Abstract

In this paper, we propose an analysis method that categorizes the Core that essential behaviors in game, the Primary that solves the game problem, and the Secondary that helps the Core and the Primary. The proposed method can analyze the genre similarity and characteristics of the game, the richness of the content, and the proficiency level of the game. case study were conducted to confirm whether the analysis items were consistent with the objective game experience. The results of this study are expected to be helpful in improving game design ability.

게임분석 방법에 대한 다양한 연구들이 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 게임의 필수적인 행동의 Core, 게임 문제를 해결하는 행동의 Primary, Core와 Primary를 도와주는 행동의 Secondary로 분류하는 분석 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 게임의 장르적 유사성 및 특징, 콘텐츠의 풍부함, 숙련 난이도를 분석할 수 있다. 사례분석과 사례 조사를 진행하여 분석 사항이 객관적 게임 경험과 일치하는지 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 게임 기획 단계에서 유사 게임과 비교하면서 개발을 진행해나가는데 응용될 수 있을 것이며, 이러한 과정을 통해 게임 기획력 향상 및 경쟁력 있는 게임 개발에 도움될 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.
