Player roles are a key element when it comes to the design of asymmetrical multiplayer games like MOBAs or tabletop RPGs. Previous work in Procedural Generation introduced techniques to generate game visuals, music, levels structure, and even game rules but lacks research on player roles. This proposal offers to study the automatic design of new player roles as a complex, multidisciplinary design problem. New roles have to fit in with established content and their different aspects (visuals, lore, gameplay) have to complement each other to express the same meaning across different design domains. Research in this direction would help to create valuable industrial and research tools, bring a new degree of freedom in Procedural generation for Games and ultimately, open the door to new kinds of game experience.

当涉及到像moba或桌面rpg等非对称多人游戏的设计时，玩家角色是一个关键元素。之前关于程序生成的工作介绍了生成游戏视觉效果、音乐、关卡结构甚至游戏规则的技术，但缺乏对玩家角色的研究。本文建议将新玩家角色的自动设计作为一个复杂的多学科设计问题进行研究。新角色必须适应已建立的内容，并且它们的不同方面（游戏邦注：如视觉效果、游戏玩法）必须相互补充，才能在不同的设计领域中表达相同的含义。在这个方向上的研究将有助于创造有价值的工业和研究工具，为游戏的程序生成带来新的自由度，并最终为新的游戏体验打开大门。
