Abstract

This chapter delves into the complexities of Interactive Digital Narrative (IDN) authoring, highlighting the challenges authors face with current tools and the potential of AI integration. It explores the need for adaptive, open-source authoring environments that can support diverse creative practices. The text discusses the findings from evaluation sessions with IDN authors, revealing their perceptions of AI's role in the authoring process, the usefulness of structural support features like knowledge graphs, and the barriers posed by theoretical terminology. It also examines the authors' resistance to AI-generated narrative content and their preference for AI as an optional, low-intervention assistant. The chapter concludes with insights into the tensions between theoretical models and practical authoring processes, emphasizing the need for tools that evolve alongside the author's process and meet them linguistically and conceptually where they are.
