고속 네트워크의 급속한 발전과 인터넷의 확산 및 컴퓨터 성능의 고급화로 여러 명의 사용자들이 동시에 게임을 진행 할 수 있도록 하는 다중 사용자용 온라인 게임에 대한 요구와 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 다중 사용자용 온라인 게임에서 중요한 요소인 사실적인 게임 진행을 실감하기 위해서는 동기화가 중요한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 온라인 게임에서의 게임 유저들 간의 효율적인 상태 동기화를 위해 FSM (Finite State Machine)과 이벤트 잠금 (Event holding) 기법을 결합한 동기화 기법과 코드의 최적화 기법을 제안하고, 이를 적용한 게임서버 및 클라이언트를 구현하여 여러 클라이언트들과의 게임 실행을 통한 테스트를 통해 제안 기법의 효용성과 신뢰성을 보였다.

최근 들어 현실 세계에 새로운 가치를 창출하는 메타버스에 대한 관심이 높아졌다. 그런 메타버스를 쉽게 체험할 수 있게끔 기존 수집형 AR 게임 형태에서 벗어나서 랜드마크를 기반으로 사용자가 주도적으로 환경을 탐사하고 콘텐츠를 즐기는 체험형 메타버스 AR 게임을 개발하였다. 메타버스의 중요한 특징으로는 현실세계와의 연결성, 상호작용성, 디지털 통화가 있다. 해당 게임은 AR을 통하여 일상의 연장을 추구하고, 실시간 채팅 및 팀 경쟁을 통하여 상호작용성을 만족하려 한다. 마지막으로 상점 시스템을 통하여 디지털 통화를 구축한다. 모바일 게임으로 구현하여 스마트폰만 있다면 언제든 접속할 수 있게 하여 접근성을 높였다.

This paper explores the use of machine learning in game production to create goal-oriented, realistic animations for skeleton monsters. The purpose of this research is to enhance realism by implementing intelligent movements in monsters within game development. To achieve this, we designed and implemented a learning model for skeleton monsters using reinforcement learning algorithms. During the machine learning process, various reward conditions were established, including the monster's speed, direction, leg movements, and goal contact. The use of configurable joints introduced physical constraints. The experimental method validated performance through seven statistical graphs generated using machine learning methods. The results demonstrated that the developed model allows skeleton monsters to move to their target points efficiently and with natural animation. This paper has implemented a method for creating game monster animations using machine learning, which can be applied in various gaming environments in the future. The year 2024 is expected to bring expanded innovation in the gaming industry. Currently, advancements in technology such as virtual reality, AI, and cloud computing are redefining the sector, providing new experiences and various opportunities. Innovative content optimized for this period is needed to offer new gaming experiences. A high level of interaction and realism, along with the immersion and fun it induces, must be established as the foundation for the environment in which these can be implemented. Recent advancements in AI technology are significantly impacting the gaming industry. By applying many elements necessary for game development, AI can efficiently optimize the game production environment. Through this research, We demonstrate that the application of machine learning to Unity and game engines in game development can contribute to creating more dynamic and realistic game environments. To ensure that VR gaming does not end as a mere craze, we propose new methods in this study to enhance realism and immersion, thereby increasing enjoyment for continuous user engagement.

While the Internet continues to integrate with modern lives, the risks of negative outcomes resulting from problematic use (PU) are also increasing. Although psychological well-being and use motivations have been shown to play major roles in Internet PU, understanding the moderating mechanism is critical for advanced knowledge. The present study employed survey data from users of a live video-game streaming service (LVGS) that is an area rarely been studied. Result concluded a positive moderating effect of escapism motive (EM) on the association between loneliness and the PU of LVGS, while the moderating mechanism between EM and stress was not indicated. A moderating effect of information seeking (IS) on the relationship between stress and the PU of LVGS was found negative, but no mechanism between IS and loneliness was indicated. This study highlights how the interplay of different motivation and pathologies may induce or prevent video-game-related addiction.

After COVID-19, various metaverse platforms for online lectures are being provided. Most of the classrooms are tiered type, and they are divided into intensive classrooms and open classrooms depending on the shape of the classrooms. Intensive classrooms provide a one-sided lecture format, so there are many difficulties in conducting communication-based classes that carry out team missions like PBL classes. In this study, we propose a metaverse classroom that applies the functions of a multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), one of the game genres suitable for PBL classes. The proposed system provides various interaction techniques for PBL classes. We evaluated user satisfaction when this was applied to actual classes. As a result of the evaluation, it was found that users preferred text and voice chatting more than video chatting and solving missions like games was very helpful in online classes.

Research on the visual narrative impact of Unreal Engine's Lumen lighting system in games aims to delve into how Lumen's lighting technology plays a crucial role in game design and gameplay experience, thereby enhancing the visual storytelling of games. Lumen, Unreal Engine's dynamic global illumination solution, calculates lighting and shadows in real-time during gameplay, creating a more realistic and immersive environment. Analysis indicates that Lumen technology not only provides visually realistic and dynamic lighting effects but also significantly enriches the expressiveness and immersion of the game narrative through its changes in light and shadow.

Known as "The Ninth Form of Art", video game is a form of hypermedia art rising in response to the rapid development of modern technology, with millions of fans worldwide. From the perspective of the game market, those games that have high stickiness and a long operating cycle usually have abundant doujin works. As a spontaneous behavior of the players, doujin culture reflects the players' feelings towards and perception of the games, and it reacts upon the original game while relying on it, exerting a far-reaching influence on the operation of game products. We try to analyze the influences of doujin culture on game operation performance, hoping to provide game operators with some useful ideas.
