모바일 게임 시장 규모가 커짐에 따라 RPG, 보드게임 등 다양한 종류의 모바일 게임이 출시되고 있다. 그 중 보드게임의 경우 대부분이 과도한 과금 요소, 지나치게 운에 따라 승패가 결정되어 이에 불만을 가지는 사용자들이 많다. 본 논문에서는 기존 보드게임의 형식을 탈피해 새로운 보드게임 형식을 제공하고, 운적인 요소와 과금 요소를 최소화하여 전략을 통해 승패를 가르는 모바일 기반 게임 애플리케이션을 개발하였다. 또한 보드게임에 레이싱 요소를 결합함으로써 턴 방식이 아닌 실시간 방식으로 게임을 운영하고, 게임의 긴박감을 증가시켜 색다른 경험과 재미를 제공한다.

The Korean on-line game industry is going through a rapid change. The future business environments for potential on-line game companies are very uncertain due to the new service and the different market trends. In this paper, I propose the use of morphological analysis approach for scenario generation about the future of the On-line game industry. The stages of research process were as follows; Firstly, digital contents analysis and key issues were drawn on IPTV in the on-line game industry. Secondly, each key issue was analyzed and the influence factors and directivity flow were found. Thirdly, highly probable future on-line game industry scenarios were derived. In this case, morphological analysis. On the basis of the developed scenarios, I formulated some implications for business strategy of a potential on-line game companies.

This study is an exploratory study on the factors that affect the types of user's coping strategies in online game harassment situations. A survey(N=416) was conducted to investigate the experiences of harassment in online games, expectations on organizational response, and the frequencies of selecting each type of coping strategy. The result shows that the female users usually experience more harassment than the male users, especially in sexual harassment. Female users often choose gender masking, seeking help, avoidance, and mirroring strategies compared to males, while males choose self-blame. The effects of harassment experiences, expectation on organizational response, and gender on each type of coping strategy were analyzed using the structural equation model(SEM). Sexual harassment experiences significantly affect all types of strategies, and the higher the expectation on organizational response, the more likely users to seek help rather than to select gender masking. These results are expected to serve the basis for establishing harassment-related regulations in online games.

Promotion and marketing, which are essential to lower the investment risk and maximize commercial profit in the video game market. Game developers and publishers set up public relations strategies to encourage potential consumers' needs. Considering characteristics of video game, the trailer, which is the animated image advertisement material, could occupy a key position in its promotion and marketing plan. Cinematic spectacles and attractive narratives are essential ingredients for game trailers, which are usually produced in 3D animation. Dead Island is an open world first person shooters (FPS) game released in 2011. When launched, it grabbed a great attention with a trailer, awarded the Golden Lion Prize for the best internet film at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The game was a commercial success and several spin-offs were producted. In 2014, its publisher, Deep Silver showed the official trailer of Dead Island 2 at Electronic Entertainment Expo, the world's largest game show. Dead Island 2 was scheduled to be released in 2016, but has been now delayed until 2018. This study compares and analyzes two trailers of Dead Island 1 and Dead Island 2. We examine the narrative structure of the trailer for the sequel promotion of a successful game. The differences between the two could be useful for building a promotion strategy of other game series.

게임 사용자층이 다양화되고 확대되어 감에 따라 게임의 과몰입에 대한 우려가 증가하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 이에 따라 게임에 대한 역기능과 부정적 인식을 넘어서 "유익한 게임", "도움이 되는 게임"으로 변화하기 위한 노력도 최근 몇 년 전부터 활발하게 진행이 되어 왔다. 순기능을 기반으로 한 게임인 기능성 게임(serious game)은, 기존의 게임에서 가지고 있던 단순한 재미 요소 이외에 교육, 학습, 훈련, 치료 등의 특별한 목적을 접목시켜 게임이 가지는 순기능을 더욱 확장시키고자 하는 것이다. 본고에서는 기능성 게임의 응용 분야 및 국내 외 성공 사례를 중심으로 동향을 살펴보고 세계적 흐름을 파악하여, 날로 치열해지고 있는 세계 게임 산업에서 주도권을 갖기 위해 필요한 전략이 무엇인지를 생각해보는 기회가 되고자 한다.

Consumer perception evaluation depending on the game genre affects many parts of the corporate management including market share, gaining new consumer, maintaining consumer and competition. If consumer perceives a company and a product as bad image, gaining new consumer would be no more available, and enormous amount of time would have to be spent to recover from that bad image. However game companies tend to simply keep spontaneous marketing strategy with the enforcing marketing. Its results will be the short-term success sacrificing the long-term marketing opportunity In order to increase sales and market share, the consumer perception evaluation as well as evaluating the game product and the corporate image is necessary. This article gives emphasis on the general game analysis and formulating strategy in the general game genre rather than a certain corporation and a product.

Real time strategy game is a computer game genre of Playing with human or computer opponents in real time It differs from turn-type computer games in the game process method. Turn type games, such as chess, allow only one Player to move at a time. Real time strategy games allow two or more Players to move simultaneously. Therefore, in real time strategy computer games, the game components' movement plans must be calculated very quickly in order to not disturb other processes such as gathering resources, building structures, and combat activities. There are many approaches, which can reduce the amount of memory required for calculating path, search space, and reactive time of components. (or units). However, existing path finding algorithms tend to concentrate on achieving optimal Paths that are not as important or crucial in real time strategy game. This Paper introduces Dynamic Heuristic Af(DHA*) algorithm which is capable of reducing search space and reactive time of game units and compares with A* algorithm using static heuristic weighting.
