A visual novel, a type of digital content combining novel and game, was designed as hypermedia which includes various media, for instance, image, sound, and video. The narrative of visual novel contains multimedia elements and highlights multi-scenario structures based on hypertext. Prior to creating visual novel scenario, a writer should thoroughly consider two main points. First of all, the scenario should cover the multimedia features of visual novel. Secondly, the scenario should be structured as a multi-scenario providing with performativity to players for interaction with readers. This study examines the influence of changes in platforms on visual novel scenario adjusted to mobile environment. It would provide an opportunity to understand how storytelling changes and adapts to rapid transformation of digital media contents.

The trend in the domestic MMORPG online game market is on decline because of the change in customers attitude and the advent of mobile or foreign games. The underlying cause of depressed domestic game market is that it has been failing to provide quality service arising from not revising existing game design. For this reason, this paper sets out to gather game users' opinions and to analyze successful domestic and foreign games comparatively to approve the importance and necessity of scenario development and to solve current problems in the MMORPG market. As one solution, this paper proposes a new design method, TIME FLOW scenario technique. This technique aims to establish a system in which story and environment change as time progresses and thus can provide different contents to its users over time. It is expected to enable a new frame for game design environment and to restructure education environment for human resource cultivation.

Game scenarios are playing more important role as much as games are getting more sophisticated and expanded in their applications. However, general-purpose tools for production of game scenarios are still not developed. There are similar tools for the production of films or dramas and simple tools for the development of UCG. However, analysis about them shows that they are not suitable for the production of game scenarios. In this paper, we are to develop game scenario authoring tool called 'UMa' suitable for game production and easy to use. UMa is composed of synopsis entry, quest entry, DB entry, communication, display, and control component. Since UMa provides templates to make synopsis, quest, and DB, users can produce them very easily. Especially, characters and items DB are stored independently so that they may be reused to the production of scenarios for follow-up or another game. Using UMa, users can write game scenarios more easily and quickly and cooperate with each other at the same time by Web.

The game has both directionalities that users are to choose and act accordingly. In this regard, the game scenario goes beyond just conveying the story, and trains users and guide them in playing the Same. However, this Same scenario is huge in size and every event is linked with each other so that it was rather difficult to have it made in practice. A study proposes that a script, the minimum unit, is built into a database, and based on which, quests are made, then the resulting quests are built back into a database. Scripts are classified into text, graphic and sound type and these are positioned in accordance with the quest structure. With this method, one can re-use the existing scenarios and can overcome the negatives of irregular qualities of scenarios.

The success or failure of a game depends on its creativity. Especially during the first period of the process. For this reason, requesting CGTS(Creative Group Thinking System) -previously developed system based on web- in the scenario process of the game designing development. In accordance, this study is to program the thinking performance in result of increasing creativity obect to shortening working hours.

In this research, we analyze change of directions and issues in future game industry. We start to analyze change of game contents and platform about impact of game industry under the digital convergence, and then we spread out a point of view about game user, game company, distribution of game industry over the length and breadth of game industry. In this paper, we analyze the future state of changing and the issues in online game industry under the digital convergence. For this research, we develop the on-line game industry's changing scenario. On the basis of the issue analysis about the future of the On-line game industry, we aim to provide some implications for business strategy of on-line game companies and policy of the government.

Recently, The online role playing games (RPG) get into spotlight of worldwide game marketing area because of the rapid growth of high speed Internet environment during a decade. The almost online RPGs are made of campaign scenario that constructed in series. In this paper, we propose the Distributed Server Model for the Evolutionary Online RPGs which have series scenario (Campaign). In order to represents evolutionary online RPGs, We configure the online RPG server uniquely by means of one to one mapping between logical and physical game world. We also configure the game worlds using circular queue form to express the evolution of civilization by reconstruction of game world.

Most of the previous game development has proceeded in the approaches of the temporal-oriented synchronization because of producing game objects by using general authoring tools, and ad hoc or trial and error methods has been devised for representation of spatial concept. This paper is a study on the unification notation for spatio-temporal synchronization to conquest this fault. First of all, we classify game space as temporal object, spatial object, absolute/relative spatio-temporal space. The spatio-temporal relationships are divided into temporal extent, temporal location, spatial extent, and spatial location. In the paper the temporal and spatial relationships of game scene are defined to represent the synchronization, and we propose new unification notation by temporal and spatial concept to represent two concepts putting emphasis on space. Their relationships are presented on 3D by creating time axis related with time in scene unit of the two dimensional plane in the pivot on space. The usability of this representation method are shown by applying examples of game scenario.

Virtual Reality(VR) is one of the most remarkable technologies in the current game industry. Nevertheless, it is difficult for the game industry to actively invest in the VR technology because of the technical problems to overcome and the uncertainty about the market possibility. Therefore, this study attempts to estimate the future possibilities of the VR game market in various angles. For the purpose, we explore the domestic game market from the past to the present, and forecast the game industry ecosystem using the Scenario Network Mapping. Based on the result, we propose a short and long term future prospect and suggest the possible strategies for each stakeholder of the VR game market.

The Korean on-line game industry is going through a rapid change. The future business environments for potential on-line game companies are very uncertain due to the new service and the different market trends. In this paper, I propose the use of morphological analysis approach for scenario generation about the future of the On-line game industry. The stages of research process were as follows; Firstly, digital contents analysis and key issues were drawn on IPTV in the on-line game industry. Secondly, each key issue was analyzed and the influence factors and directivity flow were found. Thirdly, highly probable future on-line game industry scenarios were derived. In this case, morphological analysis. On the basis of the developed scenarios, I formulated some implications for business strategy of a potential on-line game companies.
