Prospect Theory based NPC Decision Making Model on Dynamic Terrain Analysis  

Lee, Dong Hoon (Dept. of Game, Div. of Digital Content, Dongseo University)
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a NPC decision making model based on Prospect Theory which tries to model real-life choice, rather than optimal decision. For this purpose, we analyse the problems of reference point setting, diminishing sensitivity and loss aversion which are known as limitations of the utility theory and then apply these characteristics into the decision making in game. Dynamic Terrain Analysis is utilized to evaluate the proposed model and experimental result shows the method have effects on inducing diverse personality and emergent behavior on NPC.
