What is it about?
StoryWorld is a system for procedural narrative in video games, that is driven by events to simulate characters, items and their interactions. Quests are created when a character is unable to fulfill their own desire, so they ask another character for help. The randomness of events, character preferences & memories and more, diversifies the resulting quests. As quests are also linked to desires, believability is addressed.
