The progress in Information & Communication Technology enables data scientists to analyze big data for identifying peoples' daily lives and tacit preferences. A variety of industries already aware the potential usefulness of analyzing big data. However limited use of big data has been performed in game industry. In this research, we adopt data mining technique to analyze data gathered from a strategic simulation game. Decision Tree, Random Forest, Multi-class SVM, and Linear Regression techniques are used to find the most important variables to users' game levels. We provide practical guides for game design and usability based on the analyzed results.

Mighty is an imperfect information game, similar to the internationally popular four-player card game Bridge, but more complex in terms of game rules and operation. An environment for exploring and analyzing the strategy of the Mighty Game is required, but compared to the development of many simulators for strategy analysis of other card games such as Bridge, there is no analysis tool for the Mighty Game. Even the definition and understanding of the Mighty game at the academic level is lacking. To solve these problems, this paper systematically defined the procedures and rules of the Mighty Game. And based on this definition, we implemented a simulator that can learn Mighty game and analyze various strategies. For the usability and accessibility of the service, the simulator was developed with JavaScript, and various analysis functions are provided in the web environment. Lastly, comparative analysis with other trick-taking games dealt with in the related research domain showed that the Mighty game has its value as an incomplete information game and that there are many characteristics that make it easy to apply AI-based learning methods.

This essay analyzes space in augmented reality games, and attempts to offer space analytic standards of mobile augmented reality games in regards to space in existing games. This article proposes categorizing criteria based on the following factors: Analysis of space in existing games, Jason Jerald's Three Virtual Space Horizon Categories, interaction between virtual world and real world, and Lavroff's Three deciding factors of reality perception in virtual reality. It is meaningful that the analysis criteria of the Augmented Reality game space is presented through this analysis.

This study selected 60 board games that have a high sales rate and awareness in the board game market, and analyzed 37 board games that were selected through the advice of experts. According to the analysis of general characteristics, there was the highest number of board games that more than 2 people could participate and people from ages 7 to 11 could use, and the most common play time was from 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Also, there was the largest number of board games produced in 2000s, and Germany was the most common producer of board games. Next, the content analysis showed that abstract strategy was the most common game genre, and cognitive domain was the most common in the development area. The analysis based on how to play the game showed that games that had to go through 4 stages were the most common. Card games were the most common form of game, group was the most common in organization form, and reaching goal was most common among result analysis method. According to the analysis of correlation by items, the number of people and work analysis had a statistical correlation, and the playing age, time, and genre had a correlation. The origin of the game and game genre were also correlated to each other, and game form, game genre, organization form, and result analysis had a statistical correlation as well. The purpose of this study is to analyze the board game in terms of structural characteristics and to provide a foundation for future research.

This study seeks to derive game design elements that turn out game streaming-friendly through the analysis of Internet game streaming. To this end, this study surveyed previous studies on the motivation of watching internet game broadcasting and simplified the motivations to 'Expertise' and 'Amusement', the goal that game streaming should aim for, and divided streamer's streaming types into 'Reviewer', 'Master', 'Entertainer' and 'Acrobat' by those two options. Based on the categories, this study analyzed game streaming videos of various genres and confirmed that both the number of videos and the number of views by the streaming type were the highest in the 'Acrobat' group. In addition, the analysis shows that and revealed different figures by the type although they belong to the similar genre. By comparing and analyzing the systems and content elements of the two games, this study identified 's advantages in three points-Fortune, Setup Time, Control View- and finally suggested some guidelines for streaming-friendly game planning.

게임 개발 방향은 주로 많은 비중을 차지하는 10대 및 20대의 남성을 대상으로 이루어져왔다. 그러나 최근 여성게이머의 증가와 여성을 대상으로 하는 게임의 등장 등 게임소비자의 구성이 다변화되어가고 있다. 이러한 상황에 비해, 게임이용자에 대한 연구나 실태조사는 성별간의 차이를 감안하여 분석한 사례가 매우 드물고, 이와 함께 새로이 유입되어 증가 추세에 있는 여성 게이머들이 선호하는 게임 개발은 여전히 활성화되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 게임장르별 게임이용 방식 및 선호에 대한 견해를 남성과 여성으로 구분하여 살펴보고, 더 나아가 남성과 여성 각각의 주요 게임장르별 이용방식 및 견해의 차이를 분석함으로써, 게임콘텐츠의 개발 방향이 타겟이 되는 소비자의 성별에 차별적인 요인을 감안하는 것이 필요함을 보여주고자 하였다. 특히 각 장르별로 선호하는 게임 요소에도 차이를 보이고 있어 보다 세분화된 콘텐츠 구성방식에 대한 고민이 요구된다.

The game industry has been seeing rapid change brought on by the competitive environment globally. As a result, game design skill is being magnified as a key to success. Because of lack of game design skills, Korean game market is in crisis recently. The game analysis is necessary to enhance game design skills. However, criteria and definition of game analysis is not clear and it is difficult to use for game development. This paper will suggest H-G model which has two factors that are 'human role' and 'the scope of game analysis'. This model segments 9 types of game analysis method. This study finds the limitation of leading researches and tries to improve it mapping the major leading researches to H-G model. This paper would help to make the game analysis be integrated and systemic research as regards 9 types of H-G model.
