There are elements for the game user get into the emotion of flow (the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity). In game contents, for example, a considerable sophisticated application of 'sound' is one of the important elements must be considered for a qualified game development process. If a proper audio condition is satisfied, a game user is intrinsically solving problems by auditorial sense and the participant get into immersing into the game spontaneously. There are elements in game contents storytelling for the user to be in flow condition, this study will be analyzing a game user's flowing, especially with repetitive usage of sound. To be accurate, 'flow analysis' of Csikszentmihalyi. M, and 'flow factors' of Donna L. Hoffman & Thomas P. Novak, in addition, would be proper references in the research. comparing to a precedent study that analyzed a game and flow focused on visual elements. Ponpoko(Sigma Enterprise Inc., 1981) and Bio Hazard 4(Capcom, 2007) will be given as the main texts. To achieve the desired proposition in the study, user's reaction is monitored by listening repeatable and ordinary sound. Questionnaires are including Frequency Analysis, MANOVA(multivariate analysis of variance).

In the area of mobile game, the job of data analysis is very important. As the mobile game market is being expanded, the characteristics of the market have been so much changed, that the contents updating and marketing strategy should be built on thorough understanding and analysis result of the gamers' needs and their play pattern. Thus the importance of the mobile game management system can not be overemphasized. However, in practice, most of the mobile game companies are small scale, and they have intrinsic problem to provide successful game service to user with a dedicated operating team. To overcome these problems, this paper suggests an efficient mobile game management system based on our already developed mobile game. And the effectiveness of our system is illustrated by our case examples such as prompt response to user question or refund request. Our proposed system also played an important role to plan additional contents update, providing scientific data analysis result on user's play pattern and purchase trend.

Today due to the development of technology, 3D graphics have become an essential element of the game graphic. When game companies create a game using 3D graphics, game users can enjoy a better game graphics like photo-realistic live action than 2D game graphics. And because the game companies have many advantages in creating games which are easy to deal with many basic effects and special effects, in video game business field, 3D game have become the mainstream. This paper will inquire the characteristics of 2D spline which is basic to various kinds of 3D modeling necessary to making 3D game graphics, compare and analyze the merits and demerits of each kind of spline and find out its development history.

In this paper, we developed digital TV interactive game using mobile device. This enables a TV viewer to participate in the game using mobile devices. Recently, advanced interface is adopted in the mobile devices, especially touchpad type interface is favorable. Such type interface has the advantage of more familiar interface for users, and the user can input various type of action. Using a mobile phone enables many users can participate in the TV game, and provides a private screen. In this paper, we describe contributions of the program in detail, and we present the architecture and a demonstration of the proposed program in a similar broadcasting environment.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the factors effecting users' satisfaction on game AI for early AI diffusion. For this purpose, we interviewed 20 users who had experiences playing Blade&Soul, made by NCsoft. Interview data had been analyzed through the Semantic Network Analysis program to identify key subject words and their relations. As a result, the paper has found keywords such as patterns, contents, variety, system, and getting new users as factors effecting users satisfaction on game AI.

현재 가스라이팅이 중요한 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있으며 이에 대한 정확한 개념을 아는 사람이 많지 않다. 가스라이팅은 데이트 폭력 및 다른 심각한 범죄로 번질 가능성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가스라이팅의 위험성을 알리기 위해 몰입할 수 있는 스토리텔링 기능성 게임 콘텐츠로 가스라이팅 간접 체험을 제공하고자 한다. 기능성 게임은 단지 즐기기 위한 게임이 아닌 재미와 그 이상의 정보를 전달하는 게임이다. 유저들에게 끊임없는 동기의 제공과 문제 전체를 파악하는 능력과 실제로 경험하기 힘든 부분을 간접 체험으로 제공하는 기능성 게임의 특성을 통해 주제를 전달하고자 한다.

Computer games should keep user's immersion for fun. Flow can be occured on the balance of user's game skill level and the difficulty level of the challenges by an immersion theory. Computer games can make automatic control of the challenge difficulty level but user's game skill makes difficult to know instantly its level on gameplay because the skill is decided by game goals, user tendency, or user experience. In this paper, we proposed a method of measurement of user's gameplay skill level that we can know the skill level instantly on gameplay. The proposed methods require to be implemented in the stages of the design and implementation of the computer game to be used. Computer games can keep continuously the balance of user's game skill level and the difficulty level of the challenges in order to occur flow immersion by using the proposed measurement method and automatic control methods of the difficulty of game challenges.

The development of technology has enabled users to customize avatars using various combinations and appearances in MMORPG. This study investigated the loyalty and user immersion factors of MMORPG avatar customization, which included personal factors (self-esteem, self-efficacy) and environmental factors (challenging spirit, sense of unity). immersion factors were extracted and a research model was established by observing precedent studies conducted on Flow theory and on the development and transformation of avatars. This study established a theory based on a developed research model and by surveying the users of AION, a MMORPG game, who actively enjoyed avatar customization, after determining measurement items based on precedent studies. The research results showed that self-esteem, a challenging spirit and sense of unity must be enhanced to increase the customization immersion. In addition, research results showed that the degree of loyalty increased with higher customization immersion.

The game & multimedia industry is a high-valued industry comparing to any industry. Also, it has been shown the possibility as considerably bright future industry due to a development of the Internet, an explosive growth of on-line game market, and a union with virtual reality technology Since an on-line game having a clear profit model is expanding to PC and other platform, it brings to us a large change throughout the whole game industry. In order to develop a game, we need a number of elements. A game character among them delivers to a user the overall characteristics of a game as a visual representation and makes us access to a game directly and sensuously. A game character of on-line game is considerable in an operation in the volume of initial sales from a viewpoint of marketing. In addition, it affects to secure users and be immersed in a game. In this paper, we propose a production skill of an efficient 3D game character for 3D on-line game.
