Automated Let's Play Commentary

Let's Plays of video games represent a relatively unexplored area for experimental AI in games. In this short paper, we discuss an approach to generate automated commentary for Let's Play videos, drawing on convolutional deep neural networks. We focus on Let's Plays of the popular game Minecraft. We compare our approach and a prior approach and demonstrate the generation of automated, artificial commentary.

Towards Automated Let's Play Commentary

We introduce the problem of generating Let's Play-style commentary of gameplay video via machine learning. We propose an analysis of Let's Play commentary and a framework for building such a system. To test this framework we build an initial, naive implementation, which we use to interrogate the assumptions of the framework. We demonstrate promising results towards future Let's Play commentary generation.
