Abstract  

This paper is a description of our work in creating a story director agent which utilises AI techniques. The story director controls the storyline in a adventure computer game, with the player controlling the hero character, and the story director reacting to the players actions. The story is told throught subplot-level plans being formulated with a case-based planner, and a social simulation system that the story director is 'plugged in to', allowing consistent logical stories while allowing for player freedom. The system has been named OPIATE - Open-ended Proppian Interactive Adaptive Tale Engine.
