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.

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 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.

최근, 에디터 형태의 게임엔진들이 제공되어 게임 제작의 높은 진입장벽이 낮아지고 있다. 본 논문은 에디터 형태의 게임엔진 중 하나인 Unity 3D를 활용하여 일반 사용자의 관점에서 혼자 게임을 제작하기 위한 방법으로 이벤트기반 모듈 기획 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이는 1인 게임 제작의 관점을 기획에 맞추어 게임의 전체적인 진행과정에서 동작하는 행동과 역할들을 모듈 단위로 기획하는 방법이다. 그리고 각 모듈은 게임성을 표현하는 다양한 이벤트들을 포함한다. 또한 Unity 3D에서 제공하는 스크립트 기능은 제안하는 모듈 구조를 구현하기에 적합하여 Unity 3D를 활용한다. 마지막으로 제안하는 방법을 통해 기획에서 개발까지 효과적인 게임 제작이 가능한지 여부를 확인하기 위해 간단한 모바일 캐주얼 게임을 제작하였다.

Due to smart phones introduced since 2007, mobile contents production become activated and with this trend, attention among different age groups to production of mobile games has been growing. Whereas in the past, development of games was the domain of developers equipped with technical knowledge, provision of editor-type engines in recent times is lowering the high barrier of entry to game production. This paper proposes an event-based module design method from the perspective of general users, aimed at producing games by oneself with a Unity 3D, one of editor-type game engines. This is to plan behaviors and roles in the unit of modules in the whole process of a game to be in line with the perspective of game production by one person. Each module includes diverse events that express game characteristics. In addition, the script function provided by the Unity 3D is appropriate to embody the proposed module structure and utilizes the Unity 3D. Lastly, this study produce a simple 3D mobile casual game in order to verify whether effective game production from the planning to the development is possible through the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose an analysis method that categorizes the Core that essential behaviors in game, the Primary that solves the game problem, and the Secondary that helps the Core and the Primary. The proposed method can analyze the genre similarity and characteristics of the game, the richness of the content, and the proficiency level of the game. case study were conducted to confirm whether the analysis items were consistent with the objective game experience. The results of this study are expected to be helpful in improving game design ability.

This study is to verify the effectiveness of initial planning verification using paper prototyping while methodologies are being developed to verify the direction of game planning in a short time at low cost since it is having a hard time to verify the direction and fun of the game by taking a lot of capital and time in the initial planning process as the game development becomes larger. It conducted paper prototyping production for about 40 students who are learning game planning for a semester, and trained them on how to motivate using core mechanical diagrams, scrums, and basic psychological needs that can effectively materialize the ideas of their early game planning. Through this curriculum, board games were completed with eleven paper prototyping, and it was confirmed that students who participated in the class were meaningful in verifying fun and securing gameability through cross-play.

The game industry has been seeing rapid change brought on by the competitive environment globally. As a result, game design skill is being magnified as a key to success. Because of lack of game design skills, Korean game market is in crisis recently. The game analysis is necessary to enhance game design skills. However, criteria and definition of game analysis is not clear and it is difficult to use for game development. This paper will suggest H-G model which has two factors that are 'human role' and 'the scope of game analysis'. This model segments 9 types of game analysis method. This study finds the limitation of leading researches and tries to improve it mapping the major leading researches to H-G model. This paper would help to make the game analysis be integrated and systemic research as regards 9 types of H-G model.

게임을 개발하는데 있어 게임 컨셉을 설정하는 것은 게임 개발에 참여한 개발자들이 하나의 목표점을 정하고 게임을 개발하게 하는 장점이 있으며 참여한 모든 개발자들이 자신들의 역할을 수해함에 있어서도 함께 가고자하는 방향성 및 개발하고자 하는 게임의 방향성을 설정하여 단계별로 개발하는데 중요한 시작점을 시사한다. 기존에 제안된 FGI를 활용한 게임 컨셉 디자인 방법론에 의하여 도출된 핵심 단어들을 분석하여 현재 젊은 개발자들이 어떠한 영역에 관심을 가지고 있는지에 대한 분석은 보다 성공적인 게임 개발 목표를 명확히 할 수 있다.

Online game market accounts for 56.4% of entire game industry in Korea. MMORPG games account for a great part of online game market which have 45.27%. However, most of them are wholly reliant on their subjective criteria - not general rule or standard in the planning and developing process. For this reason, they can be easily misunderstood imitation game which has no difference or creativeness from masterpiece. In this paper to solve this problem especially deals with the quantification of flow through analysis of MMORPG to propose common information or method of quantitative analysis. The method of quantitative analysis which deals with the quantification of flow through analysis of successful MMORPG verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.
