From images to stories: exploring player-driven narratives in games.
This paper presents a method for generating player-driven narratives from visual inputs by exploring the visual analysis capabilities of multimodal large language models. By employing Bartle’s taxonomy of player types—Achievers, Explorers, Socializers, and Killers—our method creates stories that are tailored to different player characteristics. We conducted a fourfold experiment using a set of images extracted from a well-known game, generating distinct narratives for each player type that are aligned with the visual elements of the input images and specific player motivations. By adjusting narrative elements to emphasize achievement for Achievers, exploration for Explorers, social connections for Socializers, and competition for Killers, our system produced stories that adhere to established narratology principles while resonating with the characteristics of each player type. This approach can serve as a helping tool for game designers, offering new insights into how players might engage with game worlds through personalized image-driven narratives.</p

Transformative Museum Experiences
This introductory chapter contextualises and reflects critically on theemerging trends characterising the evolving social role advocated by museums insociety, with an emphasis on museum experiences as vehicles for change or trans-formation. It looks at transformation by adopting a systemic perspective, anchoredin the transformative potential of the experiences that museums offer to visitors, andthen zooming out to turn attention towards the way recent changes in the socio-political and cultural context reverberated in structural and functional changes insidethe museum and connected institutions and communities. The chapter is structuredalong a series of questions, starting by unpacking a rationale for transformativeexperiences and why they are worthy of attention at this particular moment (Why),then focusing on what we mean by transformative experiences in the context ofmuseums (What), on particularities of design approaches and supporting technolo-gies for crafting transformative experiences (How), and closing with reflections onthe meaning and significance of it all, for the museum, the visitor, diverse audiencegroups and society as a whole (For whom and For what). The final part of the Intro-duction then reviews these themes once again, narrating how they are woven in thebook narrative
