This paper introduces the case study of constructing a quest engine system in a commercial online game. The system can help several operations for quests such as modeling and execution with a dedicated script language. Since the many attributes of a quest, including the type or preconditions or execution ordering of quests, could be represented well with the script, game developers can constitute and modify a quest system very easily. Thus it is expected that the quest system introduced in this paper can be a good guideline to the developers of online RPG games.

A quest in MMORPG functions as a unit of game narrative. It is an essential part to progress game narrative and to construct player's own storyline. In addition, it makes player to expand her territory and helps with character growth by giving reward. A quest consists of four essential elements : the quest giver, the background story, the objective and the reward. A quest shows a blanch structure with two nodes which is same as Claude Bremond's elementary sequence. The sequence of each functions cannot be changed, therefore, it can be explained through a syntagma model. On the other hand, spatial disposition of quests follows a paradigm model. In order to construct a MMORPG narrative, a player connects quests into a single narrative by carrying out them.

사용자의 적극적 참여를 유도하는 교육용 UCG(User Creative Game) 퀘스트(Quest) 제작 시스템은 게임 내 역할수행(Quest) 구성 권한을 사용자에게 부여하여 게임 내에서 사용자가 제작한 자유도 높은 임무를 제공한다. 이를 바탕으로 적극적인 사용자는 재미요소와 교육적 목표를 가진 퀘스트를 구성, 제작한다. 퀘스트 제작 시스템을 통하여 생산되는 퀘스트를 통하여 양질의 퀘스트 데이터는 축척 된다. 이로 인하여 게임의 수명은 연장되고 게임 내 교육적 기능성 부여는 게임 개발자가 아니라 교육 전문가인 적극적 사용자를 통하여 이루어진다.

These days, virtually every mobile game has a daily quest system. Daily quest is a great tool that can attract game players by providing daily rewards as the player conducts designated missions. However, conducting similar tasks repeatedly has a risk of becoming tedious duties, and maintaining an enjoyable daily quest is critical in enhancing the overall experience of a game. Based on the awareness on the need for academic research on daily quest systems, this study categorized the types of quests systems implemented in the current mobile games, observed how preferred type differs by player's propensity, and analyzed how motivation of a player can be improved using quest types. The results are (1) the staged rewards after each clearance of a task improve a player's motivation, (2) players with high autonomy should be given a freedom to choose their own quests, and (3) players who values their playing skills higher are motivated by providing a feedback on the completion of a task.

Advances in technology are enhancing the player's visual satisfaction in games. Reflexively, narrative satisfaction has not been highlighted. This led to a player's critical view of the absence of original games. Especially in gameplay, quests require repeat and similar content and imperative tasks. It is overlooked that a quest can cause players to produce various meanings and effects. The concept of editing ability to reorganize the designed rules of the player beyond the performance and behavioral rules is conceptualized, and the four types of players that operate the characteristics can see that the player can intensify game play and immerse himself in play saw.

This paper introduces the case study of constructing a quest engine system in a commercial online game, Travia. The system can help several operations for quests such as modeling and execution with a dedicated script language. Since the many attributes of a quest, including the type or preconditions or execution ordering of quests, could be represented well with the script, game developers can constitute and modify a quest system very easily. Thus it is expected that the quest system introduced in this paper can be a good guideline to the developers of online RPG games.

A game designer is the initial design of the quest based on narrative. It is important that to predict game character of play experience to establish these static content. This paper deal with player's affective interaction distinguishing among game characters are perform quest-play based on their characteristic status. To achieve this, First of all, previous studies regarding pre-visualization of narrative structure for other visual media are reviewed. Secondly, it is specified that quest-play experience and player's cognitive behavior. At last, these features of status by character were pre-visualized with QUG(Quest Unit Graph), which could be represented differences in precess of quest-play through analysis on world of warcarft game. Previous research is about of numerical balance in terms of character's achievement, whereas this study is meaningful that is proposed that visual model of quest-play interaction focused on narrative structure to predict game designer's architecture of quest experience.

As a smallest unit of the game story, quest needs to be analyzed in terms of structure in order to study quest storytelling. This thesis introduces structuralist theory of narrative function of folk-tale by Propp to determine the structure of the quest. Propp proposed immutable elements of the characters as 31 kinds of Folk-tale functions. I analyzed assigning quests in MMORPG. As a result, 13 essential functions of the Quest, and 5 add-ons were drawn and the order among functions was figured out. Most quests in MMORPG followed the order of the essential functions and optional add-ons and showed a repeating pattern. The essential and optional functions and its order can be utilized to arrange appropriate element for quest storytelling and to strengthen and lead the various ways of the quest storytelling.

A quest system is one of the important parts in the MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) contents. Because of its complexity in combining various content components, quest reward design belongs to a complicated work in estimating quest reward levels correctly in the initial development stage. In this paper, we suggest a new quest reward design technique by considering optimal quest play paths. We model a quest reward problem as the TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem) and solve that by adopting genetic algorithms. With our system, game designers easily estimate the optimal quest play path and it can be useful in reducing the trial-errors in the initial quest design process.

The purpose of this study is to confirm meaning for quest-based learning designed as one of learning methods with new media, which the contents were made of QR code based on smart-phone. For this purpose, this study conducted 8 times of class during one month with 32 elementary third graders. And analysis for the result of this study was carried out MANOVA focus on four sub-factor of motivation. The results showed positive effect for quest-based learning in attention and confidence factor on motivation. Quest-based learning of gaming version as a learning method using various media can use a learning method for facilitation of learner participation, supporting of learning by doing.
