Abstract

In order for the game industry to grasp the initiative of the global industry, it is time to positively need storytelling that can move the emotions of gamers over graphical appearance. Also, in the era of the 4th industrial revolution where the point of contact between virtual and reality spreads widely, it seems that the game character industry will rapidly emerge. Therefore, the author recognizes the importance of the character industry in the future, and based on the accumulated game research, he has identified 10 elements necessary for character storytelling. The ten elements are as follows. Design of life, design of race, design of occupation, design of PC and NPC, design of monster, design of personality, design of conflict, design of protagonist, design of external image, design of birth and death.

게임산업이 글로벌 산업의 주도권을 장악하기 위해서는 그래픽적인 외형보다 게이머의 정서를 움직일 수 있는 스토리텔링이 적극 필요한 시점이다. 또한 가상과 현실의 접점이 크게 확산되는 4차 산업혁명시대에는 게임캐릭터산업이 급부상하게 될 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 논자는 향후의 캐릭터산업의 중요성을 인식하며, 그동안 쌓아 온 게임연구를 기반으로 캐릭터스토리텔링에 필요한 10가지 요소를 구체화시켜 보았다. 그 열가지 요소는 다음과 같다. 세계관의 생명체 설계, 종족 설계, 직업군 설계, PC와 NPC 설계, 몬스터 설계, 성격설계, 갈등설계, 주인공의 목표설계, 외형 이미지 설계, 탄생과 죽음 설계.
