Abstract

This study is analytical prototype and usability studies centering on game development for game major in university curriculum by the collaboration of professor and students. The study set up the assumption of successful game development throughout the school curriculum initialized by fifteen weeks of time period. In the previous study, we defined the responsibility of positional personnel, and possibilities of current game majored school from both USA and Korea. The study aimed to analyze the productional guideline for the game development courses by conducting a usability survey from the groups of potential participants.

본 연구는 콘솔 게임개발에 비하여 상대적으로 개발 가능성이 수월한 게임개발 사례를 중심으로, 15주의 대학과정 커리큘럼을 게임개발 기간으로 지정, 교수와 학생 그룹의 수업 적용 활용 가능성을 분석하였다. 이를 위한 선행연구로, 효율성 검증을 위한 개발인원의 업무적 책임역량을 지정하고, 한국과 북미의 게임개발 학과들의 가능성 사례의 검증과정을 조사하였다. 또한 향후 대학 커리큘럼을 통한 단계별 제작 가이드라인의 활용성을 위하여, 게임 프로토타입의 진행과 더불어 학생과 교수 집단을 구분, 참여의사 서베이를 통하여 잠재적 참여자들의 사용성 평가를 진행하였다. 본 연구는 게임개발의 단계별 제작 가이드라인과 활용성을 제시함에 연구의 목적과 의의를 가진다.
