• Abstract: This paper presents a review of the status of currencies in video games. The business of video games is a multibillion-dollar industry, and its internal economy design is an important field to investigate. In this study, we have distinguished virtual currencies in terms of game mechanics and virtual currency schema, and we have examined 11 games that have used virtual currencies in a significant way and have provided insight for game designers on the internal game economy by showing tangible examples of game mechanics presented in our model

  The IDGE project aims to democratize game development by enabling a large language model to follow free-form game descriptions and generate game-play processes. We train the IDGE in a curriculum manner that progressively increases its exposure to complex scenarios. Our initial progress lies in developing an IDGE for Poker, which not only supports a wide range of poker variants but also allows for highly individualized new poker games through natural language inputs.

  In-game virtual currencies can invoke inadequate gaming behaviors and additions among players. The market lacks gaming and customer protection regulations to avoid the financial, behavioral, and psychological exploitation of users. This paper presents a conceptual design of an in-game purchasing module that allows the user to observe their real time spendings in relation to virtual currency buying.

  Going beyond Atari games towards training agents in modern games has been prohibitively expensive for the vast majority of the research community. Recent progress in the research, development and open release of large vision models has the potential to amortize some of these costs across the community. We present a systematic study of imitation learning with publicly available visual encoders compared to the typical, task-specific, end-to-end training approach in Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

  We present a Promptable Game Model (PGM) for neural video game simulators. It allows a user to play the game by prompting it with high- and low-level action sequences. Most captivatingly, our PGM unlocks the director's mode, where the game is played by specifying goals for the agents in the form of a prompt. Our method significantly outperforms existing neural video game simulators in terms of rendering quality and unlocks applications beyond the capabilities of the current state of the art.
