Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between control and creative freedom in video games. Based on the theory of emergent complex systems, this article intend to demonstrate that the game is not free, however, the unpredictability is avoided by techniques of artificial intelligence programming, but the uncertainty about actions and their results is maintained. Thus, the narrative tension and meaningful participation are guaranteed and the player's interest is preserved.
