• Abstract summary: This paper presents a novel approach to achieving personalization by using large language models. We propose levels based on the gameplay data continuously collected from individual players. Our method has proven viable in a production setting and outperformed levels generated by traditional methods in the probability that a player will not quit the game mid-level.

• Abstract: Procedural content generation uses algorithmic techniques to create large amounts of new content for games at much lower production costs. In newer approaches, procedural content generation utilizes machine learning. However, these methods usually require expensive collection of large amounts of data, as well as the development and training of fairly complex learning models, which can be both extremely time-consuming and expensive. The core of our research is to explore whether we can lower the barrier to the use of personalized procedural content generation through a more practical and generalizable approach with large language models. Matching game content with player preferences benefits both players, who enjoy the game more, and developers, who increasingly depend on players enjoying the game before being able to monetize it. Therefore, this paper presents a novel approach to achieving personalization by using large language models to propose levels based on the gameplay data continuously collected from individual players. We compared the levels generated using our approach with levels generated with more traditional procedural generation techniques. Our easily reproducible method has proven viable in a production setting and outperformed levels generated by traditional methods in the probability that a player will not quit the game mid-level.

  The IDGE project aims to democratize game development by enabling a large language model to follow free-form game rules. We train the IDGE in a curriculum manner that progressively increases the model's exposure to complex scenarios. Our initial progress lies in developing an IDGE for Poker, a universally cherished card game.

  Controlled automated story generation seeks to generate natural language stories satisfying constraints from natural language critiques or preferences. We train a contrastive bi-encoder model to align stories with human critiques, building a general purpose preference model. We further fine-tune the contrastive reward model using a prompt-learning technique to increase story generation robustness.

  Procedurally generated video game content has the potential to drastically reduce the content creation budget of game developers and large studios. However, adoption is hindered by limitations such as slow generation, as well as low quality and diversity of content. We introduce an evolutionary search-based approach for evolving level generators using novelty search to procedurally generate diverse levels in real time.
