Contribuições para geração procedural de terrenos: um estudo sobre agentes inteligentes e steering behaviors

Abstract

The video games industry and market show constant growth, and players are demanding more content. Create this content requires time and money investment that, if not well managed, can damage the production of other game elements. Thus, procedural generation presents itself as a solution for creating content without consuming a team’s time and maintaining quality in the final product. This work presents the proposal of analysis about the viability of the application of procedural generation concepts, focused on the creation of terrain, applying software agents with steering behaviors. The execution of experiments presented the possibility of controlling the generation of a terrain heightmap according to the chosen steering behaviors and used parameters.
