Since korean mobile communication companies each use different mobile platforms, developers must configure and translate their game contents to run under each of the smart phone platforms so that they can be serviced correctly. Nevertheless, such translation tasks require lengthy times and costs. This is one of the reasons why a variety of contents could not be provided. In order to mitigate such difficulty, this paper implemented the mobile contents converter system that converts mobile game contents of the GNEX platform to smart phone contents of the iPhone platform(iOS). The GNEX-to-iPhone automatic mobile contents translation system helps minimize the amount of time and cost required in servicing contents to different mobile communication companies by promptly translating platform-specific-contents to run under iPhone smart phone platforms. Also, the automatic translation and servicing of existing contents increases the reusability of these contents and also the productivity of new contents thereby offering users with a more variety of games.

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.

This study aims to empirically prove that blockchain games can provide business model innovations through interoperability among NFT based game items. Through our research on 'PlayDapp platform', we figured out that the technological innovation of blockchain games not only has provided a positive influence to the socio-economic and industrial ecosystem perspectives, but also it differentiates companies(game developers and platform providers in this eco-system) and increases customer benefits.

ICT 기술발전에 힘입어 게임은 짧은 시간 동안 기술적으로 큰 발전을 이뤄냈다. 최근에 들어서는 증강현실(AR;Augmented Reality), 가상현실(VR;Virtual Reality) 기술의 연구가 활발한데, 이는 사용자가 직접 게임의 가상공간에서 활동함으로써 독보적인 사용자경험을 제공할 수 있다는 점에서 차세대 게임 기술로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 AR VR 기술은 현재 상용화가 어려우며, 더 다양한 분야의 연구성과가 뒷받침되어야 비로소 구현이 가능하다는 점에서 근미래 게임기술의 목표로 삼기에는 부적합하다. 이에 반해 연관현실(Relative Reality) 플랫폼은 기술적인 요소의 비중이 큰 AR VR과는 다른 방법으로 현실과 가상현실을 엮어낸다. 연관현실은 현실에 가상현실을 더하는 AR과 현실에 기초한 가상현실을 구현하는 VR과 달리, 현실과 가상현실의 상호작용에 주목하고 있다. 이에 따라 연관현실 플랫폼은 기존 게임과는 차별화된 사용자경험을 제공하고, 현재의 기술 수준으로 지속가능한 개발이 가능하며, 향후 AR VR을 통한 대체현실 구현에 기여할 수 있다는 점에서 그 가치가 높다.

Since the birth of the Ethereum in 2015, various decentralized applications (DApp) based on blockchain smart contract technology have appeared. However, CryptoKitty's case showed instability in terms of performance and scalability in real-world service environments. To solve this, a blockchain platform that developed a high transaction per second (TPS) has appeared, but there have been no environments and services to test it. Therefore, this paper intends to design and develop a game that can record the contents of all games on the chain and verify the performance and scalability of the blockchain platform through oversized transactions. The developed game generated a total of 6.3 million blocks and 8.9 million transactions through by 682 and verified the improved performance and scalability of the existing platform. Additionally, the maximum TPS was measured at 1,309 during the test period. In the future, it is expected that performance and scalability can be compared in a realistic environment through the method presented in this paper.

In this paper, we propose a win-win network operating platform for mobile games. The characteristics of the service structure suggested is to form a marketing network that can influence the mobile game market by linking with the mobile game industry, and the excellent game content of the game developer in the industrial complex may not disappear. We also would like to propose a network operating platform that would help it enter the market area steadily. The proposed platform technology is used to distribute rapidly through a win-win network between game companies and publishers. When new games are commercialized, they can support continuous target marketing through various data indicators and analytics by the developed platform. In particular, G-Cross marketing strategy is considered to be a low-cost, high-efficiency marketing method in that it can provide users with information about new games by utilizing the given game infrastructure and utilize the user group possessed by each game company.

To identify characteristics of social network farm game based on smart phone platform, this study analyzed how social network play experience connects with the space of farm game. The play experience of social network farm game based on smart phone platform is mainly composed of three modules for cultivating, placing environment, extending space. This study categorized space for external perspective space, internal perspective space, symbolic design space according to space experience theory and researched play experience in these spaces. In farm game players perceive space by fixed point of view, and make their own space a standard unit for reinterpreting and rearranging modules. In this process the space played subjective role not only background to bring co-work play is essential in social network game.

As hardware performance rises, game users demand higher computer graphic, more convenient UI(User Interface), faster network, and smarter AI(Artificial Intelligence). At this time, however, AI development is accomplished by a co-development team or only one developer. For that reason, it's hard to verify that AI performance and basic game AI technology is lacking for developing high-level AI. Searching the merits and demerits of existing game AI platforms, we investigate main points to consider when designing game AI platforms in this paper. From this we suggest Darwin, a game platform, based on agent that developers embody AI easily and capable of proposing AI test with module that makes them find strategic position. And then evaluate achievement results through making agent used strategic module that Darwin offers.

Some duplicate processes are happen in developing games under the diverse platforms. Implementing functions. like processing and managing data, in every platforms have an influence on game development. In this paper, we propose a multi-platform server framework that can simulate combat games such as one server on any platform. It was designed to be easy to debug using a protocol consisting of attribute-value pairs by the JSON data format. Since it is independent of the programming language, it has the advantage of being able to communicate with various languages. The server proposes a model that can easily upgrade the structure or the specification using the Amazon web server.
