ScriptEase for Neverwinter Nights

"Making a module for a game like BioWare's Neverwinter Nights is a new way of telling a story, and has its own set of challenges. Instead of readers, you have players who want to feel as though they actively participate in the story. One way to do this is to present your players with a world that they interact with, instead of one they just pass through. ScriptEase is a tool designed to complement Bioware's Aurora Toolset. With Aurora, you construct the world the players will adventure in, and with ScriptEase you bring it to life."

"ScriptEase is being developed by researchers from two research groups in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta, the Games group and the Software Systems group. The goal of the ScriptEase project is to support module builders (storytellers) and game designers in automatically generating scripts for computer role-playing stories, without programming."
