Implementation of Millenson's model of emotions in a game environment

Abstract

Emotions, arguably, impact our perception and decision-making. Modelling emotions and emotional responses in non-player characters is an active field of investigation. Our work centres on the implementation of psychological models through fuzzy logic, as a way of informing agent decisionmaking in video games. This paper presents an emotion model proposed by Millenson, and the demonstration of this model in a game environment. We shall include an outline of the psychological background to our work, the specifics of the implementation, and some discussion of our conclusions.
