This study explores the effects of 'save and load' on game storytelling. In video games, a player can control the game she plays by repeatedly saving and loading game data until she reaches her intended goal. As a consequence, a player can manage the game time. In this article, game time is divided into two parts; play time and story time in order to examine how player's intentions are reflected in game storytelling. This is what distinguishes game narrative from others in that the player generates her own story by saving and loading.

The game has several genres. Actions, RPGs, FPS, and simulations are diverse, and the game that flows around the story is a game genre that feels like watching a movie on the other. Internet game broadcasters can be thought of as playing a movie in a movie theater when they broadcast a story-type game. The difference with the movie theater is that you can get involved in the story by showing your play directly to viewers. As a broadcasting material, story-type games are a good means, but the fact that the story is published on the Internet in terms of game publishers can have a negative impact on sales revenue as viewers can enjoy the story without purchasing the game. The purpose of this study is to analyze the coordination status between producers and internet broadcasters for story-type games that could be copyrighted and suggest ways to move forward.

The feature of digital media's interactivity made the traditional storytelling to be evolved into a new concept of digital storytelling. Unlike films or animations, games' storytelling takes open-ended design method; thus, it is possible to create unlimited number of stones within a game depending upon the decisions of player characters. In this paper, a character-centered game storytelling system of a highly story-based RPG genre will be reviewed, and, it analyzes case studies of how a character with various story values can interact with its background story, virtual game world, and many events in its game storytelling system. Game storytelling structure and game mechanics are related to each other very closely. Therefore, it is possible to control the player's overall movement as the character's story develops according to a predictable structure or situation.

게임의 스토리는 게임 내에서 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 스토리를 통해 플레이어가 게임에 자연스럽게 녹아 들 수 있도록 동기를 부여하며, 게임 진행에 대한 당위성을 부여하고 더 나아가서는 게임 스토리가 게임의 핵심 재미 요소가 되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 게임 스토리를 RPG 장르의 측면에서 분석하고 설문 조사를 통해 게임 스토리에 대한 장단점을 분석하여 현재 발생하고 있는 게임 스토리 패스에 대한 분석과 개선에 도움을 주고자 한다.

The movie and game are on the center of entertainment industry. The OSMU(One Source Multi Use) method of two media is the most conspicuous in sharing stories. Particularly, the storytelling of a game emphasizes a harmonization between the elements that can be used for a game on narrative point of view(the traditional plot like novel, film and etc.) and the elements reflecting the interactivity, the characteristic of a game. In the gaming made with a film and filming made with a game, the main element of successful storytelling is the story value. In this paper, we describe through the case analysis of the gaming made with a film and filing made with a game in three aspects based on hero's journey steps of Joseph Campbell and $Gr\acute{e}mas's$ actant model theory, which they are the story event, the type and relation of characters, and the complication type between the characters. we, consequently, believe that the compatible storytelling between two media (film and game) and the setting way of characters could be made with the successful diversification in OSMU.

In this study, we propose an ensemble engine, which is a framework for game engine optimized for visual novels genre, focusing on storytelling among various game genres. The game of Visual Nobel genre is based on multi-ending story and features branching of various scenarios according to user's choice. The proposed engine supports various multi-scenarios and multi-endings based on nodes according to the characteristics of these genres. In addition, it provides a convenient and intuitive user interface that not only enhances user immersion but also provides VR function to maximize the sense of presence. We will demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed game engine by designing the framework of a game engine suitable for this feature and actually creating variety stories automatically.
