초록

본 연구는 미래의 게임 캐릭터 커스터마이징 시스템에 플레이어의 성격이 보다 깊이 반영될 수 있도록 게임 캐릭터 디자인요소를 정리하고, 모바일 게임과 비디오 게임에서 디자인요소의 중요도를 AHP를 통해 도출하여, 캐릭터 커스터마이징에서 플레이어가 중요하게 판단하는 디자인요소의 차이가 있음을 확인하고, 중요도의 차이를 통해 캐릭터 커스터마이징 개선 방향을 제시했다. 모바일 게임에서는 디자인요소의 외양이 압도적으로 중요하다고 평가된 만큼 외양에 집중하는 것이 좋으며, 비디오 게임에서는 외양이외에도 행동의 중요도가 높게 나타난 만큼 플레이어가 캐릭터의 동작을 선택할 수 있도록 캐릭터 커스터마이징에서 제공할 필요가 있다.

This study was conducted as follows. First, the game character design elements have been arranged so that the player's personality can be reflected in the character customizing. Second, the importance of design elements in mobile games and video games was derived through AHP. Third, through the difference in importance, the direction of character customizing improvement was suggested. External appearance in mobile games and the action in video games is evaluated as overwhelmingly important. Therefore, it is necessary to diversify the appearance in mobile games and the action in video games.
