The game industry has grown to represent the domestic cultural industry, but the socio-cultural status of the game is not as high as industrial growth. In the early 2000s, the problem of dysfunctional use of youth games became a social issue and the game culture policy was established for 15 years. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of policy on the prevention of dysfunction, The prevention of dysfunction of the game is somewhat effective, but the diffusion of positive function is insufficient and the improvement of recognition becomes more negative tendency. The effect is insufficient compared to the policy results. It is necessary to adjust the direction of game culture policy through consideration of securing basic data, post-management of policy, enhancement of cultural meaning, and universality of game culture.

Current perception of games is divided. On the one hand, they are criticized as harmful entertainment due to their violent content and addictive nature, and on the other hand, they are evaluated positively as products of a creative industry that offers alternative, interactive entertainment. Based on the latter, this paper will reevaluate the positive element of such games in relation to the museum, the canon of historical and cultural evaluation. The analysis on game culture introduction to the museums consists of three categories: the practical application that includes educational, communicational, and promotional purposes; the approval of games as industrial assets and their extensive cultural influence; and the indirect acceptance of art works using games. A panoramic view of game culture development would promote research on the link between game culture and museums; furthermore, it would establish a basis for an introduction of game culture in academia and predict the future of the industry.

장르소설 중 게임소설은 한국 내에서만 하나의 장르로 구분되는 독특한 분야이다. 게임소설의 발전에 앞서서 MMORPG 내의 게임플레이를 소설 형식으로 구현하는 '온라인게임 여행기'라는 것이 존재했었다. 온라인게임 여행기는 컴퓨터 게임 잡지를 발표 지면으로 삼고 있었고, 컴퓨터 게임 잡지의 폐간과 더불어 사라진 장르가 되었다. 본 논문에서는 1999년부터 2003년간에 걸쳐서 발전했던 온라인게임 여행기의 시말에 대해 검토해본다.

게임제작과 관련된 교육은 이론 강의로 끝나는 것이 아니라 직접 게임을 만들어 보는 프로젝트가 중요하다. 청강문화산업대학교 게임콘텐츠스쿨의 3학년 교육과정에는 졸업작품 프로젝트가 있다. 이 졸업작품 프로젝트에서는 게임기획, 그래픽, 프로그래밍, QA가 함께 협업을 통해 게임을 제작한다. 이중 QA파트는 게임이 개발되는 과정에서 테스트를 진행하며 게임의 품질을 높이는 역할을 담당한다. 본 논문에서는 2018학년도 졸업작품의 QA파트 학생들의 회고를 조사하고 이를 바탕으로 프로젝트의 진행에 대한 개선의견을 제안한다.

Digital games have become a major part of the modern popular culture, but little attention has been paid to understanding the textuality of games and what the game texts have the cultural meanings. As the games develop, however, the academic and journalistic game critiques and reviews that try to understand and to deconstruct the game texts are on the rise. This study explores how the game criticism characterizes the game texts, creates and shapes the understanding of games. The finding shows that game criticism is rich and varied in terms of themes and approaches covered, more generally, games criticism can also help preserve game history by focusing on the distinctive game textuality, forms and meanings, and by contextualizing the links and cultural meanings that exist between games and between games and the cultural context.
