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.

Developing a real time network game that is serviced on the internet requires a lot of work, time and manpower. Therefore, it is important to design a game in such a way so that existing design codes could be used. The area which is being studied to maximize the reusability of the existing design code is related to design patterns. If the developers are given various design techniques and application examples that use well defined design patterns, they will be able to make better game API(Application Programming Interface) and to invent a framework for game development based on this API as well. In this paper, the design patterns that the GoF(Gang of Four) proposed have been applied to develop and implement two kinds of network turn games. In the process, efficient design techniques will be proposed for the effective reuse of the existing game API.

Game program manufacture had been classed by 3D or on-line game etc. simply. But, atomized game programmer's kind now. So, Artificial Intelligence game programmer's role is important. This paper used reinforcement learning algorithm for Jul_Gonu board characters to learn, and so they can move intelligently. To compare a learned character to an random one, a board game was created, and then they fought against each other. As a result, learned character‘s ability was far more improved.

게임 산업이 고도의 성장을 이루고 있는 현재 게임시장에서 대두되고 있는 문제점은 개발업무에 대한 능력과 자질이다. 대부분의 게임 개발 업무의 방식이 주먹구구식의 개발을 통해 게임을 제작하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 점은 게임제작에서 중요한 요소인 개념유지와 의사소통에 대한 문제점들로 나타난다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 게임의 개념 단계에서 기획자의 아이디어를 제시하는 모델링을 위해 표현되는 요소를 연구하여 게임의 개념을 유지하고 개발자와의 원활한 의사소통을 통해 작업효율을 증대 시킬 수 있다.

사이버 공간에서의 3D 아바타 게임은 많은 인기를 누리고 있으며, 아바타는 기업들에게 새로운 수익 모델 및 마케팅 방법이 되고 있다. 3D 아바타 시스템은 개발 방법과 과정, 설계과정이 어려움이 많이 있다. 그 이유는 아바타 시스템 디자인 설계에 따라 향후 서비스 시 수익모델의 차이가 많기 때문이다. 이로 인해서 온라인 게임 개발자들이 많은 시행착오가 있는 것이 오늘날의 현실이다. 이러한 국내 실정에서 3D 아바타 시스템에 대한 연구가 절실히 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 아바타의 비중이 높고, 많이 사용되는, 온라인 캐주얼 게임에 적합한 3D 아바타 시스템 디자인을 연구하는데 그 목적이 있다. 그 연구를 위해서 온라인 3D 아바타 제작 사례를 기반으로 분석하여 실제 게임에 사용되는 3D 아바타 시스템 디자인과정의 소개와 제작 툴을 제안한다.

네트워크 게임 제작과 관련된 설계 기술은 기업의 보안 사항에 해당되므로 기술 공유가 어려운 실정이다. 인력과 시간이 많이 드는 네트워크 게임제작에서 기존에 작성된 코드를 재사용이 가능하도록 설계하는 것은 중요한 일인데, 코드의 재사용을 극대화하기 위해서 지금까지 사용되고 있는 여러 가지 디자인 패턴들을 사용하는 것은 소프트웨어 설계에 많은 도움을 준다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 게임 서버에 로그온한 사용자가 차례를 기다려서 게임하는 턴게임 설계와 구현을 통해서, GoF(Gang of Four)가 제안한 행위 패턴들이 어떻게 적용될 수 있는지를 연구하고 자바언어를 이용한 네트워크 게임 개발에 사용될 수 있는 효율적인 API(Application Program Interface)를 제안한다.

Game character customizing has evolved with the desires of users who want to enjoy the scarcity value; thereby, the category which is subjected to character customizing is extending. However, despite such a great interest, character customizing interface has been created for the sake of the convenience of each game developing company, without proven guidelines. The confusion of designers who create interface is caused by using independently created interface without testing the optimal form of interface according to manipulative activity which integrates game character customizing interface, and this confusion leads to the discomfort of users. All the more, studies on character customizing have been mostly concerned with the preference for certain characters according to user propensity or character producing methods. Therefore, basic research into interface relative to character customizing is insufficient. Accordingly, through the development of universal guidelines appropriate for game character customizing interface. the discomfort of users is to be removed. This paper conducted an investigative analysis of the current interface of games which support character customizing, and classified the type of interface. Then, the paper researched 16 types of games that support character customizing out of games ranked within top 50 in the on-line game ranking. As a result of the analysis, the characteristic feature of every game appeared in the offer of detailed optional factors. Those detailed optional factors could be classified, to some extent; however, their manipulative interfaces were discovered not to be classified into different types. The results of this paper will be used as an analytic system in the preparation of the guidelines of game character customizing interface, down the road.

BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) is a way to control computer by using the human brain waves. As the hardware using brain wave technologies has developed, former expensive and big sized brain wave measuring devices have recently become much smaller and cheaper in their prices, making it possible for the individuals to buy them. This predicts them to be applied in various fields of multimedia industry. This thesis is to give an insight into whether the BCI device can be used as a new gaming device approaching it in a game designing point of view. At first, we propose game play elements that can effectively utilizing the BCI devices and produce a game prototype adopting the BCI device based on such game play elements. Next, we verify it with statistical data analysis to show that the prototype adopting the BCI device gives more clear and efficient controls in its game play than a game of only adopting keyboard & mouse devices. The results will give a guideline for effective game design methodology for making BCI based games.

This study was accomplished to examine the relationship between the videogame player's perceived congruity and intention to game use, and to investigate the mediating effect of emotion as the psychological factor. Games for the research subject are confined to single player games on console or PC not online or mobile games to rule out human interaction. The results proposed that self and functional congruity have positive impact on intention to game use, and emotion is in the mediating effect of these relationships. Based on the results of the analysis, game producers have some implications for the game which is appropriate for the quality, the gamer's image, and the emotional aspect.
