A total of 413 adults participated and demographic and psychosocial variables were collected using Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and Daily Hassles Scale for Korean Worker. The results are as follows. First, two-third of gamers used the random item games and women are more engaged than men in random item games. Second, there were significant differences of gaming disorder tendency, game use time, and game use money (both for general and random item) depending on the item use type. Third, predictors of gaming disorder tendency were found as game use money (general), game use time, maladaptive emotion regulation, stress, novelty seeking, and stress using multiple regression analysis. Proper intervention for gaming disorder tendency and the need of further research were discussed.

Some games distract the player's immersion on purpose through the progression and direction of the game, thereby giving them an opportunity for rational awareness. In this paper, we tried to analyze the characteristics and types of alienation strategies of digital games. So we investigated the anti-immersive property of the game with the effect of Brecht 's alienation and proposed three strategic types of digital games that cause the anti-immersive effect into 'disturbance of sensory information', 'reversal of narrative and overturning of genre' and 'limitation of experience'.

There are general surveys on factors related to game addiction. However, less is known about the relationships between game addiction, therapeutic catharsis seeking, and game and life self-efficacy in terms of desired needs. This study sought to clarify several of these relationships. Using data from a survey of 489 online game users, we conducted a regression analysis to explore the association between therapeutic aspects (therapeutic catharsis seeking and game and life self-efficacy), psychological problems (loneliness and depression), and demographic variables (age and gender). Results showed that both therapeutic catharsis seeking and game self-efficacy increase game addiction. The implications of these results are discussed.

수많은 사람들이 게임을 플레이할 때 마치 본인이 캐릭터가 된 듯한 이입을 하고 그를 통해 간접적으로 경험을 체험한다. 이때, 시각은 몰입하는데 빠질 수 없는 요소이며 게임에선 그 역할을 카메라가 대신하고 있다. 카메라를 통해 얻은 시각 정보로 현재 무슨 일이 일어나고 있는지, 지금 분위기가 어떤지를 판단하며 점점 게임에 몰입하게 되는 것이다. 캐릭터 간의 대화가 많은 추리 혹은 어드벤처 게임에서는 NPC와 대화하는 경우 실제로 대화하는 느낌이 들도록 카메라를 제어하는 것이 중요하다. 이 논문에서는 사람들이 쉽게 몰입할 수 있도록 카메라를 제어하는 방법을 연구하고, 엔진을 이용하여 추리 어드벤처 게임에 적용하였다.

본 연구에서는 온라인 환경과 모바일 환경이 가지는 각 플랫폼의 약점은 서로 보완하고 각각이 가진 강점을 최대한 활용할 수 있는 방법으로 유무선 연동을 이용한 게임을 제안한다. 이를 위해 유무선 연동방식익 게임 구성방법과 이러한 게임구성에 있어 게임 플레이어가 몰입할 수 있는 요인들에 대해 고찰하였다. 본 연구는 게임의 구성요소를 코어메카닉(Core Mechanic)과 코어 메카닉의 변화(Core Mechanic Variation), 캐릭터(Character)로 구분하고 이러한 구성요소들을 물리적, 사회적 시뮬레이션(Simulation)이라는 방법으로 구성하여 이를 실제 유무선 연동방식 구현 사례 게임 <똘끼>를 통해 설명한다. 또한, 게임을 디자인하는데 있어 게임 플레이어가 몰입할 수 있는 3가지 변인으로서 통제감, 숙련도와 도전감, 사회적 상호작용을 제안하고, 이들 변인들을 게임 플레이어에게 제공하는 방법들을 적용 사례 <똘끼>를 통해 설명한다. 본 연구는 하나의 플랫폼에서만 플레이할 수 있었던 기존의 게임과는 차별화되는 유무선 연동을 이용한 게임을 통해 게임의 구성방법과 게임플레이어에게 게임에 대한 몰입감을 제공하는 방법에 대하여 연구함으로써 게임디자인에 있어서 새로운 구성방향을 제시했다는 점에서 의의를 가진다.
