Reinforcement learning frameworks used in text-to-3D generation can be adapted to enhance the realism and complexity of procedural content generation in video games.

Motivation

Procedural content generation (PCG) in video games often struggles with balancing complexity and realism, which are crucial for immersive experiences. Leveraging RL techniques from text-to-3D generation might address these challenges by optimizing content dynamically based on player interactions.

Proposed Method

Develop an RL-based PCG system that uses hierarchical optimization to generate game levels, characters, and objects. The system will leverage a reward ensemble strategy to evaluate the realism and complexity of the generated content based on player feedback in real-time. Conduct user studies with game developers to assess the impact on creativity and efficiency compared to traditional PCG methods.

Expected Contribution

This approach could significantly enhance the quality and variety of procedurally generated game content, leading to more engaging player experiences and streamlining the game development process.

Required Resources

Access to game development platforms, datasets of existing game assets, RL experts, and computational resources for training and testing the models.
