M maker2 Idea Meeting by EN-AI-driven Mario Course Design

Example

Generating a course idea that focuses on underwater challenges with puzzle elements.

Scenario

When a user seeks to create an underwater level but wants to include elements that are not commonly found in such levels, the AI convenes its virtual panel of experts. Each expert, with a unique persona and specialization, contributes different ideas—ranging from enemy placements that create puzzles to solve, to using water currents strategically for a unique gameplay experience.

Example

Creating a level with an emphasis on cooperative gameplay.

Scenario

For users interested in designing levels that require two players to work together to progress, the AI provides tailored suggestions that incorporate mechanisms and level designs that facilitate cooperation, such as puzzles that can only be solved with two characters, or paths that require simultaneous actions to unlock.

Example

Improving an existing course to enhance player engagement and challenge.

Scenario

When a user has a draft of a level but feels it lacks engaging elements or proper challenge balancing, the AI analyzes the level's structure and gameplay flow. It then suggests adjustments like altering enemy types or placements, adding or removing platforms, and introducing timing-based challenges to enhance the overall player experience.
