천편일률적인 노가다(?)성 MMORPG에 식상한 한 게이머, 캐주얼게임에 접속해본다. 하지만 뭔가 아쉽다. 이런 게이머에겐‘요구르팅’이 제격이다. 엔틱스소프트가 제작하고 네오위즈가 배급을 맡은 3D 온라인게임인 요구르팅은 학원을 배경으로 한 코믹한 설정과 콘솔게임 같은 연출효과에 커뮤니티성까지 더했다. 개발기간 2년에 개발비 100억원, 개발인력이 50여명 넘게 투입돼 공개 전부터 화제가 되기도 했던 이 게임을 소개한다.

This study examined to the aspects of capital and class structure, focusing on 'Reproduction' of Bourdieu, P, through collecting the post titles of the game community of online FPS games 'Overwatch' and 'Battleground', related to keyword, 'Game Hack'. The data used in the study was collected and refined through the statistical program R and analyzed by the analysis site 'Bigkinds'. At results, we will reveal that the class structure of the online FPS gamer group is based on cultural capital and reproduction, and suggest the right direction for the Game Hack regulation policy from the point of view of the cultural capital theory.

Many studies in deep learning show results as good as human's decision in various fields. And importance of activation of online-community and SNS grows up in game industry. Even it decides whether a game can be successful or not. The purpose of this study is to construct a system which can read texts and create comments according to schedule in online-community and SNS using deep learning. Using recurrent neural network, we constructed models generating a comment and a schedule of writing comments, and made program choosing a news title and uploading the comment at twitter in calculated time automatically. This study can be applied to activating an online game community, a Q&A service, etc.

This paper suggests the way to build the integration of internal server by using link server with virtualization method. With the development of on-line games, game communities began to be formed by users, players get fun from playing games, sharing online space with friends, clans, and parties. However, the limit of physical server restrict the allows under average a hundred users to play at same time and place, and three thousand to ten thousand people to access to game community with chat, message, friends functions. By following the explanation of the method from this paper, this limit can be overcome. It will give the function to share information of all connected users in one displayed server. This paper demonstrates the key quality requirements of the server built by this way such as scalable architecture, consistency, and latency is fulfilled.

이 연구는 현재 클로즈베타 성인 게임 중 많은 동시접속자수를 가지고 있는 ProjectA3를 대상으로 연구하였다. 게임중독이나 게임에 관련된 대부분의 연구들은 청소년을 대상으로 많이 연구가 되었는데 요즘은 성인들의 게임중독으로 인해서 자살, 폭행, 현금거래 등으로 많은 청소년들보다 훨씬 강도 높은 문제점이 발견이 된다. 본 연구는 성인 온라인 게임 중 ProjectA3를 초점으로 잡고 몰입하게 하는 요인 게임 내러티브와 실제 플레이어들의 커뮤니티를 분석하였다.

This study aims to investigate the gamification effect of the badge awards, the most popular gamification process, on users participation behavior. This study also attempts to investigate the effect of tailored gamification, which designs the system of gamification differently based on users' characteristics, focusing on the level of online user information disclosure. For this, we collect and analyze data on 557 users and 1,048,020 answers from StackOverflow, an online Q&A community for developers. The results show that providing a badge is effective for increasing the amount of user participation, whereas providing a goal through the badge is partially effective for increasing the quality of participation. However, the moderating effect of whether users disclose their SNS information on the relationship between badge gaining and participation decrease is not statistically significant. For platform operators, our findings emphasize the importance of gamification design to enhance user engagement effectively.

In this paper appears that in this extremely attractive and growing services segment, academics, as well as practitioners, would benefit from investigating the relationships among the players' loyalty, word of mouth and flow, and the impacts of several other key game-related constructs on consumer behavioral intentions. A conceptual framework is proposed and a structural equation model is developed. This paper develops the exploratory LISREL model for identifying the factors affecting the players' loyalty for some specific brand of online games. The concept of flow, feedback, challenge, etc, are all introduced into the model, as the independent variables affecting the loyalty directly and indirectly. Statistical results show that depending upon the types of games, the configuration of structural equation model is a little different from each other, but overall results are very much intuitive in that challenge positively enforces flow, and flow strengthens loyalty. Other interesting results concerning game development strategy are also provided. It is hoped that this result might provide the useful guidelines for developing the successful online game contents. With a better understanding of the players' behavioral intentions, online game developers should be able to make adjustments in their development and marketing plans, providing them with a sustainable advantage over their competition.

A study examined the causal effects of online social self-efficacy on online game life satisfaction. A total of 1,754 Korean online game users who play 'Goon-Zu' completed a questionnaire developed by the present researchers. The results were as follows. First, there was a significant positive correlation among online social self-efficacy, social support from online game community, online relation satisfaction, and achievement satisfaction in online games. Second, it was found that the partial mediation model explained the data better than the full mediation model.

본 논문에서는 <오버워치>나 <리그 오브 레전드> 등의 이용자끼리 실력을 겨루는 형태의 경쟁적인 온라인 게임들에서 이용되어지고 있는 게임 핵의 종류와 사용 실태를 조사하고 이에 따른 개선 방안을 제시한다. 여러 가지 종류의 온라인 게임 핵에 대해서 알아보고 해당 핵이 어떤 게임에서 어떤 식으로 적용 되는지 설명하고, 유저들이 핵으로 인하여 개발사, 대회 주관사 등의 여러 기관에서 입는 피해 사례를 조사하고 이에 따른 현재 사용되고 있는 각 개발사들의 조치 방안 및 유저 커뮤니티의 의견 등을 통해 실태에 대해서 연구한다. 결론으로는 위의 조사한 자료를 바탕으로 어떻게 하면 현재 성행하고 있는 게임 핵사용을 방지하고 차단하는지에 대한 개선 방안을 제시하고 나아가 개발 및 운영 차원에서는 어떤 식으로 지원해야 하는지 등의 내용을 제시한다.

As Web-based online communities are rapidly growing, the agents in social groups need to know their measurable belief of trust for safe andsuccessful interactions. In this paper, we propose a computational model of trust resulting from available feedbacks in online communities. The notion of trust can be defined as an aggregation of consensus given a set of past interactions. The averagetrust of an agent further represents the center of gravity of the distribution of its trustworthiness and untrustworthiness. And then, we precisely describe the relationship between reputation, trust, and averagetrust through a concrete example of their computations. We apply our trust model to online internet settings in order to show how trust mechanisms are involved in a rational decision-making of the agents.
