-[[Goal-Driven Personal Development]] is created by providing [[Agents]] with goals whose success, failure, and progress can be measured through the game state of a game and that build upon each other in some form. For [[Agents]] controlled by humans, this is typically done through letting them select [[Quests]] and making sure that some one these build upon the previous ones to create chains which makes the development over time noticeable. For [[Algorithmic Agents]], [[Quests]] can be used also but typically these need to be more granular in detail and have much more encoding of benefits and requirements available &ndash; this to a level which would make them very unlike the [[Quests]] presented to human players.

+Players have goals in games. However, diegetic character can have goals regarding the game world or may actually need them to be believable as characters. When these characters can develop over time through choosing new goals as they reach closure points regarding their old goals, they can be said to have [[Goal-Driven Personal Development]].
 Note: ''[[Goal-Driven Personal Development]] looks at goals defined through making a game state fulfill certain criteria and therefore excludes many other types of goals agents playing games can have, e.g. social or experiential ones.''
