Abstract

Game characters provide a path to connect and interact between game designers and players through the personality. We need to study the personality design of game characters considering the interaction. The character's personality is formed through 'design elements' and 'personality factors' according to the intention of the game designers. It is formed to the ultimate character's personality by interacting with the player's personality factor. 14 design elements and 40 personality factors were extracted. This study suggests a 'game character personality model' considering the interaction.

게임 캐릭터는 성격을 통해서 게임 디자이너와 플레이어 사이를 연결해주고 상호작용하는 통로가 되므로 상호작용을 고려한 게임 캐릭터 성격 디자인에 대한 연구가 이루어질 필요가 있다. 캐릭터의 성격은 게임 디자이너의 의도에 따라 '디자인요소'와 '성격요인'을 통해 형성된다. 이후 플레이어의 '성격요인'과 상호작용하여 최종적인 캐릭터의 성격이 만들어진다. 게임 캐릭터의 성격을 표현하는 '디자인요소'는 선행 연구를 통해 행동 4개, 말 4개, 외양 6개로 14항목을, '성격요인'은 전문가 인터뷰를 통해 행동 12개, 말, 27개, 외양 1개로 40항목을 추출했다. 이를 통해 상호작용을 고려한 게임 캐릭터 성격 모델을 제시했다.
