Variational autoencoders (VAEs) have been used in prior works for generating and blending levels from different games. To add controllability to these models, conditional VAEs (CVAEs) were recently shown capable of generating output that can be modified using labels specifying desired content, albeit working with segments of levels and platformers exclusively. We expand these works by using CVAEs for generating whole platformer and dungeon levels, and blending levels across these genres. We show that CVAEs can reliably control door placement in dungeons and progression direction in platformer levels. Thus, by using appropriate labels, our approach can generate whole dungeons and platformer levels of interconnected rooms and segments respectively as well as levels that blend dungeons and platformers. We demonstrate our approach using The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man and Lode Runner.
Prior research has shown variational autoencoders (VAEs) to be useful for generating and blending game levels by learning latent representations of existing level data. We build on such models by exploring the level design affordances and application
Variational autoencoders (VAEs) have been shown to be able to generate game levels but require manual exploration of the learned latent space to generate outputs with desired attributes. While conditional VAEs address this by allowing generation to b
Existing methods of level generation using latent variable models such as VAEs and GANs do so in segments and produce the final level by stitching these separately generated segments together. In this paper, we build on these methods by training VAEs
Previous work explored blending levels from existing games to create levels for a new game that mixes properties of the original games. In this paper, we use Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) for improving upon such techniques. VAEs are artificial neur
Procedural content generation via machine learning (PCGML) has demonstrated its usefulness as a content and game creation approach, and has been shown to be able to support human creativity. An important facet of creativity is combinational creativit
