Toward Automated Quest Generation in Text-Adventure Games

Understand

Interactive fictions, or text-adventures, are games in which a player interacts with a world entirely through textual descriptions and text actions.

• In this paper, we consider the problem of procedurally generating a quest, defined as a series of actions required to progress towards a goal, in a text-adventure game.
• Quest generation in text environments is challenging because they must be semantically coherent.
