Abstract

Game is an excellent media to easily access and immerse for most people. According to these characteristics, many games which are combined game's fun with original educational purpose have been developing in various fields. In case of developing the game, game designer should balance game's fun and educational purpose in each filed. In this paper, we analyze psychotherapy games to improve accessibility of treatment and continuance of treatment sessions in face-to-face treatment by particularly fun factors in commercial games. And, then we present methods to increase fun of psychotherapy game. This paper can help psychotherapy game developers to increase game experience.

게임은 대부분의 사람들에게 접근과 몰입이 우수한 미디어이다. 이러한 특성을 바탕으로 게임의 재미와 각 분야의 학습 목적이 결합된 게임들이 다양한 분야에서 개발되어지고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 게임을 개발하려고 할 경우에, 기획자들은 게임의 재미와 해당 분야의 학습 목적을 균형있게 기획해야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 면대면 치료에서의 치료의 접근성과 치료 회기의 지속을 개선하기 위하여 개발된 정신치료 게임들을 상업용 게임에서의 재미 요소로 분석한다. 그리고, 정신 치료 게임의 재미를 증가시키기 위한 방법을 기술한다. 이 논문은 보다 높은 몰입성을 갖는 정신 치료 게임을 제작하려는 개발자들에게 도움이 될 수 있다.
