Autonomous agents, also known as AI agents, are staples in modern video games. They take a lot of roles, everything from being quest-givers in roleplaying games, to opposing forces in action- and shooter games. Crafting an AI that is not only easy to create, but also retains humanlike and believable behavior, has always represented a challenge to the development industry, and has in several cases ended up with open world games using AI systems that limit the AI agents to simple moving patterns. In this thesis, a form of AI systems more commonly used in simulation games such as The Sims video game series, are taken and implemented in an environment that could possibly be seen in an open world game. After the implementation, a set of tests were performed on a group of testers which resulted in the insight that a majority of the testers, when asked to compare their experience to other games, found this implementation to feel more lifelike and realistic. Keywords: AI, game development, game AI, behavior tree 1 Introduction The world of games is not only inhabited by the players of video games, but also by autonomous agents.

  • Romance Never Changes…Or Does It?: Fallout, Queerness, and Mods
    Romance Never Changes…Or Does It?: Fallout, Queerness, and Mods Kenton Taylor Howard University of Central Florida UCF Center for Emerging Media 500 W Livingston St. Orlando, FL 32801 [email protected] ABSTRACT Romance options are common in mainstream games, but since games have been criticized for their heteronormativity, such options are worth examining for their contribution to problematic elements within gaming culture. The Fallout series suffers from many of these issues; however, recent games in the can be modded, offering fans a way to address these problems. In this paper, I examine heteronormative elements of the Fallout series’ portrayal of queerness to demonstrate how these issues impacted the series over time. I also look more specifically at heteronormative mechanics and visuals from Fallout 4, the most recent single-player game in the series. Finally, I discuss three fan-created mods for Fallout 4 that represent diverse approaches to adding queer elements to the game. I argue that one effective response to problematic portrayals of queerness in games is providing modding tools to the fans so that they can address issues in the games directly. Keywords Mods, Modding, Queer Game Studies, Representation, Romance, Fallout INTRODUCTION Romance options are common in videogames: players can interact with non-player characters in flirtatious ways and have sex, form relationships, or even get married to those characters. Since mainstream games have been criticized for their heteronormativity by including elements that suggest “queerness is just a different twist on non-queer heterosexuality” (Lauteria 2012, 2), such options are worth examining for their contribution to problematic elements within gaming culture.

  • Winning in Games
    Sector: Technology Dave Novosel September 29 , 20 20 [email protected] Winning In Games ♦ Microsoft (MSFT), although apparently a much better match than Oracle, lost out on the bidding for TikTok. But it may have saved itself some headaches, given the political interference in that situation. After losing that opportunity, the company turned immediately and announced the acquisition of ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda develops and publishes video games, including The Elder Scrolls, Doom, and Fallout. The deal expands Microsoft’s game studios from 15 to 23, strengthening its position in the rapidly expanding gaming market. The timing is good as Microsoft is about to launch its eagerly awaited Xbox Series X and Series S in time for the holiday season. In addition, Microsoft bolsters its line-up to attract more users to its Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft is paying $7.5 billion in cash to acquire ZeniMax Media. ZeniMax is privately held, but speculation is that annual revenue was less than $1 billion, implying that EBITDA was less than $300 million. Therefore the deal could be viewed as quite expensive. But Microsoft has such tremendous financial flexibility that it really won’t have much of an impact on the credit profile. The company has close to $14 billion in cash and another $123 billion in short-term investments. In addition, the company generated more than $30 billion of free cash flow in the fiscal year that just ended June 30 th . ♦ Microsoft posted revenue of $143 billion last year, so the acquisition’s financial impact on operations is minimal.
