Smart Games: Emergent Game Design
Gaming is a rapidly growing recreational activity. Over the last two decades we have
seen a proliferation of games across all genres and user demographics. The
consumption of content in modern games has grown as a result of the advancing
technology available to game designers, as well as the growing expectations of the
audience. The need for increasing the value of the content and expanding potential
audience grows every day. Using dynamic adjustments to the underlying game systems
as the player experiences the game, this paper will demonstrate how using emergent
principles combined with other foundational systems, such as evolutionary algorithms,
can increase the value of the content created for any game. This added value is of
benefit to both those who have made the game, and the users who experience the
results
