As the market sheare of the Chinese game market across the world has been largely expanded over a decade, big game exporters of USA, Japan, Korea have developed Chinese factors and promoted export strategies, that target China. The Purpose of this study is to analyze the popular game characters of USA, Japan and Korea in order to provide empirical analysis of traditional Chinese elements applied in existing games. The RPG games in USA, Japan and Korea were selected for the contents analysis of the Chinese elements to show how the existing game companies used Chinese elements. The main findings of the research from survey data are rather inconsistent with the content analysis. In particular, all the RPG game companies of USA, Japan and Korea showed a remarkable ratio of using Manzu clothes more than Hanzu clothes. But, the preference of real game users on the Manzu style were lower than Hanzu style. Moreover, Chinese users showed more preference of the game character background that users more deepen Chinese culture. We suggest that applying Chinese elements need to be more selective based on real user's demand.

PC 게임, 모바일 게임 시장에는 마블IP를 활용한 게임들이 꾸준히 출시되어왔다. 23편(엔드게임까지)의 마블 영화는 작품성이나 흥행성 등 다양한 측면에서 큰 성공을 거두었다. 하지만 마블IP를 활용한다고 게임이 반드시 성공하는 것은 아니었다. 출시된 마블 게임들을 보았을 때 성공한 게임과 실패한 게임 사례로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 마블 IP를 기반으로 제작한 게임들의 특징을 살펴보고 성공 요소와 실패 요소의 대해 분석한 내용을 제시하여 게임을 개발할 때 고려할 요소로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze visual environmental elements of game space by play-event in adventure games. We extracted common six types of play-event through exploring ten representative adventure games and organized three types of space structure and four types of object as the criteria of analysis. Based on the criteria, we embodied the characteristics of visual environmental elements by performing direct playing and monitoring. As a result, we verified that the story intended and the gameplay induced by the play-event are closely related to visual environmental elements.

As the game industry is steadily becoming the spotlight industry, the importance of user experience design in game industry is increasing. This study tried to approach game from the viewpoint of user experience design and aimed to analyze the onboarding process focusing on user accessibility and retention in an online game. First, through literature review, onboarding process was devided into three stages. Then each stages were analyzed into experience design, game design elements to derive the key UX factors. Second, based on the UX elements, the game experience and cognitive element analysis frame was presented. With this frame, five domestic online games were qualitatively analyzed and cognitive elements of each game's onboarding process were derived. Key cognitive factors in each stages were, selective attention in the discovery stage, working memory and active learning in the learning stage, and participation and motivation in the immersion stage. Finally, improvement direction were presented, focusing on the key cognitive factors. These studies highlight the importance of the user entry process in online games and suggests improvements to lower entry barriers.

Game balance is an very important factor for game design, it is necessary factor to make game more fun. Most of game companies have been using their own balance method for successful game development. An efficient balance method always can't guarantee successful game development but it is true for game developer to need standard balance method for efficient game development. Fighting system between characters is mainly implemented in genre including action. Direct balance factors for fighting between characters are their characteristics and attack patterns. In this paper, We identify direct balance factors for game including fighting system between characters and propose mathematical method for it.

모바일 게임 시장 규모가 커짐에 따라 RPG, 보드게임 등 다양한 종류의 모바일 게임이 출시되고 있다. 그 중 보드게임의 경우 대부분이 과도한 과금 요소, 지나치게 운에 따라 승패가 결정되어 이에 불만을 가지는 사용자들이 많다. 본 논문에서는 기존 보드게임의 형식을 탈피해 새로운 보드게임 형식을 제공하고, 운적인 요소와 과금 요소를 최소화하여 전략을 통해 승패를 가르는 모바일 기반 게임 애플리케이션을 개발하였다. 또한 보드게임에 레이싱 요소를 결합함으로써 턴 방식이 아닌 실시간 방식으로 게임을 운영하고, 게임의 긴박감을 증가시켜 색다른 경험과 재미를 제공한다.

From several commercialized games the technique of changing facial expressions is imported, and a design method of a game character for the player's empathy is expected to be diversified in the future. In this paper, as a design method of a game character for the player's empathy, this makes walking motion for the game character applied with 'human-emotion' factors as statistics variation of a game character in RPG genre. After this paper implements analyzed emotions of human facial expression and walking motions applied with emotion in examples of character animation theory, this paper divides walking motion applied with human-emotion factors into 8 types through relationship to statistics factors in RPG genre. And then these are applied to a knight character, which has the most similarity with human's physical feature of the game characters in RPG genre, and makes walking motion as variable statistics. As a game player controls the game character applied with 'human-emotion' factors, the effect of the player's empathy about the game character becomes higher, and the level of immersion in game play is also expected to increase.
