Game contents are the driving force of the digital media era. As the gaming industry grows bigger, contents technologies are also rapidly developing in both their quality and quantity, while the story sources of the contents are depleting. Accordingly, digging out new stories that can support development of the cultural contents industry is emerging as an urgent issue. Since games took roots as a form of contents in our society, negative images have outweighed positive aspects. This study aims at finding cures for the side effects from storytelling. Important factors here are how to converge the technical nature of engineering imagination and the epic nature of humanities imagination. Recently, The excavations of the story is very important. This article demonstrates cases where the oral literature, an archetypical cultural genre, provides the sources of game storytelling.

한국 신화는 우리 민족의 정신적, 역사적 원형이며 상상력의 원천이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 타문화권에 비해 신화의 발굴과 대중적 인식이 현저히 부족하다. 그러므로 한국 신화의 창조적 복원을 통해 게임 컨텐츠를 개발하고, 이를 OMSU 사업으로 확장시키며, 나아가서는 한국 신화를 대중화하고 세계화를 달성할 수 있다. 그 시도로써 콘솔용 액션 RPG 게임의 시나리오 창작과, 게임의 성공 핵심이 되는 그래픽 작업 중 캐릭터 디자인을 전개해 보려고 한다. 단순히 고증을 되살리려는 시도보다는 한국적 요소를 게임 캐릭터에 대입하여 한국적 이미지를 도입하는 데 의의가 있으므로 각 시대만의 독창적 요소를 조합하여 새로운 디자인을 시도하였다. 복식은 사료(史料)와 주변 국가의 회화 및 역사자료를 통합한 고증을 토대로 디자인하고, 이를 판타지풍의 게임에 맞게 새롭게 재조명하였다. 본 연구는 한국의 고대 신화와 설화를 원형으로 시나리오를 창작하고, 한국의 복식 요소를 가미한 판타지 게임 캐릭터 디자인을 포함한 문화 컨텐츠를 개발하는 데 목적이 있다. 시나리오는 주인공이 잠시 머무르는 사후의 세계에서 겪게 되는 여러 가지 여정과 적대역 캐릭터들과의 마찰로 기인되는 에피소드를 중심으로 이루어졌다.

This study investigated an evolutionary process of In-game Animation and researched on the action of realization establishing virtual reality. In-game Animation, functioning as contents to visualize games, is responsible for conveying information to achieve goals of games. In-game Animation which is affected by graphic technology was initiated with setting up indicators by dot and line. Followed by the development of technology, In-game Animation has pursued realization, after passing through processes of iconography, materialization, and dimensionalization. The realization of In-game Animation does not simply imitate the real world but creates meaning of reality by establishing space with various factors such as characters and background along with the story, under the premise of virtuality. The realization of In-game Animation is very important to provide the experience of immersion, as it forms a sense of presence through such visual tactility. The process to create meaning of reality provides gamers with experiences, and leads them to expand senses through visual perception and finally absorb the virtuality as reality. Therefore, the image of In-game Animation does not simply imitate the real world but creates meaning of reality by establishing space with various factors such as characters and background along with the story, under the premise of virtuality. The realization of In-game Animation is not limited to blindly portray a realistic image. In addition, the process of realization pursued by In-game Animation is an action to immerse in the game rather than a mere product of technological development.

With the development of hardware and 3D graphic technologies since the 1990s, video games have been evolving in the direction in which they wholly pursue illusions and movie formats, and thus they are considered to be media centered on spectacles. However, video games, due to their inherent characteristics, cannot be transparent media like the existing spectacular entertainments centering on optical illusions. In their structure, there can be found elements that continually disillusion players from visions. Strictly speaking, players are not lost in visions, but are kept a certain distance from internal contexts. Games rely not on illusion but on contracts with players which are similar to a kind of convention, clearing internal imperfections. This paper aims to identify and analyze disillusioning elements and discuss theatrical contacts between players and games. The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the awareness of video games as a spectacle entertainment and to help discover future directions for game culture.

Cross-Media Storytelling(CMS) is the new method of media representation. It picks the features and the elements in one media, and uses them in another media. 'Remediation' in digital era uses the content of old media in new form based on new technology. But 'CMS' represents the basic elements of the media experience in each unique style of media. It changes the focus from the technology to experience. So CMS is the new strategy of the media not based on the new technology. Adam PESapane's (2006) is a example for this strategy. It takes the game media as a subject matter. But it expresses the meta-representation of game experience in the "stop motion animation" Especially it emphasizes the narrative chain between the usual phenomenon and the visual imagination. And it shows the possibility of representation of new media experience in the old media genre. So it suggests the conditions of CMS.
