- Abstract: Dialogue-based Role Playing Games (RPGs) require powerful storytelling. The narratives of these may take years to write and typically involve a large creative team. In this work, we demonstrate the potential of large generative text models to assist this process. \textbf{GENEVA}, a prototype tool, generates a rich narrative graph with branching and reconverging storylines that match a high-level narrative description and constraints provided by the designer. A large language model (LLM), GPT-4, is used to generate the branching narrative and to render it in a graph format in a two-step process. We illustrate the use of GENEVA in generating new branching narratives for four well-known stories under different contextual constraints. This tool has the potential to assist in game development, simulations, and other applications with game-like properties.

- Are Large Language Models Capable of Generating Human-Level Narratives? [114.34140090869175]
This paper investigates the capability of LLMs in storytelling, focusing on narrative development and plot progression.
We introduce a novel computational framework to analyze narratives through three discourse-level aspects.
We show that explicit integration of discourse features can enhance storytelling, as is demonstrated by over 40% improvement in neural storytelling.

Large Language Models (LLMs) drive the behavior of virtual characters, allowing plots to emerge from interactions between characters and their environments.
We propose a novel plot creation workflow that mediates between a writer's authorial intent and the emergent behaviors from LLM-driven character simulation.
The process creates "living stories" that dynamically adapt to various game world states, resulting in narratives co-created by the author, character simulation, and player.

Story visualization aims to generate realistic and coherent images based on a storyline.
Current models adopt a frame-by-frame architecture by transforming the pre-trained text-to-image model into an auto-regressive manner.
We propose a bidirectional, unified, and efficient framework, namely StoryImager.

In particular, we pre-extracted the topic information of stories from both visual and linguistic perspectives.

We introduce NarrativePlay, a novel system that allows users to role-play a fictional character and interact with other characters in narratives in an immersive environment.
We leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate human-like responses, guided by personality traits extracted from narratives.
NarrativePlay has been evaluated on two types of narratives, detective and adventure stories, where users can either explore the world or improve their favorability with the narrative characters through conversations.

We focus on a novel, yet challenging task of generating a coherent image sequence based on a given storyline, denoted as open-ended visual storytelling.
We propose a learning-based auto-regressive image generation model, termed as StoryGen, with a novel vision-language context module.
We show StoryGen can generalize to unseen characters without any optimization, and generate image sequences with coherent content and consistent character.

Continuation [76.44802273236081]
We develop a model StoryDALL-E for story continuation, where the generated visual story is conditioned on a source image.
We show that our retro-fitting approach outperforms GAN-based models for story continuation and facilitates copying of visual elements from the source image.
Overall, our work demonstrates that pretrained text-to-image synthesis models can be adapted for complex and low-resource tasks like story continuation.
