Abstract

A game summary may be produced using an event log of in-game events and corresponding game content based on game data associated with a gameplay session(s). The event log may include metadata that indicates times of in-game events and associations between in-game events and game content items that capture the in-game events. A user may interact with in-game events with temporal context, allowing for more informed selections and a better understanding of the gameplay session. Using the event log, a game summary may provide such features as a timeline to convey relative timing of in-game events, a list of in-game events, a map of a virtual environment of the game that is temporally annotated based on in-game events, game status information, and statistical and performance information. A game summary may show trends over time and/or game sessions and convey information for selected sets of players, such as teams.
