The progress of the game engine make us easier to develop a game product and it is possible for one man to make a game. This means that if you have ideas about game, you can make a game as you thought only if you know how to design a game. Because the game designing is not the field that may not be used like tools and could not buy like graphical data. This study, based on the practice, presented to the understanding and guidance for people who want to know about game designing such as no experienced person and starting new game design. These contributions are supported by a detailed exploration of common understandings of game design methods so that I expect to help designing or managing the project.

본 논문에서는 게임 컨셉 기획을 보다 효율적으로 수행하는 방법론을 제시한다. 게임 기획을 위한 방법론에 대한 연구는 아직 많지 않으며 특히 초기 단계의 게임 컨셉 기획을 위한 방법론은 연구결과를 찾아보기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Focused Group interview를 사용하여 게임 컨셉을 기획하는 방법론을 제시하고 이를 활용하여 게임 기획을 하고자 하는 20대 초반의 인원을 대상으로 적용하여 본다. 대상 인원을 개별 그룹과 팀을 구성한 그룹으로 나누어 적용하여 개인별 게임 컨셉 기획과 팀별 게임 컨셉 기획에 있어서 이 방법론이 효율성에 차이가 있는지에 대하여 알아보며 동시에 이 방법론이 적용 가능한 대상에 대하여 살펴본다.

게임 기획은 1차 기획과 2차 기획으로 나누어진다. 1차 기획은 게임이 제작될 경우 게임의 장르, 스토리, 타겟 게이머, 플랫폼, 인터페이스, 캐릭터 특징, 마켓팅 전략등을 고려해 게임 상품화와 게임 판매 성공 여부, 게임이 미치는 사회적 영향등을 판단하여 게임의 제작 여부를 결정하는 단계이므로 게임의 성공과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 그런데 현재 국내에서 제작되고 있는 게임들은 RPG 게임과 특정한 게임층에 편향된 경향이 있어 장기적으로 게임 시장의 축소를 가져올 수 있다. 그러므로 차별화된 게임을 제작하여 게임 시장의 확대를 이루는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 온라인 보드 게임에 속하고 인터페이스와 기존 게임에 익숙하지 않는 여성층과 초보 게이머들도 쉽게 게임을 즐길 수 있는 도르르 왕국의 1차 기획 사례 연구를 통해 온라인 게임의 1차 기획 과정을 논한다. 본 연구는 기존 게임과 차별화된 게임을 제작하려는 게임 제작업체에게 1차 기획의 좋은 예가 되어 경쟁력 있는 게임을 출하할 수 있도록 도움을 줄 수 있다.

한국 온라인게임은 초기시장 진입으로 유리한 위치를 차지하고 있다 하지만 국내 개발사의 기획력, 디자인, 프로그램 등 게임 순수 개발력은 아직 유명개발사에 많이 뒤처져 있다 특히 기획은 게임의 성공여부를 결정짓는 중요한 단계로써 분석, 평가, 정당화 단계를 수행하여 게임의 특징을 결정하는 초기기획과 게임의 기술적인 것을 다루는 세부 기획으로 나뉘어 진다. 본 논문은 기존 게임 시장과 게이머의 특징을 분석한 후 게임의 장르와 테마, 그리고 타겟 게이머를 설정하여 이에 적합한 게임을 기획하는 초기 기획 단계를 노바 1492의 초기 기획 사례 분석을 통하여 논하였다. 그리고 본 연구는 기존 게임과 차별화되고 게이머들의 요구에 적합한 게임을 개발하려는 게임 개발업체에게 초기 기획의 좋은 예가 될 수 있다.

Game software planning is divided into initial game software planning and detailed game software planning. Technique, design, marketing should be considered in initial game software planning. Especially, technical considerations, platform and game engine and sewer construction and sewer architecture should have effect on development cost and time. So, game software designer should choose technical consideration which is suitable for purpose of game software planning. In this paper, we researched technical considerations in initial game software planning, focusing on platform, game engine, game service, network infrastructure.

This study explains the planning practical training that researches the process of functional game planning approach by developing functional games. The main focus of this study is the practical training process of planning which is an important part of game development jobs by developing games with proper functional materials, 'Framework of Planning Functional Game', and the verification of framework by developing functional games. This paper suggests that the functional game planning approach with the right function requires progressive/quantitative standard, which is different from typical process. Therefore, this paper is useful as reference materials of a functional game education through the cases of games developed by the progressive/quantitative approach standard.

A good game comes from an original and unique scenario. Game development must precede with the game's scenario because this is where the contents of the game are expressed. Scenario planing brings the result of the game scenario. scenario planning is the draft for game development. The circumstances of gaming today, from the company which produce games to the academic world which educate game development, do not have planning for their game scenarios. A habit that many Korean game developers have is to just insert a rough scenario into a game or even worse no proper form for one at all. The Purpose of this book is to simply search for a scenario planning method and suggest the contents for game planning. paper, we researched technical considerations in initial game software planning, focusing on platform, game engine, game service, network infrastructure.

In the domestic game development field, game system planning is the work that game designers design the gameplay mechanics system to satisfy the game concepts in the perspective of creative design by data structural methods. But the programmers work to design the game system based on the results of the game system planning in the perspective of engineering design by object-oriented methods. This work process is a high risky way for high occurring probability of communication errors between the game designers and programmers, and mismatching errors in their work results. In this study, we propose an object-oriented design method of game system for the game designers in order to resolve this problem. The proposed method is a customized one of GRAPPLE object-oriented SW development guidelines to suit the game system planning. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed planning method for the game designers, we carried out a survey targeting 10 game system designers working in the domestic game industry. The survey results show that the necessity and effectiveness of the proposed method is "a little over" for almost the game designers.

The Game development process that the Korea Game Development Infinity researches and publishes has laid important groundwork for the game industry. However, the game design cannot guarantee a software quality because an artifact is made incorrect by a game planner's new idea and modification. In this paper theorized the system to maintain artifacts consistently that is generated in planning phase and make changed contents traceable. First, it defined an ACT graph to represent relation of between artifacts, a ACT table that traces and manages it changes and a table of artifacts change history. Also, it suggested the ACT process applying as we mentioned above. Then we worked a case study to verify the change tracking technique which is presented. In a case study, we find game designer is capable to grip and modify a change of artifacts when it occurs a change of game design artifacts. As a result of that, we can save the time and effort to maintain the consistency among game design artifacts.

It is important matter to develop game that language should consider improving game development environment. It is hardly any language that is designed to develop a game. Most developer used general purpose programming language in these situations, and directly modeling with engine. For this reasons, developers cannot easily develop games and must programming on engine level. It is hard to develop a game in this environment that was not able to understand an engine well. Moreover, developer and planner want to use an abstracted high-level language on planner phase and are going to easily develop a game. It was not have communication tool between developer and planner. Therefore, we defined a script language for modeling based on abstract engine level. In addition, we did build IDE to develop game using abstracted high-level language. It was able to develop a game on high-speed development environment. Therefore, developer does not must develop with engine phase but can develop a game with planners. In addition, game planner and developer can use a communication tool because it is able to develop skeleton game.
