“…Again, inter-disciplinary studies seem useful; support for standardisation activities that would allow reuse of materials across different run-time systems would also be sensible. Some fields have produced greater cohesion by running competitions involving a standard benchmark problem or game engine, and the use of a common story -Little Red Cap -in authoring workshop [44] suggests this should also be pursued. Public availability of data on which narrative learning algorithms could be tried out may also be a worthwhile activity.…”

Abstract. This paper gives an overview of the UK network RIDERSResearch in Interactive Drama Environments, Role-Play and Story-telling, running for 36 months from September 2011. It discusses the three central themes of RIDERS: theoretical work on the conflict between interactivity and narrative content, problems, issues and tools relating to authoring, and directions in evaluation. It gives a brief overview of the current position in each of these areas and suggests how RIDERS activity might be able to contribute to them. Finally it summarises the overall RIDERS programme of activity.

“…It is aimed at an experience of an artifact that requires the execution of software constituting a dynamic story engine, which controls the unfolding of drama. This rather technical perspective is one of the main challenges that have recently been discussed at Interactive Storytelling conferences [14]. Dynamic story engines are complex software, equipped with Artificial Intelligence algorithms capable of reacting meaningfully to an interacting user, while maintaining a storyline model incorporated within the system.…”

Abstract. Authoring is still considered a bottleneck in successful Interactive Storytelling and Drama. The claim for intuitive authoring tools is high, especially for tools that allow storytellers and artists to define dynamic content that can be run with an AI-based story engine. We explored two concrete authoring processes in depth, using various Interactive Storytelling prototypes, and have provided feedback from the practical steps. The result is a presentation of general issues in authoring Interactive Storytelling, rather than of particular problems with a specific system that could be overcome by 'simply' designing the right interface. Priorities for future developments are also outlined.

Workshop and Panel AbstractAt TIDSE 2006, we conducted a pre-conference demo workshop [1] that addressed the issue of developing accessible solutions for the creation of interactive storytelling artworks and applications. As a principle of the workshop, participants demonstrated their authoring systems using a shared story: the Grimm's fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. They were allowed to change and adapt the initial story in order to meet the underlying technical philosophy of their system, and in order to introduce interactivity. This exercise quickly made obvious that a) -not surprisingly -there are several ways and strategies to make a story interactive, and b) that the creative approaches suggested by these systems differ fundamentally, making it hard to get an integrated picture of 'Interactive Storytelling' from a creator's point of view.The comparative approach of this 'hands-on' workshop prompted vivid discussions, and provided a platform to even explain some cryptic algorithms to a broader audience than only to A.I. researchers. Because of the encouraging results, the concept of the initial workshop is revived at Interactive Storytelling '08. In this second edition, in addition to tool demonstrations in a workshop, a plenary panel with brief presentations is organized. It provides a quick overview of showcases in current stateof-the-art authoring systems and creation methods.The questions answered and topics discussed by each presenter of a tool are:• Tool Architecture: Describe particular features of your approach or your technology for Interactive Storytelling! • Storyworld Concept: Describe an outline of your particular adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood, including the role of the user / player! • Example Scene: Describe in more detail one example scene of the conceived storyworld that is characteristic for your approach! • Creation Process: Describe how an author uses your tools to create exactly that example scene! The results are discussed further on in the form of a weblog [2].
