Abstract

This paper describes the design of SeekWhence, a retrospective analysis tool for gameplay session. SeekWhence is a new addition to the Cicero AI-assisted game design tool, which is built on top of the Video Game Description Language (VGDL) and the General Video Game Framework (GVG-AI). With SeekWhence, designers can prototype their games and record gameplay sessions simulated by agents or human players. They can go back and forth on every frame of the recorded session, analyzing it step by step and import it into their current project to edit it. This paper explains the technical details of SeekWhence and gives examples of its usage.
