Abstract:Generative gameplay requires more than immediate responses to player this http URL should have persistent consequences, while the generated world should act according to its own state and rules, shaping the player’s situation and subsequent choices. Video generation captures local dynamics, but limited history, partially observed game state, and the need for contextual behavior decisions make such interactions difficult to sustain through audiovisual prediction alone. We introduce rig (Reciprocally Interactive Generation), a framework for reciprocal interaction in generative gameplay. rig combines persistent state and configurable rules, contextual interaction reasoning, and action-conditioned audiovisual generation. Together, these components make interaction consequences and actor behavior jointly determine generated content while maintaining consistency between game state and visible outcomes. We construct a Xonotic gameplay dataset to train an audiovisual generator for learning dynamics and interactions. Further post-training enables rigarena, an interactive generative first-person shooter (FPS) prototype. Experiments demonstrate more reliable combat outcomes and reciprocal interaction between the player and the generated world. Project page: this https URL.
