This study explored the expandability and prospect of the game, one of the cultural contents that may potentially lead the next Korean Wave. The study found that for the game to grow and be recognized as the cultural product of the Korean Wave, it was necessary to develop the strategies to ensure the sustainability of the game and to build plans for powerful storytelling techniques that help the public become more familiarized with the game as part of the Korean Wave and maximize the public's affinity and preference of such game. It was also found that one of the immediate priorities is to develop the games that are characterized as their unique use and representation of the Korean culture in the global market while designing effective localization plans and paving the way for a government-level system of support.

This study is to examine the types of expression and aesthetic characteristics of on-line game characters by analyzing those game characters' body and their costume that appear in various domestic on-line game sites. It is shown in this study that types of the human bodies and costume expressed through the game characters are grouped into five categories such as exposure and tightness, enlargement and exaggeration, curtailment and simplification, gender stereotype and unification. Furthermore, there are four typical aesthetic characteristics resulting from those types of expressions; First, 'grotesque' is expressed in the form of extreme enlargement and exaggeration, extreme exposure and concealment, combined images among human, animal or machine, or monstrous devilish images. Second, in an effort to express 'eroticism', bodies are directly exposed, see-through costumes are used in order to emphasize the body lines or very tight designs are used. Third, 'futuristic' characteristics are shown through geometrical shape and silhouette, machine-like details, strong artificial colors or glossy hi-tech material. Lastly, 'pastiche' is expressed with reconciliation of variety of costumes of game characters. Various opposite or heterogeneous styles are combined or harmonized each other to show pastiche, of which examples are male and female, superior culture and inferior one, rich and poor, oriental and western, human and machine, human and nature or past and future, etc.

기술이 발달하고 게임에 대한 유저의 인식이 높아지면서 내러티브는 게임의 강력한 경쟁 수단 중 하나로 떠오르고 있다. 하지만 국내 게임, 특히 온라인 게임에서는 내러티브에 대한 연구가 부족하고 내러티브의 중요성을 등한시하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 게임과 MMORPG에서의 내러티브에 대해 설명하고 MMORPG에서 활용할 수 있는 내러티브 요소로 NPC와의 상호작용을 강화시킬 것을 제안한다.

국내 모바일 MMORPG 시장에서 구글플레이 스토어, 앱 스토어의 매출 순위를 보면 순위 안에 있는 게임 중에 가챠 시스템이 없는 게임을 찾기가 힘들 정도로 모바일게임에서 가챠 시스템은 게임의 전체 매출에서 많은 비중을 차지한다. 과거 가챠 시스템으로 인하여 사행성과 과금 유도가 너무 심해져 2015년 확률형 아이템 규제 법안이 발의되어 현재까지 게임회사들은 확률을 공개해왔다. 하지만 공개된 확률에는 유저들이 모르는 큰 오류가 존재한다. 본 논문에서 그 오류를 알아보고 모바일 게임 가챠 시스템의 건전성을 확보하기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
