This study focuses on transtextuality of Easter egg and its effect on replayability. This paper categorizes Easter eggs of digital game into five types based on game elements, and applies Gerard Genette's transtextuality theory by analyzing function and meaning of Easter eggs based on quotation, allusion, and annotation of intertext and paratext. In conclusion, Easter eggs as transtext form game ritual by linking inside and outside of the game, as well as developers and players. Through this process, Easter egg enhances replayability of digital games by extending the narrative of the game.

A drone market is growing fast. Nevertheless, basic drone flight training contents are not actively developing or studying. For solving this problem, first, the researcher has studied a method of training basic drone flight skills and analyzed various existing drone training contents. Then, the researcher designed a game via the researched method above that trains drone flight skills. The modern gamepad, like an Xbox controller, was key mapped to operate as a standard drone radio controller. Further research will develop drone training content for specialized purpose fields.

Metabus, a three-dimensional virtual environment for digital communication, has gained a lot of attention recently. Even so, there are still many unanswered questions about the user's consciousness and behavior. A difference in nature from conventional digital communication is also unclear. This paper aims to study Metabus on a hypothetical premise by organizing the possibility of Metabus for communication activation based on a research project aimed at using Metabus to support the formation of a community of school dormitories and studio rental residents. After reviewing the establishment process and application cases of Metabus, we focus on the character (avatar) used as the user's alter ego within the metabus, which will allow customization of both form and content different from text-based communication. The "physicality" and the "spatiality" of the metaverse and the "immersion" they bring are among the most important, functional innovations. Based on this summary, a case of using metabuses will be reviewed to describe the research plan aimed at supporting community formation.

한 해 100만건 이상의 모바일 게임이 출시되고 있으며, 게임 수가 많은 만큼 게임물 등급 관리에 있어서 객관적이고 투명한 업무처리는 필수적이다. 그러나 현재 사업자 자체 등급분류는 오직 게임 개발사가 제출한 서류에 의존하며, 사후 모니터링을 통해 제재하는 실정이다. 이에 따라, 사전에 폭력성 유뮤를 식별할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Cloud Vision API를 활용하여 프레임 수를 설정하고 해당 프레임에 대한 폭력성 정도를 수치로 출력하여 해당 영상에 문제 유무를 사전에 식별할 수 있도록 돕는 시스템에 대해 기술한다. 이 시스템을 통해 게임물관리위원회 인력과 예산 한계로 인해 계속 불거지고 있는 연 100만 건에 달하는 등급분류 처리의 정확성과 사후 모니터링에 효과가 있을 것이다.

Many game and financial apps have emulator detection functionality to defend against dynamic reverse engineering attacks. However, existing Android emulator detection methods have limitations in detecting the latest mobile game emulators that are similar to actual devices. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to effectively detect Android emulators for mobile games based on Houdini module and strings of a library. The proposed method detects the two emulators, Nox and LD Player through specific strings included in libc.so of bionic, and an analysis of the system call execution process and memory mapping associated with the Houdini module.

As the gaming industry grows, the need to understand and study on game Addiction and overindulgence have also grown. For this object, in this study, the author first studied how game elements and game mechanisms were categorized by using previous studies. As a result, game elements are divided into three elements that compose visual, competitive, and probability elements. And the game mechanisms that establish three elements were grouped into subcategories. Risk of competitive and visual element that effect on overindulgence is depended on what mechanism has used. But, in the probability element, Gambling mechanism must be viewed in terms of addiction, not overindulgence.

In this study, we derive the important environmental elements for developing physical computing game. Environmental elements are selected based on the analysis of the physical computing environment in the area including physical computing itself, existing physical computing games, digital art, and information education. The derived elements are verified by Delphi's investigation methodology. The 27 factors are chosen in terms of development environment, development case, and development service. Among them the environmental aspects of physical computing are ranked as the highest importance.

It is very difficult, but important, to induce and maintain voluntary user engagement in content. For example, many Internet contents provide financial rewards for the user's participation and maintenance. However, there are limitations to methods such as stimulating only external motivations, such as monetary rewards, and sophisticated design and management are needed to obtain sustained and voluntary user participation in content. For this purpose, we propose a Gamified CMS that extends the existing Content Management System (CMS) by referring to the example of the Gamified Learning Management System. This will ultimately increase the participation and commitment of users in content.

Metabus, currently represented by Second Life on the Internet, is the next-generation 3DCG Internet world in which the 2D Internet world has evolved, and has grown as a new ICT culture of mankind that can replace real society with virtual society. As such, the reason why the world of metabus has rapidly expanded is that the era of 3D Internet has arrived due to the evolution of the Internet, which only used information, and the spread of 5G communication in user-participating WEB. However, there are many situations in which laws do not exist in this virtual world and various illegal acts occur. As the Internet culture developed earlier, illegal activities by users began to appear, and as the legal responsibility of Internet providers was discussed, mankind quickly passed the Millennium Copyright Act or introduced new copyright protection measures such as technical protection, transmission rights, and rights management information. Therefore, this paper reviews and studies how to accept and further grow this new metabus culture, including the viewpoint of intellectual property.

In this study, we developed a visual novel game as one of the donation campaign strategies. In study 1, we developed a visual novel game for the elderly who live alone. In study 2, we also examine how game affects personal distress and empathic concern, the emotions that trigger help behavior. The results showed that game can promote both emotions effectively. Moreover, empathic concern completely mediated between game and donation intention. This result suggests that visual novel games can be an effective tool for stimulating user's altruistic motivation to do donation behavior.
