Abstract

The game market has not only grown in size of the 10 trillion won but also the form and function of game use. Serious game combines the educational purpose and the fun of the game and develops it so that contents such as national defense. In this study, we analyze the cases of five application areas for the activation of serious games, and develop factors that the serious game should have, we want to see what the characteristics are and how important it is. The results of analysis show that it was analyzed that most serious games of application field were developed as 'experiential games' such as education, learning, experience, and simulation. This means that it is very effective to develop a serious game in consideration of the characteristics that a potential user should prefer a sensible game as well as a clear goal of a serious game in game development.

국내 게임 시장은 10조 원대 규모에 이를 뿐 아니라 게임의 사용 형태 및 기능도 변하고 있다. 기능성 게임은 기존의 게임이 가지고 있는 단순한 재미요소 이외에 게임의 순기능에 초점을 두어 교육과 재미를 결합한 게임이다. 최근 교육, 스포츠, 의료, 군사, 공공 등의 분야에서 게임의 긍정적인 측면을 강조하여 관련 콘텐츠를 쉽게 배울 수 있도록 개발되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기능성 게임의 활성화를 위해 플랫폼, 주제, 정부지원, 컨소시엄 등 4개 요인들을 활용하여 대표적인 5개 응용분야의 개발 사례 분석을 통해, 기능성 게임 개발에 있어 우선적으로 고려할 특성요인들이 무엇이며, 그 중요도를 전망하고자 한다. 분석 결과, 기능성 게임에서 우선 고려되어야 할 요인으로 유용성과 재미가 도출되었으며, 응용분야 기능성 게임은 교육, 학습, 체험, 시뮬레이션 등 '체험형 게임'으로 개발되었다. 게임 개발에 있어서 기능성 게임이 갖추어야 할 목표를 분명히 제시하는 것과 아울러 잠재적 이용자들이 체감형 게임을 선호한다는 특성을 고려하여 기능성 게임을 개발하는 것이 매우 효과적이라는 것을 의미한다.
