tile2tile: Learning Game Filters for Platformer Style Transfer
We present tile2tile, an approach for style transfer between levels of tile-based platformer games. Our method involves training models that translate levels from a lower-resolution sketch representation based on tile affordances to the original tile representation for a given game. This enables these models, which we refer to as filters, to translate level sketches into the style of a specific game. Moreover, by converting a level of one game into sketch form and then translating the resulting sketch into the tiles of another game, we obtain a method of style transfer between two games. We use Markov random fields and autoencoders for learning the game filters and apply them to demonstrate style transfer between levels of Super Mario Bros, Kid Icarus, Mega Man and Metroid.

On Linking Level Segments
An increasingly common area of study in procedural content generation is the creation of level segments: short pieces that can be used to form larger levels. Previous work has used basic concatenation to form these large…
Gram-Elites: N-Gram Based Quality-Diversity Search
In the context of procedural content generation via machine learning (PCGML), quality-diversity (QD) algorithms are a powerful tool to generate diverse game content. A branch of QD uses genetic operators to generate cont…
DiversityExploring Level Blending across Platformers via Paths and Affordances
Techniques for procedural content generation via machine learning (PCGML) have been shown to be useful for generating novel game content. While used primarily for producing new content in the style of the game domain use…
Lode Enhancer: Level Co-creation Through Scaling
We explore AI-powered upscaling as a design assistance tool in the context of creating 2D game levels. Deep neural networks are used to upscale artificially downscaled patches of levels from the puzzle platformer game Lo…
Automated Playtesting of Matching Tile Games
Matching tile games are an extremely popular game genre. Arguably the most popular iteration, Match-3 games, are simple to understand puzzle games, making them great benchmarks for research. In this paper, we propose dev…
