Exciting to announce that the second edition of the PCGML textbook by Sam Snodgrass, Adam Summerville and myself is online! This version is a major update of the first, with a new chapter on GenAI and updates on the last two years of research. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Be sure to chat with @sebastianberns about this super cool work if you're at CHI this week! Had a lot of fun with this team looking into how human perceptions align (or don't) with common similarity measures used in PCG and other domains.

Tired of AI hype but interested in reading about how machine learning (generative AI if you like) can be used to generate content in games? Well do I have the book for you!

New paper on Procedural Content Generation via Knowledge Transformation (PCG-KT) from @riffsircar, me, @SamPSnodgrass, @Autumnsburg, Tiago Machado, and @gillianmsmith. We propose a framework for transforming knowledge between domains, allowing for generation for unseen games!

From subtweet to published book in ~2 years? That's not a bad turnaround. A PCGML textbook now exists! I had a great time writing this with @MatthewGuz and @Autumnsburg And I'm really hoping this book helps bring more people into the field! Link to book: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Well, well, well. Look who got a title bump. I'll still be bringing PCGML to game devs, and exploring new ways that PCGML can impact game design, and improve bots and testing. Now with some seniority sprinkled in! Looking forward to growing alongside @modl_ai in my new role

Last month we tried our first Twitter spaces and we are ready for round2 with @holmgard @risi1979 and @AIandGames Listen to the experts argue about behavioural learning and it’s implication for Player bots in Video games.
