In mixed-initiative co-creation tasks, wherein a human and a machine jointly create items, it
is important to provide multiple relevant suggestions to the designer. Quality-diversity …

Narratives are a predominant part of games, and their design poses challenges when
identifying, encoding, interpreting, evaluating, and generating them. One way to address this …

Abstract In Mixed-Initiative Co-Creative tools, the human is mostly in control of what will and
can be created, delegating the AI to a more suggestive role instead of a colleague in the co …

Two studies of a human-AI collaborative design tool were carried out in order to understand
the influence design recommendations have on the design process. The tool investigated is …

We study the effects of injecting human-generated designs into the initial population of an
evolutionary robotics experiment, where subsequent population of robots are optimised via …

Game design is a hard and multi-faceted task that intertwines different gameplay mechanics,
audio, level, graphic, and narrative facets. Games' facets are developed in conjunction with …

The primary objective is to explore the scalability of two-dimensional game maps while
preserving certain aesthetical qualities in scaled representations. By either upscaling or …

This work-in-progress paper presents the initial results from a large-scale user study of a
mixed-initiative design tool. A simple mixed-initiative design tool using a mutant shopping …
