Effective and Economic game evaluation before game publishing is very important for game development company. In this paper, we designed and developed an effective web based game evaluation system according to three major game genre including MMORPG, FPS, and web game. The proposed evaluation model consists of five evaluation items such as game interest, competitiveness, technology, earning power, and market value and has common evaluation items and independent ones according to game genre. To reflect characteristics of each game genre, we divided evaluation items into common evaluation elements and individual ones according to game genre. We applied the proposed system to two real games of a game development company and showed the result.

Online game industry is also making much efforts in developing games that have emotional disposition which is rapidly growing by the increase of emotional demand by the user. In the online game development that induces immersion stimulating the emotion of the human has the evaluation stage it must surely pass, and in this stage, emotional evaluation system is known as the evaluation method that one can verify the function, usage and human emotion desire of the game before its launching. Nevertheless, at this situation the studying result is absent in the verification of efficiency and validity of the emotional evaluation system, this study is to work on the availability and validity of the emotional evaluation system as the evaluation tool of the game comparing with the Jakob Nielsen's evaluation system through common user group which are the subjects.

This paper mainly focused on research developing online game characteristic evaluation system based on game characteristic evaluation model design. Online game characteristic evaluation system is a system that evaluates game online in real-time using evaluation elements defined by model design. Game characteristic evaluation system uses heuristic evaluation method, which is used to execute evaluation in four parts, technical element, manage element, social element, and competitive element. To verify objectivity and validity of game characteristic evaluation, assessment was performed by three groups of beginners, intermediates, and professionals to increase the trust. And game characteristic evaluation forum was hosted to collect opinion from diverse classes.

디지털콘텐츠산업은 21세기 국가경쟁력을 좌우하는 10대 차세대 성장 동력의 하나이며, 게임산업은 이와 같은 디지털콘텐츠 산업에 있어 가장 경쟁력 있는 분야로 인식되고 있다. 문화관광부가 발간한‘2004 대한민국 게임백서’의 통계자료에 따르면, 2003년 국내 게임시장은 소비자 매출을 기준으로 3조9,000억원 규모로 전년대비 15.8%의 성장을 보였으며, 2006년에는 5조7,000억원 규모의 시장을 형성할 것 으로 전망되고 있다. 특히 온라인게임 시장은 2004년 1조원 시장을 돌파할 것으로 예상된다. 또 국내 게임시장은 해외시장에서 5.3%를 차 지하고 있으며, 온라인게임은 세계시장의 31.4%를 점유, 1위를 기록하고 있어 게임산업이 한국 문화산업을 대표하는 비즈니스로서의 가능 성은 더욱 커지고 있다. 게임산업은 게임 플랫폼과 관련 환경에 적합한 새로운 게임의 개발 여부가 게임산업의 성패를 가늠하며, 이와 같이 빠르게 변화하는 게임시장에서 독점적 우위를 고수하기 위해서는 게임산업의 환경 전반에 걸친 다양한 정보의 수집,제공이 절실하게 필요 하다. 이에 11월의 DB 서비스 평가는 게임산업 전반에 걸친 다양한 정보를 데이터베이스로 구축해 서비스하고 있는 한국게임산업개발원의 ‘게임종합정보시스템(www.gitiss.org)’을 평가해 보고자 한다.

Serious games are selected by users according to the original goals such as education, treatment, training and so on. Therefore, those type of games are evaluated inside and outside the game about whether the goals are archived or not. Among quality test elements of serious game, assessment is about whether, in games, ability to verify goal achievement is included or not. In this paper, we examined the achievement-assessing function of serious game through several cases. Furthermore, to utilize for developing serious games for English learning, we designed a level system which achievement-assessing function is applied to. In this level system, we used 'competition and reward' as the core elements of game, and designed the system through simulation of which grades are level-designed along the user's English proficiency level based on notice of MEST(Ministry of Education, Science and Technology). This paper is expected to be useful reference for designing English learning game containing achievement assessing function.

As the online game which is possible of large-scale multiple access enjoys popularity, the number of development by many online game manufacturers came to increase exponentially. But, the reason why the qualitative expansion pace cannot follow the pace of the quantitative expansion on games is that most of them are paltry enterprises except the leading enterprises which are occupying few competitive advantages, so there is no well-established production procedure, and accurate test before the launch isn't accompanied. Therefore, it doesn't cope flexibly to the expectable results. Now, important function is not embodied through the game feature checking stage of the same feature or is under the situation being used in finding out the fatal error of the specific parts. To this, this study collects the emotional vocabulary in the games to suggest the evaluation system that can evaluate the emotion the user feels while playing the game with the usage of the evaluation system that is leaned toward the existing usage evaluation system, and through factor analysis, we classify them into interactivity, interface and information factors and suggest the emotion evaluation system while designing the evaluation questions according to it.

The ultimate purpose of producing game is to make successful sale as making players to be fun. We have to identify fun factors of game and analyze player activities more detail to make fun game. In this paper, we compare game fun factors and select the most detailed one of them and then computed weight factors with AHP method. Based on survey of game players of the selected fun factors, we quantified satisfaction of game fun factors. The result of this paper can be used for assessment of game fun satisfaction and establish game development strategy to implement fun factors according to game genre.

The ultimate purpose of game production is to make a game which satisfy game players and to sell maximum of products. In this paper, we suggest an assessment system model which can evaluate game satisfaction degree quantitatively, for preparing foundations that can make games which the suppliers and demanders of game business want. For it, we computed weight of constituent factors for game with AHP method based on survey, and quantified degree of satisfaction for genre of games to score. Also we analyzed affective factors for game satisfaction by SEM using LISREL software. In result, the greatest affective factor for game satisfaction is fun. For making the game with high degree of satisfaction, we propose that constructive investment and enough technology for fun are needed.

Web Game provides computer games through a web browser, and have several benefits. First, we can access the game through web browser easily if we are connected to the internet environment. Second, usually we don't need much space of a game data for downloading it into a local disk. Nowadays, an industry area of Web Game has a chance to grow through advancements of mobile computing technologies and an age of Web 2.0. This study proposes a Web Game system that users can apply to manipulate the game with multimodal interfaces and mobile devices for intuitive interactions. In this study, multi modal interfaces are used to efficient control the game, and both ordinary computers and mobile devices are applied to the game scenarios. The proposed system is evaluated in both performance and user acceptability in comparison with previous approaches. The proposed system reduces total clear time and numbers of errors of the experiment in a mobile device. It can also provide good satisfactions of users.
