Especially, digital images that make a great impact on game play such as characters or items form their own value beyond the establishment scope of their designer even outside of the game world. The users who pay fees for using them establish the concept of possession for the images and information designed in the games. Then, business transactions are formed among them who are in agreement with their values and their possession rights can be changed. In this way, digital images in the online games form new values by the interaction among other users or game systems. Meanwhile, the more the interaction and a sense of solidarity in the community increase, the higher their value becomes.

Recently, as one method of the game manipulation, physical interactive game is increasing, which controls the program by direct human movement. Tangible interface for physical interactive game implementation can control virtual model directly through real world object. A digital desk, one of the tangible interface, offers the interface that human can manipulate virtual object directly, by making projection screen on real world desk as computer display device. In this paper, we implement "Battle Region" game in the form of tangible interface, which can offer game users an efficient and amusing experiences by the use of physical interactive game. Traditional game cannot pursuit the diversity of game background contents but our game can do it through Map image projection. From this, game provider can supply the diversity of choice and users ran set up the difficulty of game. Therefore, our implemented game can offer users an efficient and amusing experiences by making game user's challenge and satisfaction maximum.

Grouping of characters in a 3D game can be very effective to play. An 3D game characters grouping method is proposed using Object Feature vector depending on their characteristics. In the case of NMT, the constitution of pattern is regular and directive. But MT is not. Such characteristic is extracted using Gabor Filter, then character is grouped. Through experiment, we obtain accuracy of more than 80% for grouping method using each feature. Thus, using this property, characters could be grouped effectively and it draws the game more speed and strategic actions as a result.

If game images use colors improper for certain ages, the characteristics of games disappear, and the efficiency of image expression drops. thus a study in color is very important. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research on this subject. In this study, we investigated the difference of color of game images according to users. User group is divided into all users and users over 18 years old. Among the rank of games,10 each from games for all ages and games for non-teen-rated are selected, and the game-playing images are taken as snapshots to have 100 each images each, A total of 2000 images were extracted and the mean values of RGB and HSB of each game were obtained and independent sample t test was performed. The results showed that the RGB color values between the two users were significantly significant. In the future, it is expected that it will be helpful in color selection when developing psychotherapy games and emotional games using color psychology. Furthermore, we will use color image scales to express colors as adjectives, analyze colors in a variety of ways, and investigate the difference in color of game images in each country.

Based on the research of the Public Welfare Games 'Mountaineering LightsUp', which is the main theme of helping the disadvantaged in society, this study uses the questionnaire method to obtain user data, and collects the data by using AMOS analysis for the effect of game interest elements on the experience of players. The results showed that the interesting elements (goal, obstacles, sense of belonging, atmosphere, story, information, and player to player communication) of the game were positively influenced by the experience of the game. And the questionnaire showed that the game still had problems such as playing simple, difficulty, lack of popularity, lack of feedback, and lack of storytelling. This paper also puts forward some proposals for these deficiencies. In future research, the research sample will be expanded, the research content will be improved, and the future Public Welfare Games will be designed and developed.
