Most of the games in the RTS genre, including games such as Starcraft and LOL, which are considered the most successful works in E-sports, have become increasingly uniform and boring. In order to make more changes in a uniform and boring system, I thought it could be solved through a combination of genres that have been fully developed and verified, so I tried to present a new game paradigm. To this end, let's focus on the genres of RTS andt TCG among the popular game genres and present a new paradigm by combining the dynamic and static features of these two genres. The new Real-Time Trading Card (RTTC) genre of game system proposed in this paper refers to a new type of game system that fuses the dynamic and static elements of the game. This mixed genre can be a new paradigm for games that can satisfy both gamers and viewers by minimizing the uniformity of the game while adding the randomness of cards to the characteristics of RTS called real-time warfare.

By integrating of intrinsic motivation theory and flow theory, this study sought to investigate the causal linkage among optimal balance of video game player's perceived skill and challenge, flow experience, intrinsic motivation and video game genre usage. A path analysis showed that the different types of video game usage were directly influenced by players' intrinsic motivations, which were also reinforced by players' flow experiences of enjoyment. However, the path model with a multiple group approach provided no strong evidence for gender differences in the relationships between the variables of interest.

After the introduction stage, Korean mobile game market is approaching to the growing stage leading mobile contents market. The environment for the mobile contents business is getting better by the expansion of the 3G mobile networks and the enhancement of the mobile devices. In this research, at a content level, not a service level, market success factors of mobile games and the differences by genres and their changes over time were investigated through the analysis of the real market data of mobile games launched by a Korean mobile carrier. The most important factors for market success, especially for the genres of RPG/Tycoon/Simulation and Shooting/Action/Arcade, were found to be the 'design' factor and its effect turned to be getting stronger as time goes by after the launch. Consumers' purchase rate was actually higher for the mobile games of popular genres or in relation with socially popular subject matters. Also 'design' and 'creativity' factors which are related to the quality of contents, have gotten more important over time. One of the most interesting results was that there existed a "blue ocean" genres like Sports/Racing/Leisure which had a steady demand but not many competing games. In the analysis of the 'convenience' factor, one interesting implication for mobile game producers was that there exists a trade off between the ease of initial adoption and the steady sales of a mobile game.

While the period of 40 million smart phone users begins, mobile game has spread and evolved as quick as popularization of smart phone. Therefore, this study is written to help the improvement of a graphic image on a development of a game for a qualitative growth of a game market, and is to suggest a guideline of tone by genres, by measuring image or feeling of game genre targeting game users. As a result of study, more than 50% of adjectives game users wrote by genres corresponded. It means that tone game users prefer is relatively clear. Therefore, the researcher confirmed that it is possible to attempt the standardization of tome about genre, and suggested 3 kinds of tone and brightness of color by genres.

This article attempts to suggest a frame of game genres by appling the concept of narrative. The narrative is traditional and useful concept in game study, though the narrative of computer games is under discussion. In the main discourse, syntagmatic/paradigmatic character of narrative and the rate of importance of narrative in the game are used for two axis to set the location of computer game genres. As a result, I could find the location of computer game genres that reflects the characters of narrative.

2017년, '플레이어언노운스 배틀그라운드' 얼리 액세스 버전의 큰 성공으로 슈팅 게임 장르의 크나큰 변화가 일어났다. 수많은 유저들이 시간이 지날수록 압박해오는 전장과 1등에 근접할수록 높아지는 긴장감, 치열한 접전 끝에 1등을 차지하는 희열에 매료되어 세계적으로 선풍적인 인기를 끌게 되었다. 그러나 시간이 지날수록 유저들의 평균적인 게임 이해도와 실력이 늘어남에 따라 한번 실수에도 치명적인 영향을 받는 장르 특성상 모험보단 안전을 추구하고자 하였고 많은 배틀로얄 게임들이 전략의 고착화, 사용 장비의 고착화가 점점 심화되었다. 본 논문에서는 배틀로얄 장르의 고착화가 어떻게 이루어졌는지 수치와 통계를 통해 설명하고 효율적으로 고착화를 타파하기 위한 새로운 방안을 제시한다.

다른 게임 장르에 비해 RPG란 장르는 상대적으로 유저의 평균체류시간이 길다. 이는 RPG의 특성상 FPS나 RTS장르처럼 단판 위주의 게이미 아니라 광활한맵을 이동하면서 사냥과 퀘스트가 끊임없이 반복되기 때문이다. 그러나 같은 RPG라 할지라도 게임마다 특성이 다르기 때문에 평균체류시간은 다르게 나타나고 있다.현재까지 게임마다 평균체류시간이 다르게 나타난다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 그러나 이에 대한 원인분석이나 체계적인 연구가 부족했던 것 또한 사실. 이는 RPG장르 내 어떤 요인들이 평균체류시간에 영향을 미치는가에 대한 실증분석이 전무한 상태에서 막연한 '감' 에 의한 평가가 대부분이었기 때문이다. 여기서는 지난 5월 30일을 기준으로 게임트릭스에 등록된 86개의 MMORPG중에서 이미 서비스가 종료됐거나 과거 1년 동안 갑작스럼 패치, 업그레이드등으로 데이터 손실이 많았던 게임, 그리고 데이터를 구할 수 없었던 게임들을 제외한 총 51개의 MMORPG를 대상으로 평균체류시간을 분석했다.

TCG는 Trading Card Game의 약자로 수집과 게임을 목적으로 디자인된 카드게임을 일컫는다. TCG는 1993년 미국의 수학자인 리처드 가필드(Richard Garfield)가 만든 '매직: 더 개더링'(Magic: The Gathering)을 시작으로 '스펠파이어'(Spellfire), '일루미나티'(Illuminati)와 같은 다양한 게임으로 이어지며 하나의 독자적인 장르로 자리매김하게 되었다. TCG는 전략적 게임 디자인을 통한 독자적 장르의 재미도 가지고 있지만, 수집 요소가 가진 장점으로 인해 많은 타 장르 게임에서 혼합되어 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최초의 TCG인 '매직: 더 개더링'의 분석을 통해 다양한 덱을 만들어내는 방법에 대해 연구하고 나아가 타 장르 활용 방안에 대하여 제시하고자 한다.
