In recent years, new media art is developing to play its roles as a means of remediation to overturn, reuse, and alter the old technologies rather than technology-dependent art to accept new technologies and use them as artistic tools. Here, the concept of new should mean looking at the old technologies in an indirect way and finding new meanings in them rather than presenting new technologies. The starting point of this study was the concept of spatialization in which the concept of new media art would externalize games from inside to outside the screen in gamification-applied spaces. Participatory new media art adds a platform for viewer's participation and utilizes the entire space of the exhibition hall instead of allowing for simple viewing at the exhibition hall. The study focused on the changes and phenomena in the process of games belonging to the artistic space through the interactivity of gamification. Here, the premise was that gamification meant the "spatialization of games." The study examined several cases of games being altered in the spatialization process to figure out interactivity for viewers and developmental directions for interface design at a gallery.

In this paper, studied about an effect in motion graphics to make video game contents projects. Using the motion graphics to make video game contents projects was applied with various effects. The effects in motion graphics is divided in two ways that moving effects and a motion image effects. The various effects of motion graphics extremely increases the effects of the video game contents projects. The various effects in the motion graphics, expects to be applied in the video game that can be more developed creative in video arts.

3d 게임 혹은 애니메이션 툴로 제작된 인터렉티브 아트 작품은 디스플레이를 통해 표현 될 때 가상의 입체공간이 시각적 평면 상태로 전달되는 물리적 한계를 가지게 된다. 관람자의 몸의 움직임과 가상현실의 시각적 재현, 물리적 공간에서 물체의 변화와 움직임을 동시에 경험한다면, 다양한 감각과 자극으로 작품의 몰입도를 높이고 전달하고자 하는 내용에 집중도를 높을 수 있다. 이 프로젝트에서는 이러한 복합적인 인터렉션을 통해 현대사회의 가상과 현실의 모호성을 표현하고, 삶의 본질과 현상에 대한 철학적 질문을 제시한다.

Ludo-narrative dissonance is a prevalent problem among open-world genre video games. However, Ghost of Tsushima (2020) alleviates this issue by designing its characters and narrative structure influenced by Akira Kurosawa's samurai films. The game's protagonist represents "Bushido," a samurai code, and the structure exudes similarity to Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey," which heavily influenced Kurosawa's films. The developers also designed the gameplay mechanics such as level-up system, map design, and side quests based on these narrative traits, ultimately making the goal of the narrative and the gameplay mechanics cohesive.

Animation-related films and game industries have been expanding their markets rapidly responding to sharply increasing public demand. The production processes of major studios are getting more and more specialized and detailed. Therefore, they feel burden to manage and maintain as the HR and physical sizes are getting greater. So, independent studios which perform partial processes of the works are increasing over North America and Europe. Specialized studios build previous functions and related business models. They are expanding their areas. Therefore, this study targeted studios specialized in digital concept art in free production step. The characteristics of such studios were analyzed. To this end, first definitions of digital concept art concepts and functional & artistic features of entire production, and their application to business were deliberated through documents and online. Based on the results, the features of 'concept art service', 'self-brand business/ communication', and 'education service' were drawn. Second, based on it, targeting three con cept art studios such as Atomhawk (UK), FengZhu Design (Singapore), and Studio Gage (Korea), case research was done. Comparative analysis for the cases was conducted. It turned out that concept art studio s lead new market demand through active business strategies such as related contents development, marketing, etc. based on specialization. This research is significant to understand global trend of newly establishing specialized studios market and suggest reference data to improve prospective domestic specialized studios competitiveness.

Serious games are developed under particular purpose. This study provides a theoretical background on serious games for social change as a basis for future experiments and practice. By examining the elements of games and related theories, narrative immersion and critical participation are identified as the two main experiences of games, which are realized through role play. Based on educational theories for behavioral and cognitive change, this study suggests to use role play as a strategy on serious games for social change. Analyzing the cases of serious games in Korea, this study concludes that participants are able to experience the context of the situation through role play.

In this study, we derive the important environmental elements for developing physical computing game. Environmental elements are selected based on the analysis of the physical computing environment in the area including physical computing itself, existing physical computing games, digital art, and information education. The derived elements are verified by Delphi's investigation methodology. The 27 factors are chosen in terms of development environment, development case, and development service. Among them the environmental aspects of physical computing are ranked as the highest importance.

With the development of the game industry, 'games about games,' which examine the identity of game itself through a form of the game, emerged with a variety of shapes. Thus, this paper aims to suggest a definition, characteristics, and meaning of 'meta game.' Firstly, meta games strengthen the artificiality of the games and suggest procedurality through a form of the game play. Meta games also utilize the external context as a part of the games, and use the metaphor of 'labyrinth' to identify a feature of the game space. Furthermore, they emphasize intertextuality and prove that the fantasy and the reality can merge within the game world. In conclusion, meta games prove themselves to be independent expressional arts and experimental content, and suggest the potential for an alternative medium beyond formality.

게임에서 AI(Artificial Intelligence)는 게임의 재미요소와 가장 밀접한 부분이며, 대부분의 게임에 포함되어 있다. 그러나 단순한 AI패턴은 게임플레이에 지속성을 저하시키며 게임의 재미요소 하락시키는 원인이 되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해, 2D 횡 스크롤 액션 게임으로 "아트록스"를 개발하여 게임의 흥미를 높일 수 있는 AI패턴을 연구하였다.
