Much work has been done by academic researchers as well as game industry designers to achieve more compelling and emotionally rich storytelling in interactive media. Many projects take character-based approaches by allowing the player to act as the main character in the story and by communicating key story elements via software-based non-player characters (NPCs). This paper provides details about an innovative methodology and writer-centric system called the Augmented Conversation Engine. The engine enables authoring for crafting believable interactive conversations with NPC characters.
