When was launched in 2014, it was immediately ranked 2nd in English gross sales record in the first half of 2014, attracting huge attention from avid game users. Colin Moriarty(2014) states that the worldwide popular game, , lies on the alternative history assumption, 'what if Nazi Germany won the second world war? In regard to this, this research addresses how the characteristics of alternative history was adopted and visually represented in FPS game trailer. In terms of research method, firstly, literatures will be reviewed about definition of alternative history and some of the previous examples where alternative history was applied in novels, films and games. Secondly, narrative composition of alternative history is categorized as three sequential phases, (1) borrowing real history material, (2) connection between real and fictional history and (3) reconstruction of history through reinterpretation. Thirdly, the live-action game trailer will be analysed by three sequential phases of narrative composition, and CG game character and background will be analysed by spatial background, characters and props. The phase of 'borrowing' has used the historic images related to the World War II, and the phase of "connection' has composited by "connection through circumstantial events". The phase of 'reconstruction' has unfolded its fictional narrative in the form of "limited fictional history" In addition to this, has constructed dystopia world through composing of historic images and CG characters by SF design. In the light of this, the narrative composition of alternative history successfully extends to game area.

Today, video games created via 3D softwares become a core part of the essential the video game contents field because their properties that can produce more easier than 2D games and can save budget of contents makings. It is very important that reducing polygon counts of 3D characters and environments for Gaming optimization. We can formulate elaborate 3D game models with low polygon counting in virtue of technological advancements, and these technologies continue to evolve. In 2012, Pixar made public Open subdivision which is the new technology to make high quality 3D models with low polygons and distributed that via Open source verification. This paper will compare and analyze the characteristics, and merits and demerits of these various kinds of these skills(Mesh smooth, Turbo Smooth, Open subdivision) and will inquire which method is the most efficient one to make 3D video games.

영화, 애니메이션, 게임 등 디지털 문화 컨텐츠에서 의상을 입은 캐릭터들의 사실성이 강조되는데, 디지털 의상 제작에 있어서 기존의 패션 CAD나 의상 애니메이션 소프트웨어들은 여러 단계의 작업을 거쳐야 하고 의상 디자인의 전문성을 요구한다. 특히, 최근 우리 문화 원형의 디지털 컨텐츠화로 디지털 한복의 수요가 증가하고 있으며, 한복은 재단이나 착용방식 등에서 양복과는 구성학적 차이점을 지님에도 불구하고 디지털 한복 제작을 위한 전문 시뮬레이션 도구는 전무하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 전통적인 한복의 제작에서 사용하는 신체 치수와 체형특징에 따른 옷본의 크기 조정 방법을 지식베이스로 구축하고, 이를 사용하여 한복에 대한 사전 지식이 없는 사용자들도 가상 캐릭터에 쉽게 한복을 착용시킬 수 있는 지식 기반 한복 드레이핑 시뮬레이션을 제안한다.

The game market has been converted into PC such as Microsoft X-box, SONY Playstation, and Nintendo, which have been called traditional game consoles. Recently, the mobile game market has been growing as the performance of mobile devices has been reduced. The expansion of the game market is a worldwide trend, and the discovery of game contents are causing many concerns for game companies. Known as the birthplace of animation and games, Japan uses traditional cultural contents to create many characters and game stories. China, which is a latecomer, is also working to find materials for making game contents using Chinese traditional culture. is one of the most successful games in China's online marketplace. The game is designed to allow game users to experience traditional culture by reproducing the images of the time period shown in the wall painting into a virtual space. In this study, I would like to analyze the story of the Buddhist scripture in the mural of Donhwang mural, a Chinese cultural heritage.

73 percent of online games in Korea hold perspectives of medieval times in them. So far in history, about a millennium in medieval times is said to be a period of darkness and savagery, but it is newly revived in the digital virtual world. Such phenomenon is paradoxical and meaningful to often bring out 'medieval times' as a theme for online games, which are revealed by up-to-date technologies in present days. This research examines the background of views of medieval times appeared in online games and how they are realized. Medieval fantasy games have appeared because people dream about escaping from pre-modem times and have fantasy about medieval times. Moreover, perspectives of medieval times have enormously influenced background epics, quest stories, creation of characters in a game scenario. The dual structure having coexistence of nature and super naturalness acts an important role to set up the epic for medieval fantasy games. And medieval romance literature, which has a three-step quest narrative of 'targeting - adventure and fight - achievement' is reflected in a quest story of medieval fantasy games. The strict pyramid system represented by feudalism forms a meaningful metaphor for designing characters, and players organize communities for online games through horizontal collective consciousness in such vertical system of history at the same time.

This research aims to analyze gamer's behavior pattern on 'Blade for Kakao' RPG genre based on smart-phone. Three subjects were recruited using the concurrent protocol method to conduct ten episodes in region 1. As a result, it derived four behavior patterns according to the combination of space type affordance and the arrangement affordance of obstacle(monster). The result of this research revealed the forward attack arranged for the fixed obstacles in the wide space, the indirect attack as avoid-type arranged for scattered obstacles in the same space, the hunting up attack once arranged for the crowded obstacles in the same space, and the pulling attack arranged for obstacles in the narrow space. Moreover, it revealed the character growth and the optimization of attack method according to the attribute affordance of the obstacle(monster). This research expect to offer the design guideline for game level design to investigate the relationship between the game play and affordance in RPG genre based on smart-phone.

Communication is an element of the story-telling in processing of the game as well as basic role of information exchange. In case of communication-based adventure games which are processed through communication, the communication is playing the role beyond its basic role up to providing a limited information on quests and solutions in Massively Multiplay Online Role Playing Game(MMORPG). Even though the communication is one of most important element for absorbtion into game, current communications with Non Playable Characters in games are just monotonous event-driven method following pattern based on prepared game scenario. In this research, we have analyzed natural language processing systems which are being used in the area of Artificial Intelligence for the purpose of more realistic communications in games, and have studied methods to apply these communications on games.

본 논문에서는 사용자의 다양한 물리적 속성 중 부드러운 헤비사이드 계단 함수와 다양한 물리적 속성(속도, 시점 등)을 활용하여 가중치 맵을 계산하고 이로부터 논플레이어 캐릭터(Non-player character, NPC)의 경로를 효율적으로 제어할 수 있는 NavMesh 제어 기법을 제시한다. 게임과 같은 가상환경에서 NPC는 일반적으로 네비게이션 메쉬(Navigation mesh, NavMesh)를 이용하여 이동한다. 하지만, NavMesh는 정적인 형태이기 때문에 사용자에 의해 디자인되어야 하고, 이러한 문제를 완화하고자 자동으로 NavMesh를 업데이트하는 기술이 연구되고 있지만, 메쉬 복원을 자동화할 뿐 실제 NPC 행동 제어라고 하기에는 힘든 접근법이다. 본 논문에서는 동적 네비게이션 프레임워크를 유지한 채, 사용자의 시점과 물리적 특성을 통해 NPC를 효율적이고 정확하게 경로 제어할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고, NavMesh의 형태에만 의존하던 NPC의 움직임을 완화하여 좀 더 사실적인 경로 제어를 보여준다.
