  • The development of human-friendly game technologies understanding and responding to human emotion is a very crucial element in designing games. Out of emotion derived from games, this study attempted to define characteristics of games as a meaning representing the degree of reaching the targeted emotion. When examining most of researches regarding emotion, it has been noted that they tried to extract the most representative emotion through the systematization of emotional vocabulary and evaluate it by the association with the design elements in question. However, this definition would be beneficial only to understanding the direction of game entity and it could not express the emotion of concrete and objective players. Therefore, this study attempted to analyze the sense correlation of adjectives so as for emotional expressions to be represented accurately corresponding to players' intention, by using adjective thesaurus for the systematic understanding of such game entity.

  • Texture Mapping is a technique for adding realism to an image in 3D graphics Chip. Bilinear filtering mode of this technique needs accesses of 4 texels to process one pixel. In this paper we analyzed the access pattern of texture, and proposed the high performance texture cache which can access 4 texels simultaneously. We evaluated using simulation results of 3D game(Quake 3, Unreal Tournament 2004). Simulation results show that proposed texture cache has high performance on the case where physical size is less then or equal 8KBytes.

  • Survival horror games aim to seek cathartic psychological escapism from the framed fear or hostile environment. However, if the goal of the game playing is only "survival" against hostile environment, the motivation of such environment adaptive games may not be based on the framed fear. We may call such games as "environment adaptive survival games". In this paper, we analyze the contents of six such survival games that have large user groups in Steam platform based on the pilot survey. We extract 13 almost common fun elements that induce the fun of such games. An online user survey was conducted through multiple survival game cafe to investigate who play such games. There was no gender differences in playing time but females prefer constructing tools as a fun element and play puzzle and simulation games more than males. We found that survival games could be welcomed by female users under 30 years old if 'horror' element was minimized.

  • Gamification is receiving much attention from a variety of fields of life as it has tremendous potential to help people get experienced with 'fun' by the elements of game mechanism and thus attract their voluntary participation eventually to reach the state of 'flow'. Some studies examined this process with a focus the relationship between game elements and flow while others regarded the game elements as fun elements and discussed the relationship between fun and flow. However, starting from the fact that the fundamental reason humans play a game is for fun and fun is in turn induced through game elements, our study defines fun as an emotion and uses it a factors are also introduced as control variables for the study on the belief that game elements affecting fun will apparently vary depending on the cultural dimensions. This study confirms that difference exists in correlations between game element, fun, and flow, depending on the different cultural settings. By comparing samples from Korea and Austria, each representing the east and the west respectively, it was found that 'social fun' affects flow and both 'relationship' and 'reward' are in turn affecting social fun in case of Korea. On the other hand, Austrian case reveals that cognitive fun affects flow and game elements affecting cognitive fun are 'story' and 'reward'.
