This study examines the characteristics of screen image of 3D first-person shooting games and the newly created subjectivity by that image. 3D first-person shooting games create immersion by remediating the visual experience in the real world. The construction of subjective perspectives and comparatively clear interface are the important features of 3D first-person shooting games. The subjectivity created by this games' image is different from the subjectivity constructed by suture of film. Gamers have the dominant position of the subject of looking, gaming and narrating, but the narrating position is never permanent nor stable. Because the position has the limited sight of first-person, not the comprehensive sight of third-person.

Recent years have witnessed a surging popularity of games based on augmented reality and virtual reality. While old games embody virtual reality within the game platform, recent popular games based on augmented reality and virtual reality incorporate reality into virtual worlds. They present a new genre that is unprecedented, combined with what gamers have a passionate desire for, and thus provide new experiences. Good examples include smartphone games that were the game changer of the gaming industry in 2010 and the sensational $Pok{\acute{e}}mon$ Go that is gaining popularity nowadays. This study, thus, set out to analyze "gaming act(GA)" directly connected to the experiences of gamers to shed light on games as experiential content. The study analyzed gaming acts based on Park Sang-woo (2009) and assumed that gaming acts would change greatly according to the degree of real space intervening in game space; thus, examining changes to the gaming acts of games in two aspects of realizing virtual space from imaginations in game space and reproducing virtual space in real space.

This study presents an investigation into game patterns prominent in mobile games. The term "pattern" used in this study is inherited by the concept used in "A study for user experience of the game : based on the pattern type and the pattern type attribute of the game space" by Gwak E Sac(2016). There is, however, a difference between them. While the previous study limited the gamers' experience patterns to "game spaces" in the use of "pattern," the present study expanded the scope of gamers' experience patterns to the "mobile game market." Although the mobile game market is growing rapidly, there is a tendency of uniformity in mobile games due to the reduction of development time and the destruction of genres in the development of mobile games. Recognizing this situation, the investigator summarized experience patterns in the current mobile game market into: repeat familiar game play, valuable game action, value and consumption of time and preference and selection of game.

MMORPG online game business has emerged as the most lucrative entertainment industry, with over 10 million gamers in South Korea. It appears that in this extremely attractive and growing services segment, academics, as well as practitioners, would benefit from investigating the relationships among the players' attachment or affection, game contents-related and social interaction-related construct. We assume that game contents-related construct consists of storytelling, game-play method, contents-diversity and the sense of identification, and that social interaction-related construct includes information-sharing, gamers' empowerment and the word-of-mouth. Based on data collected from online questionnaire survey, the validity of the research model has been tested. The results show that contents-related construct influences the players' attachment, and that social interaction-related construct has no direct impact on the attachment. But social interaction-related construct has been shown to influence contents-related construct, implying the indirect impact on the players' attachment.

테이블 카드 게임은 널리 사용되고 있으며, 다양한 전략과 전술을 사용할 수 있어 게이머들이 깊은 몰입감을 가지고 게임을 할 수 있게 한다. 하지만 각 카드를 상대방의 카드와 직접 비교하여 게임의 승패를 결정하는 부분이 핵심임에도 불구하고 게임적인 효과가 부족하다 또한 여러 장의 카드를 보관하는 방법이 번거롭고 게임 종료 후에 점수를 계산하는 부분에 있어서도 여러 가지 문제점이 대두된다. 본 논문에서는 카드 관리 및 자동화된 점수 계산 그리고 게임의 흥미를 높일 수 있는 이득을 얻기 위해 RFID 기술과 3D 그래픽 기술을 테이블 카드 게임에 접목하였다. 실제 구현된 테이블 카드 게임을 운영해본 결과 게이머들이 깊은 몰입감을 느끼고 편리하게 게임을 할 수 있음을 보였다.

This study evaluates the satisfaction with current games as the miltiple basic psychological need in the self-determination theory and suggests 'needs-costs' causality research model that explain the variety of gamer's switching behavior. As the empirical test to domestic mobile gamers, the autonomy fulfillment to current game affect reversely with those of autonomy and relatedness. Those relationships between need satisfaction and perceptual switching cost vary according to their age and game genre preference. The results would be applied to understand gamers' switching behavior.

본 논문에서는 현재 게임의 트렌드인 멀티플레이어 게임과 그것을 즐기는 게이머간의 그룹 구성 문제점을 분석하고 실시간 그룹 구성 시스템을 활용한 애플리케이션을 개발하여 해결하는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 다양한 플랫폼에서 애플리케이션을 지원하기 위해 플랫폼에 독립적인 언어인 자바(JAVA)를 사용하여 PC뿐만이 아니라 웹, 모바일에서도 쉽게 이식할 수 있도록 하였다. 이 시스템은 코로나19의 장기화로 멀티플레이어 게임이 기하급수적으로 늘어나고 있는 상황에서 멀티플레이어 게임을 더욱 편리하게 즐길 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

While there is no apparent gender difference on the number of game players and playing time in market survey especially if the age group is under 30, there still exists a strong gender stereotype on female characters with sexual objectification especially in team based battle games. Furthermore, there seldom exists any research on female gamers in this genre. In this paper, we investigate the preference of female characters and reasons of their choice among female gamers with Overwatch and Cypers which are recognized as having enough female players. In Overwatch with 231 responses, subjects prefer 'girl-crush' characters such as non-sexual Ana who age is in 60s. However, in Cypers that does not have female warrior character, subjects' preference is more affected by appearance but those characters with less functional ability are not frequently used in playing. Such practical avatar choice is often discovered among male players thus there is no gender difference in this case.

오늘날 게임은 초고속 통신망, 인터넷의 확산으로 많은 발전을 가져왔다. 그 중 온라인 네트웍 게임은 동시에 수백에서 수천명이 접속하여 게임을 즐기는 클라이언트/서버 모델 개념으로 발전하고 있다. 하지만 서버 내 접속하는 클라이언트의 수가 증가함에 따라 서버에서 다수의 클라이언트 게임머를 지원하기 위해서는 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 기존 네트웍 게임의 구조적 단점을 보완하고 CORBA기반 three-tier방식에 적용하여 다수의 클라이언트 게임머 접속을 효율적으로 지원할 수 있는 분산 네트웍 게임에 대한 제안이다.
