A Game Engine Layer for the Implementation of Massively Multiplayer On-line Interactive Fiction

In this article we present a game engine layer implemented above the Inform 7 interactive fiction (IF) programming system that allows for the implementation of massively multi-player on-line (MMO) IF games. By using a multiagent system (MAS) approach we show how interaction with dynamic entities like other players, bots or non-player characters (NPCs) can be implemented in IF games allowing for world synchronization over a network. Additionally, we show a proof-of-concept game implemented using the proposed engine and provide guidelines for future research.
