INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT ATTRIBUTE SETTING

摘要

A method of controlling, and apparatus for, an interactive entertainment system, in which user input influences the path taken through a narrative branch structure (90). Features of the narrative are assigned a respective attribute store containing an attribute value (80-83) and, for at least some paths of the narrative (XA,AB,AC,CD), one or more of the attribute values are altered. At least one branch point (E) of the narrative has conditional access (Y) and default paths (N) leading therefrom, with access being enabled or denied on the basis of one or more current attribute values.
