Hierarchical Semantic Wave Function Collapse

There are few proposals to improve the interactivity and control of wave function collapse (WFC) in a mixed-initiative setting. Moreover, most WFC algorithm variants operate on an simple, unstructured set of tiles. This limitation on the level of control provided to designers hampers their creative work in various ways. We propose...

miWFC - Designer Empowerment through mixed-initiative Wave Function Collapse

Wave Function Collapse (WFC) is a powerful generative algorithm, able to create locally-similar output based on a single example input. One of the inherent limitations of the original WFC is that it often requires users to understand its inner workings, and possibly make their own ad-hoc mods, to achieve satisfactory results. Besides...

Mixed-initiative story co-creation with TaleMaker

Most storytelling games bring people together to co-create stories. However, they often require considerable creative effort and skills from all players, possibly discouraging less resourceful participants and impairing stories' quality. Moreover, most stories created within these games are usually only kept in players' minds rather than on...
