Abstract<\/h3>\n

This paper reports on an ongoing attempt to develop an author-friendly approach to procedural game dialogue generation. Various affordances of the experimental authoring tool Expressionist are appropriated to allow non-computer scientist authors to design virtual characters\u2019 discourse and reasoning potential. The paper describes how the Hammurabi game project makes use of metadata-driven context free grammars to author virtual characters that can generate not only discourse but also context-relevant decisions. The author-friendliness and generativity of the approach is discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n
