This study aims at empiricallly designing method to increase player's play capability through determining of the relations of player's behavior pattern and emotion factors when having gameplay experiences in MMORPG. For modeling emotion factors on gameplay, Our preliminary studies are considered in the process of rule-based systems on cognitive science approach. These study estabilished game architecture process applied of player's cognitieve emotion reactions in specific situation of role playing games that have most noticeable interaction with players based on quest system. This approach is expected to extend instant responses, which can be controlled behind all of anti-main behavior pattern and main behavior pattern in game playing. Therefore, such study is meaningful that is proposed the analysis framework of player's emotion factors to design game playing capability in game interactions.

Computer games must keep the user immersed for fun. According to the immersion theory, maintaining the user's immersive state requires a continuous balance of game skill level and game difficulty level This study proposes a game skill estimation method of 9th grade that can be applied to a casual action game that can assume a zero-sum game, and additionally proposed a difficulty guessing method. The proposed methods can be implemented quickly and easily because it is a method determining by conditional mathematical expressions. Experiments on the accuracy of the proposed methods for the customized Pac-Man game show that the accuracy of the skill level was 1.2 grade as the difference on the average and the accuracy of the game difficulty level was 1.81 grade the difference on the average. The results show that the proposed methods are accurate enough to be applied to casual action games satisfying the zero-sum condition.

This paper aims to study on attribute of interaction between user from cultural capital perspective of Bourdieu who expanded the concept of capital and presented class production and reproduction through 'World of Warcraft' play and analysis. The results of this study is that First, game ability showed properties of cultural capital that embodied, objectified, institutionalized. Second, the types of interaction by difference of cultural capital appeared that lurking, reciprocity, exclusion. This study identified game ability have attributes of cultural capital and that Due to the nature of the interaction for 'Disticion', individual actions are related to the process of accumulating power and contribute to class reproduction.

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.

게임의 재미요소는 사용자에게 굉장히 큰 영향을 끼친다. 멀티플레이 게임이 대중화 되어 가고 있는 현재, 그 중에서도 대부분의 유저, 국내는 물론 해외까지 MOBA게임의 매력에 빠져있는 상태이다. MOBA게임은 성공 사례와 실패 사례가 명확히 존재한다. 왜 이런 결과가 나왔는지, 성공과 실패요인에는 어떤 것들이 있는지, 성공한 사례에는 어떤 재미요소가 사용자의 만족을 채워주는지 연구한다.

A great many researches on affordance in HCI(Human Computer Interaction), product design, and cognitive science has been done investigated currently. In addition, the concept of affordances has been applied to games in the incremental trying to understand the relationship between gamers and systems. However, there are some problems to apply them to games because many researchers take ease to use, consistency, and usefulness to handle mainly in HCI rather than the property of the game into account. Consequently, the objective of the study is to investigate affordances in consideration of the features of the game, such as fantasy, variety, and fun based on the concept of them suggested in ecological psychology. A protocol analysis was conducted through the think-aloud method on the full gameplay session to platform action game as the basic genre of many game. The result of this research reveals that a static and movable affordances as a fixed state are discovered and transforming continously, appearing, and disappearing affordances as variable states are uncovered, and physical and cognitive affordances are observed. The result of this research is expected to propose the essential design guideline on the methodology of game design.

OlineGame Player suffers very big impact in environment of game World. Therefore, physical environment that is embodied to Gameworld is truth and immersion important element that experience to Player. Also, Game-System that embodied physical environment influences in Game Play can give more game player truth and immersion. I mainly MMORPG that is serviced present in this study investigated. 'What earth habitat factor was embodied and What influence does embodied earth habit at factor exert on game play'. I searched what problem is to design game system that do earth environment simulation. And I asserted development of environment information system to approach game system that do earth environment simulation by easier method. Environment information system is system that process status information of stand-by status, wind, wind speed, topography etc.. of game World.

Fast games such as first person shooting games and action games gives notiming surplus to analyze both states of enemys and my status normally. Behavioral of enemy characters in these games are generally produced by patterns. However It was weekpoints of exposure of patterns when gamers try many times. In this paper, we study the new patterns of enemy characters after analysing patterns of gamers

NPC in game is an important factor to increase the fun of the game by cooperating with player or confrontation with player. NPC's behavior patterns in the previous games are limited. Also, there is not much difference in NPC's ability among the existing games because it's designed to FSM. Therefore, players who have matched with NPCs which have the characteristics may have difficulty to play. This paper is for improving the problem and production and evaluation of the game NPC behavior model based on wolves hunting model in real life. To achieve it, first, the research surveys and studies behavior states for wolves to capture prey in the real world. Secondly, it is implemented using the Unity3D engine. Third, this paper compares the implemented state transition probability to state transition probability in real world, state transition probability in general game. The comparison shows that the number of state transitions of NPCs increases, proportions of implemented NPC behavior patterns converges to probabilities of state transition in real-world. This means that the aggressive behavior pattern of NPC implemented is similar to the wolf hunting behavior pattern of the real world, and it can thereby provide more player experience.
