지금까지 사이버문화에 대한 연구는 해당 문화의 가장 큰 특성 중인 익명성과 그것이 개별 이용자들의 정체성에 미치는 영향에 대한 많은 관심이 있어왔다. 최근 주목을 받고 있는 싸이월드나 블로그 등 CMC환경에서 매체가 일반적으로 여성의 라이프스타일 및 여성성과 연관되어 정체성의 구성에 영향을 미치게 되며, 이러한 이용 형태를 마케팅과 접목하여 높은 여성 참여와 구매력을 이끌어내고 있다. 반면 온라인게임은 남성 중심의 매체로써의 특징을 가지고 있으며, 상대적으로 여성의 온라인게임 이용 행태 분석 및 마케팅 전략 연구가 미흡하였다. 온라인게임에서 여성 이용자의 참여나 구매력을 이끌어 내기 위해서는 우선적으로 남성 중심적 매체에서 여성 온라인게임 유저의 이용 행태 분석 이 선행되어야 하며, 이를 통하여 여성의 온라인게임 소비 패턴과 특성을 파악하고, 나아가 고객 충성도, 구매력과의 관련성 속에서 마케팅적 시사점을 도출하여야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 온라인게임 여성 유저의 심층 인터뷰를 통하여 우선적으로 연령별 게임 이용 패턴 - 게임이용 장소, 초기 진입 방식, 커뮤니티 활동, 아이템 구매 형태 등 - 에 대해 알아보고, 다음으로 여성 유저의 게임 플레이 방식으로 게임 내 캐릭터의 전유 방식(몰입)과 게임 플레이 스타일을 고찰하고자 한다. 이때 여성의 온라인게임 이용 방식이 남성적 매체라는 구조적 공간 내에서 여성의 성적 특성이 온라인게임 소비 행태에 어떠한 영향을 미치며, 또한 여성 유저의 이용 방식에 따라 고객 충성도에 미치는 효과에 대해 알아보도록 한다.

Mighty is an imperfect information game, similar to the internationally popular four-player card game Bridge, but more complex in terms of game rules and operation. An environment for exploring and analyzing the strategy of the Mighty Game is required, but compared to the development of many simulators for strategy analysis of other card games such as Bridge, there is no analysis tool for the Mighty Game. Even the definition and understanding of the Mighty game at the academic level is lacking. To solve these problems, this paper systematically defined the procedures and rules of the Mighty Game. And based on this definition, we implemented a simulator that can learn Mighty game and analyze various strategies. For the usability and accessibility of the service, the simulator was developed with JavaScript, and various analysis functions are provided in the web environment. Lastly, comparative analysis with other trick-taking games dealt with in the related research domain showed that the Mighty game has its value as an incomplete information game and that there are many characteristics that make it easy to apply AI-based learning methods.

게임에서의 텍스트를 추출하고 이를 분석하고자 하였다. 기본적으로 그레마스의 구조생성기호학을 활용하여 텍스트를 분석하고자 하였는데, 연구방법론에서는 현상학, 해석에서는 정신분석학의 이론에서도 도움을 받았다. 구체적인 분석대상으로는 온라인게임인 스타크래프트, 리니지, 스페셜포스를 선택하였다. 연구문제는 이들 세 게임의 의미생성방식에 대한 탐구로 구성되었다. 각 게임의 의미생성방식은 구조생성기호학의 세 가지 층위에서 구분되어 연구되었다. 즉, 심층구조, 기호-설화구조, 담화구조의 세층위로 전환, 발화되면서 점진적으로 의미가 풍성해지는 과정이 탐구되었다. 각 게임의 차이, 나아가 게임 장르간의 차이는 주로 심층 수준의 차이에서 기인한다고 보인다. 이들 게임의 주요 공통점이자, 다른 매체와의 차이점은 행동자 모델에서 두드러지는데, 바로 이용자가 스스로 주체의 위치를 점하게 되는 것이다. 상호작용성으로 대변되는 게임의 특성은 이용자의 텍스트로의 적극적인 개입을 할 수 있게끔 한다. 이러한 적극적인 개입은 이용자가 스스로 텍스트의 주체가 되도록 허용하는데, 주체가 된다고 함은 곧 스스로의 욕망을 직접 대상에 투사하면서 텍스트를 창출함을 의미한다. 바로 이러한 점이 게임의 의미생성방식의 큰 특징이며 다른 매체들과의 주요한 차이점이기도 하다. 더불어 게임이 우리 문화와 사회에 커다란 영향을 미칠 수 있는 기제임이 입증되는 것이기도 하다.

Although learners learn with the same educational games, they show differences in successes. This is because they do not share the same individual characteristics. Currently, there are various studies conducted on effective education according to gender among other characteristics of learners off-line. When this effective educational method according to gender is applied to educational games, it will create more effective outcomes. In addition, this study observed the effective educational method according to gender and learning styles. Through the observation, the considering factors for educational game designs according to the learners' gender was defined. These considering factors were categorized into cognitive and perceptive factors, with each definitions reflected on the characteristics of each gender. This study has its meanings in that it has conducted theoretical results of the considering factors for educational game designs based on reference studies. This study will be utilized as a reference study when designing various games.
