However, the design of maps and monsters in them could not be tested for their balances until the games had been developed quite a bit. So they need additional expense of extension period of developments. In this paper, we have designed and developed a map simulator to expect the popularities of the maps in the early stage of the game planning in order to prevent inefficient concentration of users on some maps by expecting the popularities of the maps in the early stage of game planning and by setting the parameters of monster arrangements in the map.

This paper presents an investigation into time in games. Many researchers have studied time in games including Jesper Juul (2004), arranging time in games according to the criterion of the concept of time in reality. Most of this research distinguishes internal time from external time in games. The present study, thus, examined internal time in games from the viewpoint of the observer, believing that the most important element of the game was gameness or play and further experience rather than the relationship between reality and games. Thus, the investigator classified internal time in games into "oriented time" and "non-oriented time" and examined the operations of those time classifications in the gamers' experiences.
