Procedural content generation (PCG) is an increasingly important area of technology within modern commercial game development. Current research on game AI identifies the personalization of gaming experience via player profiling/modeling, and the real-time adaptation of the game according to player needs as important steps towards meaningful PCG. This talk will provide a taxonomy of PCG algorithms and introduce a PCG framework, named Experience-Driven Procedural Content Generation (EDPCG), which is driven by computational models of player experience. The presentation includes a discussion over the main components of the approach and frames ongoing research at the Center for Computer Games Research, ITU Copenhagen, under EDPCG.
