Abstract

This paper discusses the shaping of game culture and the socio-cultural functions of game-making events based on co-production ideation by meta-analysis. Research has shown that the experience in this event helps to reshape the perception of the game culture, which eventually will lead to the extended meanings of game culture. It can also be seen that the game-making event serves as an educational platform for building the next generation competencies.

게임개발대회는 만들기 과정을 통해 참가자가 축적한 경험과 지식을 나누고 공유하는 사회적이고 교육적인 움직임이다. 참가자는 아이디어를 발굴, 개발, 제작하는 일련의 과정에서 문화교류와 친목을 도모하고, 네트워크를 형성한다. 본고는 국내외 게임개발대회의 사회문화적 속성과 기능을 연구하기 위해 대회 속성을 메타분석하고 게임개발 경험이 있는 학생에게 설문조사하였다. 게임메이커는 개발자인 동시에 이용자의 속성을 지닌다는 점에서 메이킹 과정에서 게임개발 및 이용을 포함한 게임문화에 대한 폭넓은 인식의 변화를 기대할 수 있었다. 또한 게임개발대회는 미래지향적인 역량 함양을 위한 교육 플랫폼의 기능을 수행함을 확인할 수 있었다.
