Abstract

In this paper we describe Answery, a rule-based system that
allows authors to specify game characters' background stories in natural
language. The system parses these background stories, applies transfor-
mation rules to turn them into semantic content, and generates dialogue
during gameplay by posing it as a question-answering problem. By the
means of simple categorization combined with rule inference engine, our
system can generate answers eciently. Our initial pilot study shows that
this approach is promising.
