    MultiWorldBench: can independently controlled views describe one shared world

    The authors propose MultiWorldBench, a diagnostic Minecraft benchmark for testing whether independently controlled views in a multi-player world model stay consistent with one single persistent shared world; it contains 495 case configurations, seven task suites and ten capabilities.

    Why it matters: With 495 configurations, the paper compares three generative world models against the reference Engine GT on ten capabilities, and the score gaps show where the current weaknesses lie.

    Can AI agents learn their way to the top? AAArena evaluates heuristic learning in a long-running game competition

    The paper proposes the AAArena benchmark, using 12 real adversarial games and 1,920 archived human programs to evaluate agents' learning ability in long-running competitions. Among the evaluated model and tool configurations, Opus5.5 with Claude Code took 6 gold medals, and no configuration could take the remaining 6 human ladders.

    Why it matters: AAArena organizes 12 adversarial games and 1,920 human programs into a competition-style evaluation, which can be used to observe the limits of how agents improve their strategies from limited samples.

    AgentGarten: a code world framework for continually evolving agents

    The paper proposes the AgentGarten framework, which couples simulators and game engines to a shared neural renderer to build real-time interactive virtual environments. The simulation backend maintains persistent world state and executes program-defined interaction rules, while the renderer generates visual observations from structured conditions exported through a unified interface; the neural renderer is adapted from a pretrained video model to take geometry-conditioned input, is distilled with the proposed Adversarial Forcing, and has its inference optimized for real-time interaction.

    Why it matters: The paper wires simulators and game engines into a single neural renderer, and reports learning-efficiency results comparing an agent's 4 rounds of experience with millions of rounds of reinforcement learning.

    Paper proposes Recursive Game Creator, using four recursively iterating components to improve generated game experience

    The paper proposes Recursive Game Creator, an experience-oriented agentic game development framework that uses four components — Designer, Builder, Player and Reviewer — to iterate recursively and push a rough game prototype toward a more replayable work.

    Why it matters: The paper presents the four-component recursive workflow and results on two benchmarks, with 53.2% success rate on strict tasks in GameASG-Bench, a 34.1% improvement over the same-model baseline.
