In this paper, we have developed the balance board with electronic devices to use in various fields of remedial and physical balance exercise with interesting game and the functional game. Rehabilitation training using a funny game will be effective for patient's rehabilitation training. A Personal training system uses a balance board with an acceleration sensor and the game controlled by physical balance. To evaluate the operation of the developed system, we developed rehabilitation training game. The proposed game can be applicable to rehabilitation and balance training, and suggested game interface method could use a commercial game with various function through our emulator.

In computer games, the level design and balance of characters are the key features for developing interesting games. Level designers make decision to change the parameters and opponent behaviors in order to avoid the player getting extremely frustrated with the improper level. Generally, opponent behavior is defined by static script, this causes the games to have static difficulty level and static environment. Therefore, it is difficult to keep track of the user playing interest, because a player can easily adapt to changeless repetition. In this paper, we propose a dynamic scripting method that able to maintain the level designers' intention where user enjoys the game by adjusting the opponent behavior while playing the game. The player's countermeasure pattern for dynamic level design is modeled using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). The proposed method is applied to a shooting game, and the experimental results maintain the degree of interest intended by the level designer.

슈팅게임은 플레이어에게 두 가지 목표를 제시한다. 하나는 겉으로 드러난 목적으로 게임의 보스를 처치하여 엔딩을 보는 것이며 다른 하나는 플레이어에게 도전하고자 하는 심리를 자극하는 것으로 게임의 패턴을 파악하고 적응하여 최단시간 내에 클리어하는 것이다. 하지만 플레이어의 게임에 대한 흥미는 슈팅게임의 이동 패턴에 적응하는 순간부터 감소하게 되고 또 다른 패턴을 찾아 다른 게임으로 떠나게 된다. 본 연구는 사용자에게 주어지는 패턴을 유전자 알고리즘을 이용해 다양화하는 방법을 새로이 제안한다. 제안된 시스템을 통하여 게임 디자이너는 적은 양의 디자인으로 다양한 패턴을 쉽게 얻을 수 있다. 이는 최적의 패턴을 위한 밸런스 테스트 기간을 단축시키며, 플레이어에게 다양한 패턴을 제공하여 게임의 수명을 연장하는데 도움이 될 수 있다.

This paper suggests frame of analysis about MMORPG and analyzes three representative games. That frame has seven categories and more divisional analysing items. The 7 categories are community orientation, PK orientation, convenient usability of item, variety of character, balance, convenience of interface, aesthetics of graphic and sound. As a result, We found that Lineage and WOW have many different characters and Ragnarok has the characters in-between Lineage and WOW.

본 논문에서는 사용자의 입장에서 게임 논리와 밸런스를 바탕으로 흥미를 유발할 수 있는 게임 개발의 요구를 고려하여 언리언 엔진 5 기반 하이퍼 FPS 게임의 설계와 구현을 제안한다. FPS 게임 내에도 정통 FPS, 배틀로얄, 그리고 하이퍼 FPS 등 여러 종류가 있는데 그 중 순전히 총으로만 싸우지 않고 캐릭터마다 고유스킬을 사용하여 전투할 수 있는 것이 하이퍼 FPS이다. 제안하는 게임 개발을 위해 다양한 게임엔진 중에서 사용자 친화적인 인터페이스와 비교적 쉬운 작업 흐름을 가지고 있는 언리얼 엔진을 선정하였다. 개발 결과의 테스트를 통해 제안한 게임과 EOS(Epic Online Services) 연동으로 다중 사용자들의 접속과 플레이를 확인하였다.

현재 한국 게임 시장에서 주로 사용되는 비즈니스 모델인 이중 랜덤박스는 게임 내의 밸런스에 영향을 주고 게임의 재미를 더해 주지만 유저와 게임사 간의 갈등도 초래한다. 이에 대한 적절한 해결책을 연구하기 위해 이중 랜덤박스의 종류에 대해서 조사하고 사용자 설문을 통해 랜덤박스에 대한 유저들의 인식과 사용에 대한 생각을 조사한다. 그리고 이를 토대로 게임사와 유저 간 이중 랜덤박스 사용의 타협점을 제안하고자 한다.

Beta-test is a essential step to verify a online-game developing. Through beta-test, we can find out some problems related to game-balancing, game-play, user behaviors and so on. And the game developing can be modified to make up a weak-point. However, a beta-test in online game development is a very time consuming and heavy expense work. Therefore, in this study, the simulation model for growth-balancing and battle among characters was proposed in order to reduce the duration and cost for beta-test. And it was applied to Travia online game successfully.

Interest in Serious Games for Healthcare (SGHs) that can improve health through games is increasing. Digital Therapeutics (DTx) is a treatment that must be approved for effectiveness and safety, so it should follow the traditional drug distribution method, but SGHs are wellness products that are more flexible in terms of adoption and diffusion than DTx. SGHs are effective because it can provide customized services through continuous monitoring and feedback. When SGHs are applied to cognitive impairment treatment or behavioral correction, malfunctions and side effects are minor. This study developed research model based on the Valence Framework, gathered data from 142 undergraduates, and demonstrated that only the perceived benefits have a statistically significant positive (+) effect on SGHs acceptance intentions. Based on these results, this study suggests that SGHs companies should promote benefits in accepting SGHs for general users and they need for a distribution and analytics platform strategy based on a data-driven approach.

Recently, research on automating game tests using artificial intelligence agents instead of humans is attracting attention. This paper aims to collect play data from human and artificial intelligence and analyze their similarity as a preliminary study for game balancing automation. At this time, constraints were added at the learning stage in order to create artificial intelligence that can play similar to humans. Play datas obtained 14 people and 60 artificial intelligence by playing Flippy bird games 10 times each. The collected datas compared and analyzed for movement trajectory, action position, and dead position using the cosine similarity method. As a result of the analysis, an artificial intelligence agent with a similarity of 0.9 or more with humans was found.

Until now, the level design for games has played a very important role in the process of developing games since it has been mapped out and applied so the game players have fun to certain level in playing games. So as game becomes more complex the number of game designers also grow and to make diverse levels, work force and working hours also should grow larger. In this treatise, it suggest a way where level's structure is changing dynamically so with only one level you can experience diverse levels by introducing wandering agent to the level structure. Also, I am trying to show the possibility of balance between the players by wandering agent.
