Virtual Reality(VR) is one of the most remarkable technologies in the current game industry. Nevertheless, it is difficult for the game industry to actively invest in the VR technology because of the technical problems to overcome and the uncertainty about the market possibility. Therefore, this study attempts to estimate the future possibilities of the VR game market in various angles. For the purpose, we explore the domestic game market from the past to the present, and forecast the game industry ecosystem using the Scenario Network Mapping. Based on the result, we propose a short and long term future prospect and suggest the possible strategies for each stakeholder of the VR game market.

Online games are getting more popular among today's fun-seeking young students. The immersive power of these Internet-based games is so strong that many educators consider the integration of the games and learning to enhance learner motivation. However, the online games, which are primarily aiming g for 'fun', have cognitive, emotional, and social features and impacts that are different from the so-called 'educational' games. Therefore an interdisciplinary approach for better understanding of the online game in regard to its impact on learning and fun should be essential. In this study, the researcher will analyze relevant literature and theories from cognitive psychology, media and communication theory, and Ludology to grasp holistic understanding of online game phenomena, which will serve as basis of further research and development in this emerging area.

게임 기획은 1차 기획과 2차 기획으로 나누어진다. 1차 기획은 게임이 제작될 경우 게임의 장르, 스토리, 타겟 게이머, 플랫폼, 인터페이스, 캐릭터 특징, 마켓팅 전략등을 고려해 게임 상품화와 게임 판매 성공 여부, 게임이 미치는 사회적 영향등을 판단하여 게임의 제작 여부를 결정하는 단계이므로 게임의 성공과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 그런데 현재 국내에서 제작되고 있는 게임들은 RPG 게임과 특정한 게임층에 편향된 경향이 있어 장기적으로 게임 시장의 축소를 가져올 수 있다. 그러므로 차별화된 게임을 제작하여 게임 시장의 확대를 이루는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 온라인 보드 게임에 속하고 인터페이스와 기존 게임에 익숙하지 않는 여성층과 초보 게이머들도 쉽게 게임을 즐길 수 있는 도르르 왕국의 1차 기획 사례 연구를 통해 온라인 게임의 1차 기획 과정을 논한다. 본 연구는 기존 게임과 차별화된 게임을 제작하려는 게임 제작업체에게 1차 기획의 좋은 예가 되어 경쟁력 있는 게임을 출하할 수 있도록 도움을 줄 수 있다.
