The format of game play varies depending on the priority of game design components by genre. In this study, in order to quantitatively derive the priority of game design components by genre, 6 game design components and 6 genres were extracted through prior research on game design components and genres, and then the research model was designed, and priorities were derived through AHP. Feedback system in action games, story in adventure games, mechanics in role-playing games, mechanics in simulation games, feedback system in table games, and mechanics in puzzle games were highly prioritized.

The interrelation between abusive game designers and players are revealed and considered as one of the game arts by Miguel Sicart. This study is based on the frame analysis of Ervin Goffman. The player centered game design, in the case of a digital game, is penetrated into the frame, and player's experience and game frame at the same level can be assumed as positive down-keying. Conversely, confusion of the game is experienced by the players and perceptions about the games are required. The term of Miguel Sicart, generated the abusive game design in the view of the game art, considers both common game and design of the game, respectively. Nevertheless, the abusive game design refreshes the reflections of players in a game and presents possibilities of bridging the designs of standard games through the techniques and devices.

The computer game industry has managed to become the fastest growing segment of the entertainment industry nowadays. However, only a very low number of computer game products manage to cover the costs of production and generate earnings. According to traditional marketing wisdom, customers' preferences are a core issue in creating successful products, and the design process in game is crucial for guaranteeing garners' satisfaction. This research aimed to explore key design factors for the game design based on the new framework of the usability evaluation. We examined the usability in Massively Multi-player Online Role-playing Games (MMORPGs) and reviewed literatures related to games simultaneously. We identified eighteen usability issues in MMORPG and presented its recommendation relevant to the issues. Moreover, the results of the study showed fifty four key design factors composed of game interface, game play, game narrative, and game mechanics for the game design. The research is concluded with key implications to support the early stage of the design process in game.

게임 이용자가 재미를 느끼고 몰입하며 그 재미가 오래 유지되도록 하는 것은 많은 게임 디자이너의 관심사이다. 본 논문에서는 비교적 적은 개발 비용으로 긴 몰입 기간을 만들어낸 몬스터 헌터: 월드를 통해 이를 가능토록 하는 게임 디자인 기법 "반복 플레이 동기 부여", "숙련도 영역 전환"의 두 가지를 제안한다.

G-러닝 게임은 게임의 집중력과 재미 요소를 기반으로 학습의 목적을 가진 콘텐츠로, 최근 아동 교육용 G-러닝 게임의 시장 규모가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 기존에 연구된 G-러닝 게임은 교육성과 게임성의 디자인 방향이 일치하지 않아 균형 있는 효과를 기대하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 초등학교 4학년을 대상의 분수 학습을 위한 G-러닝 게임의 게임디자인 방법을 논한다. 분수 개념은 4학년 교과 과정 중 학습 난이도가 높고 이해가 어려워 단순 교수법보다 구성주의 학습법이 적합하다. 게임과 교육의 융합을 위한 디자인의 일환으로 G-Math 게임을 개발하였다. G-Math 게임은 구성주의 학습방법을 기초하여 ETC(탐구, 협동, 대화, 이해)이론으로 디자인 하였다. 본 연구는 G러닝 게임의 교육성과 게임성을 융합함과 동시에 효과적인 학습 방법을 디자인함으로서 G-Math에 특화된 콘텐츠를 제공한다.

This paper presents an interactive educational game design procedure using the DGBL (Digital Game-based Learning) methodology that will help developers to design a multipurpose educational game. The DGBL consists of five stages, which are Analysis, Design, Development, Quality Assurance, and Implementation & Evaluation. This paper is focusing only on the specific technologies included in the Analysis and Design stages based on the DGBL. The first Analysis stage consists of gathering requirements, determining game ideation and learning objectives, and the second Design stage consists of defining the game architecture and database scheme. In this paper, we have designed a lecturers introduction game for a new student or freshmen as a case study to apply the Analysis and Design stages based on DGBL, as well as showing the prototype result in the form of a storyboard.

Recently, the games on the market are getting rich and excellent in the category of design and productions. The style and production quality of cut-scenes also have achieved a continuous development, so how to stand out from multiple designs and gain popularity always acts as a challenge to designers. However, such design strategy up to developers will be failed to judge whether or not design achievements are loved by players and thus cannot meet rapidly changing market demands on both in a quantity and quality. Therefore, this study holds that cut-scene design for video games must set out from user-centered design(UCD). According to literatures with respect to product market, we know that Market Pull imposes far more impacts on success in bringing new products to the market than the technology Push, hence players actually determines the success of a game in competitive game market. This study will help to enhance the immersion of playing game, including the interest and standing out the designer's message without distorting the original impression in the game publishing environment.

The goal of this research is contemplation on whether postmodern design concepts such as parody, simulation, appropriation, pastiche apply to the character design in games, within bounds of postmodernism. In this philosophy, designs display a mixture of advanced culture and mass culture, emphasize philosophical contingency, and appear to be a random collage of ideas. it was perceived that the visual art in game character design is also a projection of the postmodernist philosophy. Upon analyzing this perception, character designs categorized based on the applicability of postmodern designs

Game level design is one of the important parts in the commercial game development. Because of its complexity in combining game components, game design work could be classified into a non-linear problem. In this paper, we propose a new automated game level design system by using genetic algorithms. With our system, a game designer easily generates an optimized game level by designating the key parameters m the initial stage of game design. Our system can be useful in reducing the trial-errors in the initial game level design process.
