Games can be divided into different genres such as action, adventure, role playing, simulation and etc based on the types of the play provided to a player. And each genre has various kinds of balancing system. Fighting games are classified as one of the action genres. They seem to have a simple structure but there is a variety of complex balancing factors. Because there are quite a number of the fighting games that were developed in a relatively short period, it is possible to identify diverse balancing systems in the fighting games from unstable ones in the early stage to the recent ones in a stable condition. The balancing system allows players to use all the contents offered in the game by eliminating the imbalance created among the various components. It helps players maintain their interest during the procedure. Furthermore, it gives the justification, increases the efficiency of controlling, and develops the empathy in the process. Therefore, the balancing system plays a crucial role in the games when it comes to getting an evaluation and building popularity, which can determine its lifespan. In this study, we researched on the possibilities of expanding an application to the other genres by understanding the established balancing model developed from the case study of the fighting games.

As the advances of Internet infra structure and the support of console and mobile for network games, the industry of online game has been growing rapidly, and the online game traffic in the Internet has been increasing steadily. For design and simulation of game network, the analysis of online game traffic have to be preceded. Therefore a number of papers have been proposed for the purpose of analyzing the traffic data of network games and providing the models. We make and use GameNet Analyzer as a dedicated tool for game traffic measurement and analysis in this paper. We measure the traffic of FPS Quake 3, RTS Starcraft and MMORPG World of Warcraft (WoW), and analyze the packet size, packet IAT(inter-arrival time), data rate and packet rate according to the number of players and in-game behaviors. We also present the traffic models using measured traffic data. These analysis and models of game traffic can be used for effective network simulation, performance evaluation of game network and the design of online games.

In this paper, we developed a board game prototype, which is a trading card game (TCG) based on near field communication (NFC), in order to compare the convenience between an analog style board game and its corresponding digitalized board game based on NFC. Especially we try to maintain the advantages of an analog style board game such as social fellowship and communication skill in developing its corresponding digitalized TCG game. 20 players participated in our experiments, and each team consists of 2 payers. After they play an analog card game and its corresponding digitalized card game, they answer our survey questionnaires. We can confirm that the NFC TCG offers more convenience to players than its corresponding analog card game according to survey results.

This paper analyzed the user's presence experience and player experience in FPS according to game usage time using Steam's review data. Data was obtained through crawling using Python. In analysis result, it was confirmed that issues related to controllable physical presence and uncontrollable social presence emerged in the group with less game use time, and controllable physical presence was changed to controllable social presence in the group with more play timeFurthermore, through player experience analysis, it was found that the keyword "recoil," a factor in game play, was important.

Currently the gamification as marketing technique has appeared in the field non-related with game, applied to game elements. The alternate reality game pulled down the boundary between the real and the virtual has come out. New trend game has shown beyond the range of the existing game. The possibility has import into online baseball simulation game. The objective of this research is the exploratory approach to build GOMS model through three subjects to the famous pro-baseball manager game. After game playing session, three subjects' utterance with game experience was recorded. We built the goal hierarchy of goal in GOMS to pro-baseball manager game to analyze the vocabulary in three subjects' utterance. We try to find the possibility of gamification in alternate reality game interacting between the real and the virtual, and demolishing them.

This study examined the role of enjoyment in the relationship between perceived auditory feedback (PAF), which provides information about the situation during game play, and user experience factors. 100 undergraduates played a mobile game, 'Classy Royale' and took a survey about their user experience. As a result of analyzing the available data from 98 participants, PROCESS MACRO showed that PAF was positively associated with enjoyment, immersion, and intention to use; enjoyment mediated the effects of PAF on immersion and intention. These results can help game research and development regarding the functional value of audio factors.

2017년 상반기 우리 게임 시장의 특징 중 하나가 중국산 모바일 게임의 국내 흥행이라 할 만 하다. 3월 경만 해도 중국 게임사들이 카카오 등 국내 유통 업체 등을 통해 시장에 들어왔다면 7월 이후 우리 시장을 포함한 구글 플레이 마켓에서 초강세를 보이는 소녀전선 등은 국내 시장을 노린 한글화 작업 이외에는 중국, 대만, 홍콩 등의 업계가 제작과 배급을 다 담당하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문은 이러한 국내 모바일 게임 시장에서 강세를 보이는 중국 게임을 플레이하는 국내 사용자들이 중국 게임임을 인지하고 있었는지, 또 어떤 면에서 국내 게임보다 더 선호되었는지를 여러 모바일 게임 사이트를 통한 201명의 설문 조사를 통해 밝히고자 하였다. 중국산 게임의 한국 사용자들은 79%가 남성이고 대부분이 20대 이하였으며 미소녀 함선 게임을 주로 하지만 그런 장르적 특성 이외에 소녀성, 판타지성, 선정성이 강화된 일러스트와 한국 게임과는 다른 과금정책 및 운영정책에 높은 점수를 주었음이 드러났다. 더 이상 한국 모바일 게임이 중국 수출품용이 아니라 오히려 우리가 시장을 방어해야 할 단계가 아닌지 심히 우려되는 상황이라 하겠다.
