전문 스토리텔러들을 양성하기 위한 실무 스토리텔링론이 적극 연구되어야 한다. 최근에 디지털스토리텔링에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 게임스토리텔링의 이론적인 연구가 다양한 각도에서 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 정작 스토리텔러를 양성하기 위한 체계적인 게임 스토리텔링론은 이론적인 틀에 머물고 있으며, 실무적인 부분과 이론적인 부분의 융합은 아직도 미약하기 그지없는 상황이다. 본고에서는 실무적인 게임스토리텔링의 완성도를 높이기 위해, 게임의 내러티브를 구축해 주는 가장 핵심적인 4요소(인물, 사건, 세계관, 게임의 인터랙티브 요소)의 리스트를 작성해 보았다. 스토리텔러가 구상하는 창의적인 발상이 각 분야의 디자이너들에게 정확하게 전달될 수 있도록, 실무적인 측면에서 디테일한 정보리스트를 완성시켜보자는 것이 본 연구의 목표이다.

Online game business has emerged as the most lucrative entertainment industry, with over 10 million players in South Korea and over 30 million in Japan in 2005. The popularity of online games can be attributed to the availability of broadband network, pushing online games into the mainstream entertainment culture. The age distribution of online game players is expanding and a variety of new games are under development to target certain age groups. While the interactive entertainment market continues to expand, with many new online game publishers entering the Japan, relatively little is known about which factors influence online game players' behavioral intentions to play continuously in this area. This study investigates major factors which influence the acceptance of online game services based on the theoretical backgrounds of the technology acceptance model(TAM) and the flow theory. This paper extended the Davis' TAM model by including the flow concept as another major factor toward the intention to play online game. Based on data collected from online questionnaire survey, we show that the proposed model provides an adequate fit to the data, and that the flow experience is another important factor influencing the intention to play online game, as well as the perceived ease of use.

As Christine Daley suggested, "interaction-image" is considered to be typical in the age of "Cinema 3.0", which integrates the interactivity of game art and obscures the boundary between producers and customers. In this case, users are allowed to involve actively in the scene as "players" to manage the tempo of the story to some extent, it, thus, makes users pleased to watch interactive movies repeatedly for trying a diverse option to unlock more branch lines. Accordingly, this paper aims to analyze the contributory factors and effect mechanism of users' reuse intention for gamified interactive movies and offer specific concepts to improve the reuse intention from the interactive film production and operation perspectives. Upon integrating the Flow theory and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and separating the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations of key factors based on Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R), the research builds an empirical analysis model for users' reuse intention with cognition, design, attitude emotional experience and conducts an empirical analysis on 425 pieces of valid sample data applying SPSS22 and Amos23. The results show that user satisfaction and flow experience impact users' reuse intention highly and perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, remote perception, interactivity, and flow experience have significant positive influence on user satisfaction experience.

On-line game business has emerged as the most lucrative entertainment industry, with over 4 million players in China, with more than 45% of the market dominated by Korean on-line games. While the interactive entertainment market continues to expand, with many new Korean on-line game publishers entering the market, relatively little is known about which factors influence online game players' behavioral intentions (i.e., intention to play, brand-identity, word of mouth, flow, etc.) in this area. It appears that in this extremely attractive and growing services segment, academics, as well as practitioners, would benefit from investigating the relationships among the players' intention to play, social norms, word of mouth, flow, and the impacts of several other key game-related constructs. A conceptual framework is proposed and a simultaneous equation model is developed. This paper develops the exploratory LISREL model for identifying the factors affecting the players' intention to play for on-line games. Based on data collected from on-line questionnaire survey in China, the validity of the model has been tested and interesting conclusions have been developed concerning the relationships between the game-related constructs. It is hoped that this result might provide the useful guidelines for developing the successful on-line game contents. With better understanding of the players' behavioral intentions, Korean on-line game developers should be able to penetrate the China market with sustainable advantage over their competition.

Online game business has emerged as the most lucrative entertainment industry, with over 10 million players in South Korea and over 30million in Japan in 2005. While the interactive entertainment market continues to expand, with many new online game publishers entering the market, relatively little theory has been developed about which factors influence online gamers' behavioral intentions (i.e., loyalty, satisfaction, words of mouth, etc.) in this area. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationships among the gamers' satisfaction, trust toward game publishers, the role of online game community, social reputation, and the managerial support of game publishers. We also examine the differences between Korean and Japanese gamers concerning the relationships of these key success factors. The structural model is tested with the data from entire data samples (i.e., Korean and Japanese gamers pooled together) and each of the sub-samples (i.e., Korean and Japanese gamers taken separately). Properties of the causal paths, including standardized path coefficients, the significance of difference, and variance explained for Trust and Satisfaction in the hypothesized model, are presented. Following the model test, we conduct a test of the differences in path coefficients between Korean and Japanese gamers. Statistical results show that, compared to Japanese gamers, Korean gamers had a greater salient effect on Social Reputation in determining. Trust, in addition to placing a greater emphasis on Support of Game Publishers in determining Social Reputation. Other interesting results concerning game Publishers' strategy are also presented.

본 연구는 2005년 아시아 게임시장에서 가장 큰 3대 시장 중의 하나로 성장 할 것으로 예상되는 일본 온라인게임시장을 대상으로 일본 게이머들을 하드코어게이머(Hardcore Gamer)와 캐주얼게이머(Casual Gamer)로 분류하고 두 게이머 집단간 인구통계학적 차이(성별, 연령대), 게임 이용 장소, 시간, 비용의 차이 그리고 게임관련 요인에 관한 차이(특성요인, 디자인요인, 인식요인)를 통계적 방법을 이용하여 실증적으로 분석한 연구이다. 각 연구 내용별 실증적 분석을 위해 사용된 통계적 기법은 인구통계학적 차이, 게임 이용 장소, 시간, 비용의 차이는 $M{\times}n$ 분할표의 ${\chi}2$ 검정을 이용하였고, 게임관련 요인에 관한 차이는 독립표본 t-검정을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 결과가 일본 온라인게임시장에 진출하려는 국내 게임업체들에게 일본 게이머들의 성향에 부합하는 커스터마이징된 게임을 개발할 수 있도록 많은 시사점을 제공해 줄 수 있을 것이라 본다.

본 연구는 효과적인 게임 현지화 방법에 대한 연구로 게임 텍스트의 번역에 있어 캐릭터성이 미치는 영향력을 증명하고자 한다. 보편적으로 상호작용 스토리텔링의 구조를 가진 게임 속 캐릭터들은 게임 속에서 일어나는 이벤트의 큰 영향력을 가진다. 또한 캐릭터가 특정 문화나 상징에 기반을 둔 경우 필연적으로 스토리와 연계성이 더욱 강해진다. 본 연구는 카발라의 '세피로트의 나무'를 바탕으로 캐릭터성이 구성된 게임 '로보토미 코퍼레이션'에 등장하는 캐릭터들의 캐릭터성을 분석하고 이를 통해 효과적인 현지화를 위해 게임 번역이 나아가야 할 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 기존의 강의식, 종이와 책 기반의, 오프라인 위주의 교육 현장 생태계에서 인터랙티브한 디지털, 온라인 기능성 게임을 활용하는 방법을 알고자 네 개의 학교에 기능성 게임을 주고 교사들이 그들의 학급에서 어떻게 활용하는지 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 숙련된 교사들에게 게임을 자유롭게 기존의 교과와 연계하여 활용하도록 지시를 줌으로써 자연적으로 발생하는 게임 활용 방법을 기초로 모형을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 교과 내에서 사용하는 모형과 교과 외에서 사용하는 모형으로 나누어졌으며, 교과 외에서 사용할 경우 컴퓨터 시간을 활용하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 교과와 컴퓨터 시간 외에도 쉬는 시간과 점심시간, 그리고 학교 밖에서의 시간을 통해 학생들이 자발적으로 게임을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 어떤 방법으로 사용하는지는 교사의 특성, 학생의 특성, 그리고 컴퓨터의 물리적 위치와 접근성에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
