  • Toward a Deeper Understanding of Branching Dialogue Systems
    TOWARD A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF BRANCHING DIALOGUE SYSTEMS LEANNE C. TAYLOR-GILES BFA (Creative Writing Production) Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters by Research. CREATIVE INDUSTRIES FACULTY QUEENSLAND UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY 2014 Leanne C. Taylor-Giles -- Understanding Branching Dialogue Systems Keywords Agency; branching dialogue systems; conversation architecture; creative writing; critical path; emergent narrative; emotional interface; immersion; interaction design; interactive narrative; literary criticism; narrative design; player character; practice-led; roleplaying video games; writing for video games. 2 – Creative Industries, QUT Understanding Branching Dialogue Systems – Leanne C. Taylor-Giles Abstract This exegesis addresses the concept of writing for video games, and specifically the branching dialogue systems available within contemporary roleplaying video games. It suggests a taxonomy for the critique of interactive narratives, and seeks to answer the question of whether branching dialogues may be separated from their medium in order to apply more traditional methods of literary criticism. The exegesis covers the critique of four contemporary roleplaying video games that are rated as the ‘best’ from among the offerings of the current video game development industry. It also examines the author’s personal works from both an internal and external standpoint, to further elucidate the aspects of writing for branching dialogues and interactive media that have yet to be discussed from a practitioner’s point of view within an academic context. As a conclusion, the exegesis presents a final project aimed at supporting the reflections and discoveries made throughout, providing a first-hand look at a game writer’s unedited creative process and the methods by which greater interactivity with non-player characters may be achieved.

Conclusion: Dragon Age II and Imperfect Binaries 45 Bibliography 50 iv ABSTRACT Medea and New Media: Analyzing Euripides’ Tragedy through the Medium of Video Games by Ashton Lacy Murphy Women play an astonishingly prominent role as characters in ancient Athenian tragedy; we have only one extant tragedy—Philoctetes—which does not feature at least one female character. The number, and perhaps more importantly the depiction, of these characters has given rise to a search for proto-feminism in tragedy, with Euripides as an especially prominent target.

Eu queria falar sobre temas que despertassem o mesmo ânimo e paixão que eu sentia quando jogo e faço jogos. E como jogar e construir jogos, foi uma experiência permeada de obstáculos, dúvidas, e momentos de glória a cada fase terminada. Às vezes foi divertido, às vezes não, e questionamentos sobre o caminho persistem, mas o importante foi a jornada. Agradeço à minha família, em especial meu pai, mãe e irmão, pelo apoio desde o início até o fim. Agradeço também aos meus amigos, por seu apoio, memes e piadas nas horas boas e ruins. Obrigada à minha orientadora, Profª Drª Marília Lyra Bergamo, por me acompanhar nessa aventura e acreditar neste projeto, me guiando por caminhos que eu ainda não conhecia.
