    Modelling Suspicion as a Game Mechanism for Designing a Computer-Played Investigation Character Nahum Alvarez1 and Federico Peinado2 1 Production Department, Gameloft Tokyo 151-0061 Tokyo, Japan [email protected] 2 Departamento de Ingeniería del Software e Inteligencia Artificial, Facultad de Informática, Universidad Complutense de Madrid 28040 Madrid, Spain [email protected] Abstract. Nowadays creating believable characters is a top trend in the video game industry. Recent projects present new design concepts and improvements in artificial intelligence that are oriented to this goal. The expected behaviour of computer-played characters becomes increasingly demanding: proactivity, au- tonomous decision-making, social interaction, natural communication, reason- ing and knowledge management, etc. Our research project explores the possibil- ity for one of these characters to investigate, solving an enigma while dealing with incomplete information and the lies of other characters. In this paper we propose how to manage trust issues when modelling suspicion in the artificial mind of a Columbo-like detective, considering that our desired gameplay is a murder mystery game in which the player plays the role of the culprit. Keywords. Interactive Digital Storytelling, Video Game Design, Artificial In- telligence, Believable Characters, Epistemic Modal Logic, Trust Systems 1 Introduction Computer simulations allow a high grade of realism; however, computer-controlled characters in virtual worlds still feel like mere automatons: the user gives an input and receives a response. Advances in intelligent behaviour are changing the user experi- ence, improving these characters’ performance and expanding the scope of their po- tential uses. One aspect that refrain us from believing such characters are “alive” is that they seem completely “naive”: they will believe without doubts all the infor- mation received from other sources.

    Film Essay for "7Th Heaven"

    7th Heaven By Aubrey Solomon In the years between 1926 and 1928, Hollywood ex- perienced a maturation which blended art and indus- try to a new level of cinema. Influenced heavily by the experiments of foreign talents, largely German, new concepts of cinematography, lighting, set de- sign, and special effects known as “trick shots,” per- meated American film-making methods. The somber and sometimes morbid themes of German cinema also seeped into their films, often to the chagrin of American exhibitors who preferred their own exuber- ant optimism and happy endings. “7th Heaven” characterizes a perfect blend of opti- mistic romantic fantasy and German influenced pro- duction design. It also became one of the most pop- ular films of the late silent era. Its opening title card set the tone: “For those who will climb it, there is a ladder leading from the depths to the heights - from the sewer to the stars - the ladder of Courage.” Based on a hugely successful play by Austin Strong which ran at the Booth Theatre on Broadway from October 30, 1922, to May 21,1924 for a total of 685 performances, it portrayed the travails of young lov- An advertisement from a June 1927 edition of Motion ers who meet amidst the sordid gutters of pre-World Picture News.
