초록

국내 스마트폰 이용률이 증가함에 따라 모바일 게임의 발전 속도도 빨라지고 있지만, 시장 규모가 커짐에 따라 경쟁이 심화되는 현상이 나타나고 있다. 이러한 모바일 게임 시장에서 게임을 성공시키기 위한 요소 중 하나로 UI를 제시하고 있는데, 이러한 모바일 게임 UI 설계 시 이전에 기능과 심미적 표현, 기능중심디자인과 정보 전달과 더불어 사용자의 경험을 설계하는 측면에서 접근되어야 한다는 주장이 제시되었다. 본 논문에서는 UX요소 중 경험을 이용해 효과적인 모바일 RPG의 로비 layout을 제시하였다. Ernest Adams와 Andrew Rollings의 레이아웃 분류 방법을 통해 google play 누적매출 순위 20위 내 모바일 RPG의 9개를 선정해 로비 layout을 분석한 결과 모바일 RPG장르의 첫 시장 흥행을 이끌었던 게임의 로비 layout이 이후 출시되어 흥행한 게임의 기준이 되었다는 결과가 나왔다. 이는 기존 RPG를 이용했던 경험에 의해 낮은 진입장벽과 학습이 불필요 하다는 점에서 이용자가 이전에 이용하였던 게임과 유사하게 느끼는 로비 layout이 효과적이라고 해석할 수 있다. 향후 연구에서는 RPG 이외의 다른 장르에 관한 최적의 UX를 측정할 수 있는 연구가 진행된다면 넓은 장르의 공통적인 layout을 도출해낼 수 있을 것이다.

Growing smartphone usage in South Korea has also accelerated the pace of development of mobile games, but competition is intensifying as the market grows. As one of the factors for the success of the game in this mobile game market, UI has been presented, suggesting that the design of such mobile game UI should be approached in terms of designing the user's experience, along with its function, aesthetic expression, function-oriented design and information delivery before. In this paper, we propose an effective lobby layout of mobile RPG using experience among UX factors. Through the layout classification of Ernest Adams and Andrew Rollings, we selected 9 mobile RPGs in the 20th place of google play cumulative sales rankings and analyzed the layout of the lobby. As a result, the lobby layout of the game, which led the first market success of the mobile RPG genre, The result was that it became the standard of the boxed game. It can be interpreted that the lobby layout, which is similar to the game used previously by the user, is effective because low entry barriers and learning are unnecessary due to the experience of using the existing RPG. Future studies may produce a common layout of a broad genre if studies are conducted to measure the optimum UX for other genres than RPG.
