Mech-Elites: Illuminating the Mechanic Space of GVGAI
This paper introduces a fully automatic method of mechanic illumination for general video game level generation. Using the Constrained MAP-Elites algorithm and the GVG-AI framework, this system generates the simplest tile based levels that contain specific sets of game mechanics and also satisfy playability constraints. We apply this method to illuminate mechanic space for $4$ different games in GVG-AI: Zelda, Solarfox, Plants, and RealPortals.

Illuminating Mario Scenes in the Latent Space of a Generative Adversarial Network
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are quickly becoming a ubiquitous approach to procedurally generating video game levels. While GAN generated levels are stylistically similar to human-authored examples, human desig…

We present a new concept called Game Mechanic Alignment theory as a way to organize game mechanics through the lens of systemic rewards and agential motivations. By disentangling player and systemic influences, mechanics…
Generating and Blending Game Levels via Quality-Diversity in the Latent Space of a Variational Autoencoder
Several works have demonstrated the use of variational autoencoders (VAEs) for generating levels in the style of existing games and blending levels across different games. Further, quality-diversity (QD) algorithms have …
