Abstract

Serious games are developed not only as a means of enjoying fun, but also as a special purpose in various fields such as education, medicine, public relations, and management. Such a serious game should have the effect of meeting the specific purpose with the game of the general game. However, it is difficult to show both game performance and effectiveness. This study examines game performance and effectiveness of serious game, and suggests a method of finding model of superior serious game. In the experiment, we examined the game performance of some commercial and general games using the proposed method and confirmed the meaningful results.

기능성게임은 단순히 재미를 즐기기 위한 수단이 아닌 교육, 의료, 홍보, 경영 등 다양한 분야에서 특별한 목적을 의도로 개발되어 활용된다. 이러한 기능성게임은 일반적인 게임이 가지는 게임성과 함께 특별한 목적에 부합하는 효과성을 가지고 있어야 한다. 하지만, 게임성과 효과성을 모두 나타내는 것은 어려운 일이다. 본 연구는 기능성게임의 게임성과 효과성을 살펴보고 우수한 기능성 게임의 모델을 찾는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 실험에서는 상용화되어 서비스중인 몇몇 기능성게임과 일반게임의 게임성과 효과성을 살펴보았고, 의미 있는 결과를 확인하였다.
