• Abstract: Procedural Content Generation (PCG) and Procedural Content Generation via Machine Learning (PCGML) have been used in prior work for generating levels in various games. This paper introduces Content Augmentation and focuses on the subproblem of level inpainting, which involves reconstructing and extending video game levels. Drawing inspiration from image inpainting, we adapt two techniques from this domain to address our specific use case. We present two approaches for level inpainting: an Autoencoder and a U-net. Through a comprehensive case study, we demonstrate their superior performance compared to a baseline method and discuss their relative merits. Furthermore, we provide a practical demonstration of both approaches for the level inpainting task and offer insights into potential directions for future research.

  Generation of stroke-based non-photorealistic imagery is an important problem in the computer vision community. Previous methods have been limited to datasets with little variation in position, scale and saliency of the foreground object. We propose a Semantic Guidance pipeline with 1) a bi-level painting procedure for learning the distinction between foreground and background brush strokes at training time.

  We investigate how reinforcement learning can be used to train level-designing agents in games. By seeing the design problem as a sequential task, we can use reinforcement learning to learn how to take the next action. This approach can be used when few or no examples exist to train from, and the trained generator is very fast.
