Level design of online FPS games has not been researched enough for its active development and service. For the most part, FPS design patterns only have been classified based on PVE level design. However, it is necessary to look at it in light of PVP level design in the online FPS multi-player games. Therefore, we analyzed one of the most preferred team-death match levels in 'Point Blank'. This research holds its significance in suggesting the new PVP level design patterns compared to PVE level design patterns after conducting in-depth interviews on three FPS developers.

Main focus of FPS game's play is securing vantage points in space based on specific theme and removing enemies. It could be more directly interacted with players' game space than other genres. This paper analyzes design patterns on FPS game of nine types consisted of three themes : past war, modern war, near future war, which is based on 10 different patterns of near future theme-oriented by Hullett and Whitehead. As an outcome, an important function of 'element of cover' was found additionally as a main pattern besides the 10 different patterns. And by analyzing its attributes, it is suggested the efficient way to use the 'cover' pattern for level-design. This result can be utilized as an empirical guideline for level-design of FPS games by theme.

디자인 패턴은 소프트웨어 -특히, 객체지향 소프트웨어- 의 개발시 재 사용성을 높기 위해서 사용되며, 이는 상속(Inheritance)과 같은 코드레벨 재사용 (code reuse) 보다 높은 레벨의 디자인 재사용 (design reuse)을 가능하게 한다. 디자인 패턴은 구체적인 문제에 대해 구체적인 해를 제공하는 cookbook과는 달리, 추상적인 문제에 대해 추상적인 해를 제시함으로써, 비슷한 부류의 문제에 적용할 수 있으므로 높은 재 사용성을 보장한다. 본 논문은 Retargetable한 특성을 갖는 Instruction set simulator의 개발에 디자인 패턴을 적용한 예를 보여줌으로써, 재 사용성 및 확장성을 높이는 방안을 소개한다.

To apply the player's experiences to the design process of the game levels set by the developer, gameplay behavior analysis is needed. The player's behavior which is different by how much he got experiences from the play has generally been studied by one computational approach based on numerical data and the other HCI(human-computer interaction) approach through heuristic analysis. For the analysis of the player's behavior with the level design patterns in FPS(first-person shooter) games, in this paper those methods are used to code 12 main types of action, which in turn is simply categorized into 5 kinds of behavior pattern. Along with it, an optimized visualization is proposed to intuitively compare the flow of behavior pattern with the time of playing game.

다수의 연구자와 개발자들에 의해 견고하고 효율적이며 확장가능하고 또한 재사용이 가능한 네트워크 어플리케이션의 제작을 위한 방법론으로 디자인 패턴이 연구되고 있다. 이러한 디자인 패턴은 어플리케이션의 구조적 근간인 프레임워크를 위한 연구가 주를 이루고 있기 때문에 어플리케이션 서비스 로직의 처리를 위한 디자인 패턴에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 프레임워크 레벨의 디자인 패턴을 확장하여 연결기반 통신 환경에서 스트림 데이터 처리를 수행하는 어플리케이션 서비스 로직 레벨의 디자인 패턴을 제안한다.

The objective of this research is to discover the rule of gameplay related to the task interdependence to analyse the behavior pattern of social gameplay. Previous literatures related to the gameplay were reviewed and game which was suitable for the gameplay of the task interdependence was selected. A party-play includes a team of five people in the experiment during the gameplay with think-aloud method and video/audio data about action protocol and verbal report were collected. The video observation and protocol analysis were conducted to analyse data. The objective coding scheme were developed from consolidated sequence model task analysis. The player's behavior was analysed. The result was revealed that four rules and four modified rules were included into the total eight behavior pattern. A behavior graph integrated with five gameplay was written. The excellent cooperative spot and error and failure place could be identified. The social gameplay behavior graph is expected to be the key practical design guideline on whether the level design and balance design are proper.

In computer games, the level design and balance of characters are the key features for developing interesting games. Level designers make decision to change the parameters and opponent behaviors in order to avoid the player getting extremely frustrated with the improper level. Generally, opponent behavior is defined by static script, this causes the games to have static difficulty level and static environment. Therefore, it is difficult to keep track of the user playing interest, because a player can easily adapt to changeless repetition. In this paper, we propose a dynamic scripting method that able to maintain the level designers' intention where user enjoys the game by adjusting the opponent behavior while playing the game. The player's countermeasure pattern for dynamic level design is modeled using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). The proposed method is applied to a shooting game, and the experimental results maintain the degree of interest intended by the level designer.

A game player experiences gameplay that game designer sets in play space according to goal of a game. Player's experiential behaviors are affected by the space structure of game level and its arrangements. Therefore, it is an important process to understand and analyze the space structure of game level at the initial stage of game designing. In this paper, we was aimed to analyze the space structure and components of FPS game level based on space theory. To attain the objective, observation was carried out on a total of 204 levels in 3 different kinds of FPS games and the difference in the distribution of spatial composition factors by the goal of a game level was identified. As a result of the analysis, experiential behaviors in the play space show a clear difference according to the goal of the game level and the space structure that derives this is different.

가상 현실을 이용한 게임 환경은 하드웨어의 한계로 게임 속의 가상현실 공간에 비해 실제 유저가 활동하는 게임공간은 한정되어져 있다. 이러한 물리적인 한계는 게임의 내용을 제한시키게 되고, 공간 안에서 반복된 패턴을 느끼게 해 게임 레벨 디자인에 한계를 가져오게 된다. 이에 물리적으로 한정된 공간에 대해 게임 속에 다양한 공간 디자인을 설계하고 실험을 통해 통해 공간의 감성적 한계를 극복해보려 하였다.

This research aims to analyze gamer's behavior pattern on 'Blade for Kakao' RPG genre based on smart-phone. Three subjects were recruited using the concurrent protocol method to conduct ten episodes in region 1. As a result, it derived four behavior patterns according to the combination of space type affordance and the arrangement affordance of obstacle(monster). The result of this research revealed the forward attack arranged for the fixed obstacles in the wide space, the indirect attack as avoid-type arranged for scattered obstacles in the same space, the hunting up attack once arranged for the crowded obstacles in the same space, and the pulling attack arranged for obstacles in the narrow space. Moreover, it revealed the character growth and the optimization of attack method according to the attribute affordance of the obstacle(monster). This research expect to offer the design guideline for game level design to investigate the relationship between the game play and affordance in RPG genre based on smart-phone.
