Interactive Writing @ GDC

My friend Jeff is at IDT at Georgia Tech and is working on a project with Michael Mateas called DOTCOM. Michael Mateas is a significant researcher in the field of artificial intelligence-based narratives and my friend Jeff highly reccomends me to check him out at GDC. I looked into it and his topics actually sound very cool and relevant to our class: Understanding the Player: Natural Language Processing for Games and Why Isn’t the Game Industry Making Interactive Stories? (with Neil Young and Warren Spector among others!). So to those of us going to GDC next week, we may want to try to find time on our schedules to check one of these out.

You can look at Facade and MM's thesis.
I've already referred to their blog at Grand Text Auto -
Both events look great. Please report!
