This article introduces an interactive narrative system which involves the user with the use of speech and gestural recognition. This is the improvement on the \"Character-Based Interactive Storytelling\". This system promotes further audience engagement through multimodal means. Gestural recognition is introduced to add another element of engagement to the system.
This article describes a interactive system which is resolved around a character which the user influences. Subtle interactions such as manipulating an object can result in the change of behaviour in the character and alternative endings. The user is engaged within the story through commands on the keyboard and speech recognition. The user becomes engaged through speech recognition as they do not directly command the character the can only advise the character. A Hierarchcial Task Network(HTN) is implied to support any possible changes in the storyline based on user intervention.

Non linear narratives have been in vogue for a longperiod of time and were considered by some as being inferior to classicalnarrative. However, non linear narratives are now present in many mediaforms and the digital formats have played a crucial role in their developmentas Lev Manovich argues; ‘the use of digital compositing to create continuousspaces out of different elements can be seen as an example of the larger anti-montage aesthetics of computer culture’ (Manovich, 2000,p.155).I believe that investigating something which is contemporary can be verymotivating and constructive.

For the research I collected ample amount of literaturefrom diverse sources. Based on the literature collected I have analysed threenonlinear narrative films chronologically.

However, recently it has been used to make a movie more exciting. This technique is not used often because it requires patience from the audience. However, Quentin Tarantino is a director that has used this technique has received great praise for it.\nIn a film a nonlinear structure may be achieved through flashbacks or flash forwards. This is how it was portrayed in earlier days. In the modern age, nonlinear structure is often times hard to notice because of the sophistication in film making and storylines. This technique has been used since the silent era of films to present day films. It was used in Intolerance by D.W. Griffith in 1916. Like movies today, Intolerance used a nonlinear storyline by telling four different stories then connecting them at the end. A nonlinear storyline is usually presented by a confusing or over the top beginning. This is to force the audience to connect the dots throughout the film. This is usually done by the audience making cause and effect connections while scenes go back and forth.", "websiteTitle": "Yahoo!

This paper addresses this problem through conducting a phenomenological study on participants playing Façade; we specifically chose a phenomenological methodology due to its emphasis on the participants’ lived experience from the participants’ viewpoint. We chose Façade, because it is the only accessible example of an experience that revolves around social relationships, conflict, and drama as its core mechanics. In this paper, we discuss sixteen themes that resulted from the analysis of the data gathered through the study. In addition, we reflect on these themes discussing their relationship to participants’ backgrounds, and project implications on the design of future interactive narratives.", "bookTitle": "Interactive Storytelling", "series": "Lecture Notes in Computer Science", "seriesNumber": "5334", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2008/01/01", "publisher": "Springer Berlin Heidelberg", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "pages": "96-107", "ISBN": "978-3-540-89424-7, 978-3-540-89454-4", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-89454-4_16", "accessDate": "2013-03-08T10:18:42Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "link.springer.com", "callNumber": "", "rights": "©2008 Springer Berlin Heidelberg", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Artificial Intelligence (incl.

The user has a significant effect on how the story progresses in relation to what happens, what does not happen and how the story concludes. The user is given the freedom to move anywhere in the enviornment, interact with objects, and speak and show gestures towards the other characters. The user engagement is achieved by the vast possibilities of expression throughout the experience. Depending on how the player affects the narrative, there are up to 7 possible endings.

The author briefly discusses interactive projects he has taken part in and his thoughts on interactive games and gameplay. It is explained how linear narrative based games are engaging but not as much as non-linear games. Interesting points are expressed about how games can be more engaging by giving the option of additional layers (levels) to the game. Useful examples are given which could be expanded as part of our study and our focus on non-linear interactive games.
