And speaking of Stéphane*, guess who is the only person representing the games industry on the programme committee for the Narrative AI and Games conference? That's right.

The conference sounds pretty cool:

Papers sought in the following areas, but are not limited to:

• Interactive narrative and virtual storytelling
• Applied AI in games
• Believable synthetic agents for games or narrative
• Agent strategy planning in a games or interactive narrative context
• The application of narrative based games in education
• The use of games as test-beds for research

Go Stéphane! Make this something useful!
