초록

본 연구는, 기존의 저비용 모바일 게임개발 사례를 근간으로, 3명의 개발인원, 4개월의 개발기간이라는 연구의 지향점을 두고 진행된 분석연구로, 소규모, 단기간 조건하에서 게임제작에 필수적인 업무 간 협업과정을 단계별로 기록, 효율적 게임개발의 필수요소들을 검증하였다. 선행연구로 개발인원의 업무적 책임역량을 이론적으로 고찰한 후, 본문에서 단기간 제작사례를 바탕으로 제작자의 입장에서 효과적인 제작 과정을 분석, 과정상의 핵심요소를 제시하고, 사용성 검증을 위하여 개발자들의 피드백을 추가적으로 첨부함으로서, 소규모 인원에 의한 단기간 게임개발의 장, 단점 및 보완사항이 연구결과로 제시되었다는 점에서, 본 연구가 소규모 개발사에게 좋은 가이드라인이 될 것으로 판단된다.

This study is an analytical case study focusing on 'low-budget' mobile game development centered on both short-term development and small-scale collaboration. This study set up the assumption of four months as development period limited by three developers along with step by step productional documentation. In the previous study, we set up the responsibilities of the development personnels to analyze the effective process of the practical production. Furthermore, the study analyzed the usability verification of both advantages and disadvantages for conducting the quantitative survey with developer's feedbacks. The study is to provide the essential guideline for 'low-budget' development group with effective pipeline.
