitions described in this document. The pattern for females is different.

        The Uncanny Valley, and dynamically generated dialogue

        If the player is allowed to just speak arbitrary dialogue, then the conversation animation of the player character cannot be designed. If non-player characters are able to engage dynamically generated dialogue, in response to events in the game which are not scripted, then their conversation animation for those dialogues cannot be designed. So conversation animation must almost always be dynamically generated, largely from an augmented text of the speech act. With non-player characters, emotional content of a speech act can be generated by exactly the same process which generates the text. Extracting emotional content information from the player character’s voice may be more challenging.

        It would be possible to avoid animating the player character’s face by using a first-person camera. However, I don’t personally find this makes for a very engaging game experience.

        These thoughts were prompted by a very interesting video and Twitter thread about the perceived failings in the character animation system of Mass Effect Andromeda.

        The Witcher: Conversation with Kalkstein

        Long, long, time ago, I can still remember when… we played (and wrote) adventure games where the user typed at a command line, and the system printed back at them. A Read-Eval-Print loop in the classic Lisp sense, and I wrote my adventure games in Lisp. I used the same opportunistic parser whether the developer was building the game Create a new room north of here called dungeon-3 the player was playing the game Pick up the rusty sword and go north or the player was talking to a non-player character Say to the wizard ‘can you tell me the way to the castle’ Of course, the parser didn’t ‘understand’ English. It worked on trees of words, in which terminal nodes were actions and branching nodes were key words, and it had the property that any word it didn’t recognise at that point in sentence was a noise word and could be ignored. A few special hacks (such as ‘the’, ‘a’, or ‘an’ was an indicator that what came next was probably a noun phrase, and thus that if there was more than one sword in the player’s immediate environment the one that was wanted was the one tagged with the adjective ‘rusty’), and you ended up with a parser that most of the time convincingly interpreted most of what the player threw at it.

            The Great Game

            In this essay I’m going to try to pull together a number of my architectural ideas about the Great Game which I know I’m never actually going to build - because it’s vastly too big for any one person to build - into one overall vision.

            So, firstly, how does one characterise this game?

            Modelling trading cost and risk

            In a dynamic pre-firearms world with many small states and contested regions, trade is not going to be straightforward. Not only will different routes have different physical characteristics - more or less mountainous, more or fewer unbridged river crossings - they will also have different political characteristics: more of less taxed, more or less effectively policed.

            Raids by outlaws are expected to be part of the game economy. News of raids are the sort of things which may propagate through the gossip system. So are changes in taxation regime. Obviously, knowledge items can affect merchants’ trading strategy; in existing prototype code, individual merchants already each keep their own cache of known historical prices, and exchange historical price data with one another; and use this price data to select trades to make.

            So: to what extent is it worth modelling the spread of knowledge of trade cost and risk?

            Naming of Characters

            Generally speaking, in modern RPGs, every character with any impact on the plot has a distinct name. But if we are going to give all non-player characters sufficient agency to impact on the plot, then we must have a way of naming tens or hundreds of thousands of characters, and distinct names will become problematic (even if we’re procedurally generating names, which we shall have to do. So this note is about how characters are named.

            The full name of each character will be made up as follows:

            [epithet] [clan] [personal-name] the [trade-or-rank] of [location], son/daughter of [parent]

            On Dying

            Death is the end of your story. One of the tropes in games which, for me, most breaks immersion is when you lose a fight and are presented with a screen that says ‘you are dead. Do you want to reload your last save?’ Life is not like that. We do not have save-states. We die.

            So how could this be better handled?

            You lose a fight. Switch to cutscene: the battlefield, after the fight, your body is there. Probably no sound. A party of non-enemies crosses the battlefield and finds your body. We see surprise and concern. They gather around you. Cut to interior scene, you are in a bed, unconcious, being tended; cut to similar interior scene, you are in a bed, conscious, being tended; cut to exterior scene, you are sitting with some of your saviours, and the game restarts.

            Up to now I’ve been thinking of the Great Game as essentially an RPG with some sandbox-like elements; but I think it may be better to think of it as a sandbox game with some RPG like elements.

            Why?

            The core of the game is a world in which non-player characters have enough individual knowledge of the world and their immediate surroundings that they can sensibly answer questions like

            Sexual dimorphism

            This essay is going to upset a lot of people, so let’s start with a statement of what it is about: it is an attempt to describe the systematically different behaviours of men and women, in sufficient detail that this can be represented by agents in a game world. It’s trying to allow as broad as possible a range of cultures to be represented, so when I’m talking about what I consider to be behaviours of particular cultures, I’ll say that.

            Of course, I’m writing this from the view point of an old white male. It’s not possible to write about these things from a totally neutral viewpoint, and every one of us will have prejudices.

            OK? Let’s start.
