Abstract

A story is considered to be a sequence of events. So-called linear storytelling means that authors tell these events in a designed order. The sources for events can be actions of agents or other circumstances. In Interactive Storytelling, authors need to conceive events in a different, indirect way. This concept is outlined and illustrated with examples from authoring. The goal is to find a general structure for the conception of interactive story events.
