I worked on believable agent behavior in interactive narratives. I proposed to combine models of belief, intentionality, emotion, and personality into strong-story narrative planning.
I have developed several games using Unity and C# and I have used some of them in human subject studies using Amazon's Mechanical Turk.
I have developed Camelot, a modular customizable virtual environment that can be controlled using an independent external program written in any programming language. Students can use Camelot to practice programming and software engineering and see their code come to life as a 3D interactive narrative without any prior game engine knowledge. AI researchers can use Camelot to present their narratives to human subjects without the concern of implementing a 3D presentation layer from scratch. Camelot, its extensive documentation, and tutorial videos are available at http://cs.uky.edu/~sgware/projects/camelot/.
