摘要

在当代电子游戏已经成为我们日常生活重要的组成部分。与之相对的是电子游戏的叙事仍然存在诸多不足之处,叙事和游戏交互之间的冲突难以解决,这让电子游戏在叙事方面的潜力无法发挥。对于诸多商业游戏,这限制了他们产品的覆盖范围。寻找一种既尊重电子游戏本身的交互性特点又能提供丰富的叙事体验的方法对于下一代游戏有十分大的价值。 涌现(Emergency)是一种解释复杂系统中自生成新颖结果的思想,这种思想被广泛应用在数学,经济学生态学和计算机科学等领域。涌现的理论同样可以被应用在电子游戏这一复杂系统中,人们发现,在一些游戏中会自生成有叙事品质的内容,这被称为涌现叙事(Emergent Narrative)。本文讨论了电子游戏中的涌现叙事,并对此类叙事的特点与设计方法进行了研究和总结。 在此基础上,也对已有的涌现叙事游戏的设计进行了反思,并在此基础上进行调节设计了一种涌现叙事游戏,这种游戏能为玩家提供了一种优化的叙事体验。通过对涌现叙事模式的优化,有助于得到更好的叙事体验,但仍需进一步的跨学科研究,在集合了计算机科学,叙事学,及游戏学的多方努力才能让涌现叙事进入下一个阶段。涌现叙事并非解决交互与叙事的矛盾的万能药,但它已经向我们展示了一种未来,在那里我们可以在游戏中自由的将现实世界拆分和重组,从不同的角度去经历故事,理解世界。

In modern times, video games have become an important part of our life. In contrast, the narrative of video games still has many shortcomings, the conflict between narrative and gameplay interaction is hard to resolve, witch leaves the narrative potential of Video Games unfulfilled. For many commercial games, this limits the reach of their products. It is of great value for the next generation games to find a way that not only respects the interactive characteristics of video games but also provides rich narrative experience. Emergence is an idea used in mathematics, economic , ecology, and computer science to explain the self-generating novel and coherent structures of complex systems. Emergence theory can also be applied to the complex system of video games, where it has been found that some games generate Narrative content, which is called Emergent Narrative. In this paper, the emergence narrative in video games is discussed, and the characteristics and design methods of such narrative are studied and summarized. The author also reflects on the design of emergent narrative game, And designed an optimized emergent narrative , which can provide a more dramatic narrative experience for the players. Emergent narrative is not a panacea for the conflict between interaction and narrative, but it has shown us a future where we are free to split and recombine the rules in games and experience the story from different angles, understanding the world.
