The research empirically analyzes the impact of technological regime of game engine upon game development performance. The results indicate that, first, technological regime of game engine determines game's genre distribution. Secondly, user friendly game engine regime(modular, generic and integrated API engine) induces higher genre diversity and lower genre concentration ratios. Thirdly, user friendly game engine regime(modular, generic and integrated API engine) is becoming more applied recently. Fourthly, innovation types and price types of game engine do not influence upon game engine trades. Those results point out that game engine's technological regime influences directly game development application and user friendly regime is increasingly more standardized.

This study examined the effects of game genre, news media with differing political ideologies, and game-related information sources on gamer issue participation by performing a hierarchical regression model, using an online survey on Korean gamers (N=1,362). As a result of the study, playing specific genres of games played a positive role in gamer issue participation. The group behavior or collective action for or against game regulation reported in the liberal/moderate media acted as a mobilization cue for readers and potentially encouraged gamers to take social action. But the conservative media, which used governmental organizations and interest groups as sources of information, had a negative impact on real-life participatory behavior. The biased journalism practice of the mass media on game-related social issues influenced gamers' social and political behavior through corrective action. This study is significant in empirically analyzing the relationship between political ideology, game genre, media use, and gamers' social participation. The current research suggests the improvement of game regulation policy and the need for theoretical and conceptual expansion of game research.

Games can be divided into different genres such as action, adventure, role playing, simulation and etc based on the types of the play provided to a player. And each genre has various kinds of balancing system. Fighting games are classified as one of the action genres. They seem to have a simple structure but there is a variety of complex balancing factors. Because there are quite a number of the fighting games that were developed in a relatively short period, it is possible to identify diverse balancing systems in the fighting games from unstable ones in the early stage to the recent ones in a stable condition. The balancing system allows players to use all the contents offered in the game by eliminating the imbalance created among the various components. It helps players maintain their interest during the procedure. Furthermore, it gives the justification, increases the efficiency of controlling, and develops the empathy in the process. Therefore, the balancing system plays a crucial role in the games when it comes to getting an evaluation and building popularity, which can determine its lifespan. In this study, we researched on the possibilities of expanding an application to the other genres by understanding the established balancing model developed from the case study of the fighting games.

Effective and Economic game evaluation before game publishing is very important for game development company. In this paper, we designed and developed an effective web based game evaluation system according to three major game genre including MMORPG, FPS, and web game. The proposed evaluation model consists of five evaluation items such as game interest, competitiveness, technology, earning power, and market value and has common evaluation items and independent ones according to game genre. To reflect characteristics of each game genre, we divided evaluation items into common evaluation elements and individual ones according to game genre. We applied the proposed system to two real games of a game development company and showed the result.

조작해야 할 정보와 사물이 가장 많은 게임 장르인 RPG 장르에서 모바일 환경의 제약은 자연스럽게 사용자 인터페이스 패턴의 제약으로 연결된다. 다만 기기 환경도 스마트폰 디스플레이 화면이 예전보다 커지고 자동 전투 기능의 활용으로 조작의 대상과 적시성을 감소시키면서 최근에는 그 제약이 개선되었다는 평가가 있다. 이 논문에서 우리는 지난 3년간 연도별로 가장 많이 플레이 된 모바일 RPG 게임 5개씩을 골라 주요 구성 요소의 전투 창에서의 배치 패턴을 분석하고 그러한 패턴이 실제로 사용자들에게 어떻게 인식되고 있는지 조작 편의성을 중심으로 만족도 평가를 실시하였다. 4점 척도로 적극적 평가를 요구한 9개의 설문에서 이 장르 사용자들은 대체로 70% 이상의 만족도를 보이고 있었으며 일부 설문에서만 게임 간 차이가 발견되었다.

This study looks into the usage pattern in online games based on genres and socio-demographic characteristics. Compared to the prior studies that adopted survey as their main research method, this study has analyzed the actual data of game login records and adopted parametric modeling and mathematical approach. In terms of the socio-demographic characteristics, the following facts were confirmed: men > women by gender, students > white-collars > housewives > blue-collars > self-employed > jobless(etc.) by occupation, college graduates > K-12 students > high-school graduates > undergrads & grads by academic background, 3∼5 million > 1∼3 million > over 5 million > less than 1 million by income levels, and not married > married by marital status. In terms of genres, the population of the players is in the order of web board games, RPG, action/racing/shooting, and sports. The RPG game is confirmed to have a higher level of MCR (Max Concurrent User Ratio) than any other genres. On the other hand, the hypothesis on the difference in Repeated Use Ratio according to genres is rejected. This study has also confirmed that interactions exist between gender and age; genre and gender; genre and age among online game users, and conducted post-hoc analysis about those interactions.
