장르소설 중 게임소설은 한국 내에서만 하나의 장르로 구분되는 독특한 분야이다. 게임소설의 발전에 앞서서 MMORPG 내의 게임플레이를 소설 형식으로 구현하는 '온라인게임 여행기'라는 것이 존재했었다. 온라인게임 여행기는 컴퓨터 게임 잡지를 발표 지면으로 삼고 있었고, 컴퓨터 게임 잡지의 폐간과 더불어 사라진 장르가 되었다. 본 논문에서는 1999년부터 2003년간에 걸쳐서 발전했던 온라인게임 여행기의 시말에 대해 검토해본다.

문화유산이 많은 지역의 경우 관광산업이 지역경제에서 차지하는 비중이 크기 때문에 문화유산을 활용한 지역관광 활성화가 중요한 이슈 중 하나이다. 본 논문은 관광객 유도를 위해 문화유산을 활용한 체험형 콘텐츠를 제공하여 관광 경험을 향상할 필요가 있어 모바일 증강현실을 기반으로 한 역사탐방 게임 플랫폼을 제안한다. 제안하는 플랫폼은 고대 백제의 왕도였던 부여를 배경으로 증강현실로 구현된 역사 속 인물과 만나며 문제를 해결해나가는 방식의 게임 플랫폼으로, 관광객에게 디지털 경험을 제공하여 문화유산의 가치 재발견과 지역관광 활성화를 꾀하고자 한다.

Current perception of games is divided. On the one hand, they are criticized as harmful entertainment due to their violent content and addictive nature, and on the other hand, they are evaluated positively as products of a creative industry that offers alternative, interactive entertainment. Based on the latter, this paper will reevaluate the positive element of such games in relation to the museum, the canon of historical and cultural evaluation. The analysis on game culture introduction to the museums consists of three categories: the practical application that includes educational, communicational, and promotional purposes; the approval of games as industrial assets and their extensive cultural influence; and the indirect acceptance of art works using games. A panoramic view of game culture development would promote research on the link between game culture and museums; furthermore, it would establish a basis for an introduction of game culture in academia and predict the future of the industry.

The game industry has grown to represent the domestic cultural industry, but the socio-cultural status of the game is not as high as industrial growth. In the early 2000s, the problem of dysfunctional use of youth games became a social issue and the game culture policy was established for 15 years. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of policy on the prevention of dysfunction, The prevention of dysfunction of the game is somewhat effective, but the diffusion of positive function is insufficient and the improvement of recognition becomes more negative tendency. The effect is insufficient compared to the policy results. It is necessary to adjust the direction of game culture policy through consideration of securing basic data, post-management of policy, enhancement of cultural meaning, and universality of game culture.

국내 문화 예술 산업에서 게임과 관련된 음악 혹은 OST가 드라마, 영화, 애니메이션 등의 타 장르와는 다르게 국내의 미디어 매체에서 언급과 노출이 비교적 적은 편이다. 게임을 소비하는 일부 이용자를 제외한 일반적인 대중은 게임 음악을 접할 기회가 많지 않기 때문에 게임 음악은 여전히 문화 예술이 아닌 게임 음악이라는 틀 안에 갇혀 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 온라인 게임과 관련된 음악의 상업성에 대해 분석하고 게임 음악이 하나의 음악 장르로 자리를 잡기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
