The purpose of this study is to analyze user-generated rules in online games and to define the way of players' identities are developed. This study focuses on the online game League of Legends, which originated from use map system. Based on rule theory, this study analyzes the characteristics of user-generated rules. As the result, this study proves that the main rule of online game is not the rules made by developers, but the emergent rules made by players. Through rule-detection and rule-selection process, user-generated rules change the game system. Therefore, the result of this study expects to show meaningful roles of players in game system.

The ultimate purpose of producing game is to make successful sale as making players to be fun. We have to identify fun factors of game and analyze player activities more detail to make fun game. In this paper, we compare game fun factors and select the most detailed one of them and then computed weight factors with AHP method. Based on survey of game players of the selected fun factors, we quantified satisfaction of game fun factors. The result of this paper can be used for assessment of game fun satisfaction and establish game development strategy to implement fun factors according to game genre.

OlineGame Player suffers very big impact in environment of game World. Therefore, physical environment that is embodied to Gameworld is truth and immersion important element that experience to Player. Also, Game-System that embodied physical environment influences in Game Play can give more game player truth and immersion. I mainly MMORPG that is serviced present in this study investigated. 'What earth habitat factor was embodied and What influence does embodied earth habit at factor exert on game play'. I searched what problem is to design game system that do earth environment simulation. And I asserted development of environment information system to approach game system that do earth environment simulation by easier method. Environment information system is system that process status information of stand-by status, wind, wind speed, topography etc.. of game World.

기존의 비디오 게임이나 오락실 게임은 PC상에서 다양한 에뮬레이터 상에서 실행되고 있으며 단일 사용자 게임으로 진행되고 있다. 그러나 통신기술이 발전되고 게임 기술이 발전하면서 많은 부분에 변화가 일어났다. 이러한 변화는 곧 많은 게임 개발자와 게임 개발 회사들의 관심을 단일 사용자 게임에서 다중 사용자 게임으로 옮기게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 비디오 게임을 지원하는 에뮬레이터 게임에 네트워크 모듈을 지원함으로써 네트워크 게임을 할 수 있는 플랫폼을 구성하고자 하며, 서버의 부하를 분산시키기 위하여 분산 로비시스템을 도입한 Peer to peer 방식의 네트워크 게임을 실행 할 수 있는 메카니즘 및 실시간 게임을 위한 동기화 방안을 제안한다.

It is for sure that a stable game managing system is absolutely needed to accept simultaneous interfacing of many users for P2P on-line game system. The proposed P2P on-line game system in this paper is able to get smart and stable game managing taking care of extensive players through reorganizing numerous RS(Region Server) and mutual communications among RS's which can be avoid congestion on one region. Moreover, it is possible to synchronize for game nodes in time stamp utilizing Global Zone Buffer of Monitoring Server which leads to breakup loads. The system manages middleware layers in the so-called sub area, and it is able to execute no matter how big the game sizes are. That means, in some ways, we got everything we try to ensure such as the problems of high cost server and stabilization of message transmission. This paper welcomes to prove efficiency of the suggested system through the simulation.

A sense of oneness between a player and an avatar is more emphasized than role-playing itself in Korean RPG playing. Because of this tendency, the main contents of smart phone-based mobile RPG are mainly focus on combat. As PvP occurs more frequently in mobile RPG, playing experiences are diversified from sensitive control to simple repetition. Also, the auto-combat function offered in game system ingenerates funs from testing a mental model that a player statistically sets before playing. This paper analyzes the process of generating fun in mobile RPG based on Ralph Koster's Game Grammar theory. is selected as subject of this analysis. The pattern of mobile RPG playing is dichotomized : automation of producing materials and concentration on raid and PvP contents.

We present the computer table tennis game using player's swing motion. We need to transform a real world coordinate into a virtual world coordinate in order to hit the virtual ball. We can not get a correct 3-dimension position of racket in environment that using one camera or simple image processing. Therefore we use Augmented Reality (AR) concept to develop the game. This paper shows the AR table tennis game using gesture and method to develop the 3D interaction game that only using one camera without any motion detection device or stereo cameras. Also, we use a scan line method to recognize gesture for speedy processing. The game is developed using ARtoolkit and DirectX that is popular tool of SDK for game development.

Lately the VR (Virtual Reality) game genre is becoming increasingly more popular and it has been cementing its place in the market as its own independent game genre. The key advantage of VR is that it lowers the barrier between player and the virtual world, thus creating an immersive experience. The suggested method develops a game that allows the player to experience what it is like to be visually impaired using the unique characteristics of VR. A distinctive feature of this game is that the character is provided only a limited range of sight, which is created using silhouette outlines. This restrictive visual field is then grafted onto VR and the player can indirectly experience blindness in a highly immersive manner. The silhouette outline along with the particle system is created using Oculus Rift, a headset highly used in VR game development, and Unity 3D game engine. We will also explain in detail regarding the removal of borders between the objects.

The purpose of this study is to analyze figurations of genders in on-line game character in order to find out the ways of building gender identity of on-line game characters. This study selects characters in on-line game to analyze figurations of genders in game systems, images, discourses of game characters by using gender identity theory and examine the reproducing process of players. As the result, the gender identity of on-line game characters which was pre-given by game developers follows the same conventions and stereotypes in real world and also the players follow it in the same manner. On-line game has the potential of text involvement and modification of the game players, and it has immanent possibilities of becoming alternative space of endless improvement and evolvement.

The feature of digital media's interactivity made the traditional storytelling to be evolved into a new concept of digital storytelling. Unlike films or animations, games' storytelling takes open-ended design method; thus, it is possible to create unlimited number of stones within a game depending upon the decisions of player characters. In this paper, a character-centered game storytelling system of a highly story-based RPG genre will be reviewed, and, it analyzes case studies of how a character with various story values can interact with its background story, virtual game world, and many events in its game storytelling system. Game storytelling structure and game mechanics are related to each other very closely. Therefore, it is possible to control the player's overall movement as the character's story develops according to a predictable structure or situation.
