A Framework for Summarizing Game Experiences as Narratives

Online role playing games may be enjoyed periodically for months or years at a time. Players often log onto the game and play for a short time, and then log off for a long period of time before returning to the game, even though events continue in the persistent game world. Providing a summary of events that have occurred while a player was away from the game would help the player maintain game context. In this paper, we present a computational framework that generates a summary from game log messages.
