This study examined the effects of game genre, news media with differing political ideologies, and game-related information sources on gamer issue participation by performing a hierarchical regression model, using an online survey on Korean gamers (N=1,362). As a result of the study, playing specific genres of games played a positive role in gamer issue participation. The group behavior or collective action for or against game regulation reported in the liberal/moderate media acted as a mobilization cue for readers and potentially encouraged gamers to take social action. But the conservative media, which used governmental organizations and interest groups as sources of information, had a negative impact on real-life participatory behavior. The biased journalism practice of the mass media on game-related social issues influenced gamers' social and political behavior through corrective action. This study is significant in empirically analyzing the relationship between political ideology, game genre, media use, and gamers' social participation. The current research suggests the improvement of game regulation policy and the need for theoretical and conceptual expansion of game research.

최근에 모바일 게임을 즐기는 이용자들이 증가하고 있다. 우리나라 뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 모바일 게임의 인기가 식을 줄 모르고 있는 가운데 블루오션이라 불리는 중국시장을 겨냥해서 게임이 개발되고 있다. 게임의 장르는 서바이벌(생존)게임인데, pc게임시장에서는 서바이벌게임이 상위권에 많은 반면 모바일시장에서는 서바이벌 장르의 게임의 비중이 적다. 뿐만 아니라 모바일시장에는 카피캣 게임이 대다수를 차지하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 틈새시장 공략하기 위해서 서바이벌(생존)게임을 기획하고 새롭고 참신한 독자적인 모바일게임을 개발에 대한 연구를 한다. 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 다양한 접속 채널과 서비스 플랫폼에 대응하는 게임의 개발도 요구 되고 있는 상황에서 본 연구에서 개발된 게임은 좋은 사례가 될 것이다.

국내 문화 예술 산업에서 게임과 관련된 음악 혹은 OST가 드라마, 영화, 애니메이션 등의 타 장르와는 다르게 국내의 미디어 매체에서 언급과 노출이 비교적 적은 편이다. 게임을 소비하는 일부 이용자를 제외한 일반적인 대중은 게임 음악을 접할 기회가 많지 않기 때문에 게임 음악은 여전히 문화 예술이 아닌 게임 음악이라는 틀 안에 갇혀 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 온라인 게임과 관련된 음악의 상업성에 대해 분석하고 게임 음악이 하나의 음악 장르로 자리를 잡기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

A battle royale game is a multiplayer video game genre that blends the survival and exploration with last-man-standing gameplay. The genre has been hot in recent years and the 'Player Unknown's Battleground' produced by Korean enterprise PUBG had been the hottest during 2017 and the first half of 2018. However, a similar battle royale game 'Fortnite' became the game of the year in 2018 and the Player Unknown's Battleground sustains the predominance only in Korea and China. In this paper, we investigate the game structure of those two games on combat, survival, farming and charging elements, We also conduct a user survey on what might be the weak point of the Player Unknown's Battleground and why they choose Fornite among users played both but currently play Fortnite. The result shows that the Player Unknown's Battleground sustains the advantage on battle elements but creative charging policy and the efficient survival elements are the reasons of choosing Fortnite between the two.

This study looks into the usage pattern in online games based on genres and socio-demographic characteristics. Compared to the prior studies that adopted survey as their main research method, this study has analyzed the actual data of game login records and adopted parametric modeling and mathematical approach. In terms of the socio-demographic characteristics, the following facts were confirmed: men > women by gender, students > white-collars > housewives > blue-collars > self-employed > jobless(etc.) by occupation, college graduates > K-12 students > high-school graduates > undergrads & grads by academic background, 3∼5 million > 1∼3 million > over 5 million > less than 1 million by income levels, and not married > married by marital status. In terms of genres, the population of the players is in the order of web board games, RPG, action/racing/shooting, and sports. The RPG game is confirmed to have a higher level of MCR (Max Concurrent User Ratio) than any other genres. On the other hand, the hypothesis on the difference in Repeated Use Ratio according to genres is rejected. This study has also confirmed that interactions exist between gender and age; genre and gender; genre and age among online game users, and conducted post-hoc analysis about those interactions.

On this paper, suggests a communication structure making possible to fast data send-receive for the gaming process synchronization. For these things, first of all, analyze the data send-receive speed effecting on the online game by the game genre. Moreover, we suggested a proper data communication structure like real-time online action game genre which gaming synchronization effects on the gaming process. Communication structure suggested on this paper is being used with TCP/UDP protocol, and it is applied to the network system and verify improved data send-receive speed. These data send-receive structure can be applied to the various online games.
