Guidelines

The goal of this thesis is to create a software system that generates short detective-like stories procedurally. The task of the system is to provide a consistent branching narrative that provides a certain amount of freedom to a player. Internally, the system should be based on multi-agent design with centralized regulation and the application of the CSP methodology. The system will be integrated with the Twine story editor.
