Abstract

The procedural generation of levels in video games has been studied mainly to reduce the burden on producers. In recent years, methods based on deep learning have been attracting attention. In level generations with deep learning, GAN-based methods have achieved some success in tile-based video games, but the preparation of the dataset has been an issue. In this study, we investigate a method to acquire a model that can generate various levels by learning a GAN from only a small amount of data. It was confirmed that a greater variety and lower playability of levels can be generated than with conventional methods by quantitative evaluation of the levels generated by the proposed methods. In addition, the model learned by the proposed method can generate levels that reflect the objectives more strongly than the conventional method by using CMA-ES to search for latent variables.
