Serious Games are incorporating procedural content generation (PCG) to enhance player experience.
A new study introduces a framework for automated evaluation of PCG integration in Serious Games.
The framework utilizes deep reinforcement learning (DRL) game testing agents to assess different versions of PCG in a card game-based SG.
Results show that DRL agents trained on genetic algorithm-based PCG versions outperform those trained on random NPC creation in terms of win rate and training time.
