Puck: A Slow and Personal Automated Game Designer

Abstract

In this paper we introduce Puck, a new automated game design system which combines continuous creativity with an exhaustive approach to content generation. We explain the motivation behind Puck, and in particular its focus on users and small communities. Puck is, to our knowledge, the first automated game designer that can be downloaded and individualise itself through testing and design. We then describe the engineering and structure of the system, detail some initial outputs and evaluation of the system, and future work.
