- 指出现有技术在音乐质量与游戏集成中的核心挑战
- 面向开发者、作曲家提供可落地的研究方向
程序化音乐生成（PMG）是通过算法为视频游戏自动生成音乐内容的新兴领域。从简单的规则系统到先进的机器学习方法，PMG有望显著提升开发效率，提供更丰富的音乐体验并增强玩家沉浸感。然而，学术原型常因新颖性、可靠性与资源分配等优先级差异，与实际应用脱节。本文通过系统综述当前学术与应用领域的PMG技术，提出双维度分类体系；通过对比分析，识别出算法实现、音乐质量及游戏集成方面的关键研究挑战；最后提出未来研究方向，强调任务导向与上下文感知设计、更全面的质量评估方法，以及研究工具的更好整合，为希望推进游戏环境中PMG的开发者、作曲家与研究人员提供可操作的洞见。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Procedural Music Generation (PMG) is an emerging field that algorithmically creates music content for video games. By leveraging techniques from simple rule-based approaches to advanced machine learning algorithms, PMG has the potential to significantly improve development efficiency, provide richer musical experiences, and enhance player immersion. However, academic prototypes often diverge from applications due to differences in priorities such as novelty, reliability, and allocated resources. This paper bridges the gap between research and applications by presenting a systematic overview of current PMG techniques in both fields, offering a two-aspect taxonomy. Through a comparative analysis, this study identifies key research challenges in algorithm implementation, music quality and game integration. Finally, the paper outlines future research directions, emphasising task-oriented and context-aware design, more comprehensive quality evaluation methods, and improved research tool integration to provide actionable insights for developers, composers, and researchers seeking to advance PMG in game contexts.
