We have developed a serious game for the elderly named 'Paldokangsan3' as a next version of 'Paldokangsan2' which was a walking game with memorization in shopping streets using controllers of hand buttons and foot boards with PC developed in 2012. The interface of had buttons and food boards were changed into the interface of motion capture with the aid of Kinect. The expected effects are improvement of memorization, improvement of concentration ability to find out items in the vision, improvement of vitality through physical walking actions, as well as improvement of mental health through entertainment activities of game play. We have tested 25 volunteers of more than 65 years old in Cheonan city community center for the elderly for 2 weeks. We got the result that the game play was showing positive effectiveness on memorization, physical exercise and self-esteem in mental health area of the elderly.

With the development of ICT technology, the game industry is growing rapidly. However, due to the excessive play of the game, there are cases where normal life is difficult. It is necessary to study the diagnosis and countermeasures against such game addiction. This paper study a system for diagnosing game addiction based on game usage information of game users. In order to develop a game addiction diagnostic system, this study classifies game addiction and abuse users and collects and models log information in real game environment. In addition, the addiction and good use model of game users was used as a knowledge to diagnose the addiction of new game users. Through the experiment, we could confirm the meaningful results. Also, according to the result of the diagnosis, the service such as SMS and reporting was suggested.

In this research, a VR game was developed to experience the fire evacuation from a fired building, intending calm and fast reaction in urgent fire situations. The user should move out through the fire door, stairs and corridors toward exit door using the VIVE controllers. When the user can't proceed the path because of fire flame or smoke, he/she should turn back to find another path. A building of Hoseo university was modeled and tests were carried out by students with polls focused on the usability and the effectiveness of this VR game. The result has been analyzed to show their responses.

The Worldwide Game Industry is getting recognized in the center of the culture contents industry, the total amount of the worldwide game industry is going to be over a hundred billion dollars in 2008 and the worldwide game industry will play a role of leading the growth of culture contents industry. To survive under the current circumstance, it is time to consider the research of the development direction and inspection of factors which Korea game industry has the superiority in the current worldwide game industry. As the result of the rapid growth of IT technology, home networking and ubiquitous environments are getting made up and the competition power of the worldwide game market is also getting hotter, The purpose of this thesis is to show the research and development direction of the organization system that has a effective texture mapping production pipeline among the whole game graphic production pipelines in order to have a international competition power and the future of Korea game industry.

We have developed a serious game for the elderly named 'Paldokangsan 2' in 2012 as a next version of 'Paldokangsan 1'. 'Paldokangsan 1' was a walking game for two people using controllers of armrests and footboards with PC. 'Paldokangsan 2' had additional purpose to assist cognitive, physical, and psychological functions of the elderly. Especially, walking activity was implemented in a way that a player walks around the old traditional market place in 1970's while remembering and choosing healthy food to buy. We also developed two mini games for the elderly and people with functional disability with the similar purpose as 'Paldokangsan2'. 219 older adults (age$$\geq_-$$ 65) recruited from Asan city community center participated in the study. The result showed that the game play exerted positive effects on memory, concentration and vitality of the elderly.

Recently Internet of things(IoT) industry has grown, Giant company of the world, have developed a variety of equipment using this. Several things are to be able to enjoy the game of devices have been developed game that play with the device has been released. This paper aims to derive the necessary element for the game development around IoT equipment. In this study, we investigated several cases using IoT device that have been released and have been developed abroad, literature related to game development reviewed. As a result, majority case using in game field, it appeared by using virtual reality that supported the 3D screen using a head-mounted display, in addition, have been released motion-based game.

The last few years have represented a boom for the online gaming industry. Internet-based online games have been an increasingly popular form of entertainment. The gaming industry estimates there will be over 26 million online gaming participants in 2002. The rapid development of online game content and related information technology will increase the size of the industry and have a profound impact on many aspects of our lives and our society. This paper develops the exploratory LISREL model for identifying the factors affecting the players' loyalty to a specific brand of online game. The concepts of flow, word of mouth, feedback, challenge, social norms, and online community activities, etc, are all introduced into the model, as the independent variables directly and indirectly affecting loyalty. Based on data collected from an online survey, the validity of the model has been tested and interesting conclusions have been developed concerning the relationships between loyalty and flow, word of mouth, and other independent variables. It is hoped that this result might provide useful guidelines for developing successful online game content.

Game program manufacture had been classed by 3D or on-line game etc. simply. But, atomized game programmer's kind now. So, Artificial Intelligence game programmer's role is important. This paper used reinforcement learning algorithm for Jul_Gonu board characters to learn, and so they can move intelligently. To compare a learned character to an random one, a board game was created, and then they fought against each other. As a result, learned character‘s ability was far more improved.

In this study, 100 types of computationally proposed digital games were analyzed based on the expected marketability. The game classification methodology with five classification criteria proposed by Kim (2017) and the elimination method leveraged by the Decision Tree have been adopted as the methodology of the study. As a result, digital games could be classified into three groups. With the result, designers in the field will be able to leverage computational design methodology to develop a new type of digital game more efficiently by following the proposed hierarchy.
