Abstract:

This paper introduces Summon Arcane, a 2D pixel-art interactive narrative game integrating AI-driven procedural content generation. Players act as summoners trapped within a mystical book, undertaking six summoning trials to inherit the Summoner’s legacy. The core mechanic involves AI-powered speech-to-text summoning, where players verbally describe creatures to generate pixel-art visuals via Midjourney, processed using OpenCV for artistic consistency. The game also employs ChatGPT API for dynamic battle narration, enhancing interactivity and immersion. This study evaluates the impact of AI on interactive storytelling and procedural content generation in games.
