• Abstract: The increasing complexity of gameplay mechanisms in modern video games is leading to the emergence of a wider range of ways to play games. The variety of possible play-styles needs to be anticipated by designers, through automated tests. Reinforcement Learning is a promising answer to the need of automating video game testing. To that effect one needs to train an agent to play the game, while ensuring this agent will generate the same play-styles as the players in order to give meaningful feedback to the designers. We present CARMI: a Configurable Agent with Relative Metrics as Input. An agent able to emulate the players play-styles, even on previously unseen levels. Unlike current methods it does not rely on having full trajectories, but only summary data. Moreover it only requires little human data, thus compatible with the constraints of modern video game production. This novel agent could be used to investigate behaviors and balancing during the production of a video game with a realistic amount of training time.

  Game-testing AI agents that learn by interaction with the environment have the potential to mitigate these challenges. This paper proposes an agent design that mainly depends on pixel-based state observations while exploring the environment conditioned on a user's preference. Our agent significantly outperforms state-of-the-art pixel-based game testing agents over exploration coverage and test execution quality when evaluated on a complex open-world environment resembling many aspects of real AAA games.

  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.

  generative AI agents attempt to imitate particular playing behaviors represented as rules, rewards, or human demonstrations. We extend the notion of behavioral procedural personas to cater for player experience, thus examining generative agents that can both behave and experience their game as humans would. Our findings suggest that the generated agents exhibit distinctive play styles and experience responses of the human personas they were designed to imitate.
