The interaction between users and games is an important factor in game development. In this paper, we consider Leaderboard UI in shooting game and study user's performance level according to presence or frequency of providing Leaderboard UI. For this research, we developed a third person shooting game and conducted experiments for 80 college students. The results of the experiments were analyzed using statistical significance using the T-test method. Finally, in order to improve user's performance level, we conclude that the user's gaming experience is a bigger factor than the presence or frequency of providing Leaderboard, causing a significant difference.

Nowadays, UI(User Interface)'s main target area is getting larger from user's convenience oriented interface, to user's satisfaction oriented interface. In this study, we attempted 'Storytelling User Interface' for fulfillment of user's satisfaction. We analyzed UI in games, distinguished and clarified its effectiveness that conveys main contents and special features to its audience. The most important element in storytelling UI is 'Inherent Drama'. This was proved through the game analysis with Blizzard's 'Diablo', Sierra's 'Home world', Eden Games' 'Test Drive Unlimited', EA's 'Black And White', and Sony Entertainment's 'Eye Of Judgment'. And we divided storytelling elements into 3 pieces, Mood Design - that shows story's background, or traits, Natural Control - for user's feeling as a hero in the content, and Flow Directing - using animation, visual design and sound, etc. Via these elements, we can make the best use of background, icon, animation, every structures and flow in games. Finally, we embodied three pieces for putting in practice for effective improving interface.

UI design is growing in meaning and form itself through the development of hardware and contents. And it makes users accept its interface as a extension of the body and mind because of the substantial rapport of the user and contents with developing of device and graphic. In this study, we analyzed user interface in a view of digital storytelling by observing of its role within user and contents. Not only this, classifying and investigating story elements in the games for forming the theoretical basis of storytelling UI are enforced. For the case study of UI, we choose the game, Diablo, Half-Life, and Homeworld because the game is suitable for the application of node-type storytelling and effectively uses graphic and input unit. This analysis explains the interface has the contents data that divided or shared and it means the interface performs its part of story nodes, which are extracted from the story, and choice. And we analogized that the story elemental can be substituted and used practically for interface because the stories made through the thing that users and developers are in the space of coexistence by the interface. Storytelling UI will be a good way to make a most intriguing piece as a joyful spontaneous complex that use story node. It is worth by reason of making by user and discovering live inner story so that it can approach to the substance of the story.

Growing smartphone usage in South Korea has also accelerated the pace of development of mobile games, but competition is intensifying as the market grows. As one of the factors for the success of the game in this mobile game market, UI has been presented, suggesting that the design of such mobile game UI should be approached in terms of designing the user's experience, along with its function, aesthetic expression, function-oriented design and information delivery before. In this paper, we propose an effective lobby layout of mobile RPG using experience among UX factors. Through the layout classification of Ernest Adams and Andrew Rollings, we selected 9 mobile RPGs in the 20th place of google play cumulative sales rankings and analyzed the layout of the lobby. As a result, the lobby layout of the game, which led the first market success of the mobile RPG genre, The result was that it became the standard of the boxed game. It can be interpreted that the lobby layout, which is similar to the game used previously by the user, is effective because low entry barriers and learning are unnecessary due to the experience of using the existing RPG. Future studies may produce a common layout of a broad genre if studies are conducted to measure the optimum UX for other genres than RPG.

인터넷이 널리 보급됨에 따라 온라인 상에서의 활동은 보편화 되었고 사용자들은 자아를 표현하고 성장시키는 것에 대하여 더욱 다양하고 확장된 환경을 요구하게 되었다. 사용자 간의 상호작용, 자신을 대표하는 상징물과 현실세계의 자아와의 상호작용은 매체의 몰입의 한 요소로서 중요하다. 이는 게임에서도 마찬가지이며, 플레이어의 게임 속 상황이나 역할에서의 행동은 자신만이 아닌 다른 사용자에게도 직간접적인 영향을 미치게 된다. 플레이어의 모든 행동은 인터페이스를 통하여 이루어지게 되는데, 다변화적인 상황에서 역할을 수행하면서 사용자는 자신의 성향과 편의에 부합하는 인터페이스를 원하게 된다. 본 연구는 사용자 맞춤형 인터페이스(Customized UI)를 연구하는 한 과정으로, 게임 인터페이스를 하나의 매체로 선택하여 사용자 맞춤형 인터페이스를 제공하는 것이 매체 몰입을 향상 시킬 것이라는 가설을 바탕으로 진행되었다. 게임 인터페이스에서 개인의 취향에 따라 인터페이스를 차별화 시킬 수 있는 Add-ons 기능이 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 MMORPG 'WOW'의 플레이어들을 대상으로 설문과 분석을 한 결과 게임상의 다양한 상황과 역할에 따라 요구되는 인터페이스의 복잡수준은 차이가 있을 뿐만 아니라, 사용자의 개개인의 요구를 충족시키는 맞춤형 인터페이스를 제공하는 것은 게임의 지속적인 흥미를 유발하고 몰입을 강화시킨다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.
