Making Games ALIVE: An Organisational Approach

The AI techniques used in commercial games are usually predictable, inflexible and unadaptive, causing a lack of realism for the player. In this paper, we introduce a proposal of integrating the ALIVE framework, based on Organisational theory, into commercial games. The objective of our proposal is to provide game AI developers with a methodology and tools to model gaming scenarios using social structures.
