And some game spaces have gradually gotten factors of placeness and become a place. The main purpose of this research is to identify the characteristics of game space from a place-based perspective. For this, the generations are divided into four sections based upon the factors of placeness. At the first generation, there are no elements of placeness. But as time goes by, elements of placeness have been increased gradually. Finally, in the fourth generation, various elements of placeness are found in some game spaces.

The background fort this study is related to the concept of modern time and space which has been extended from physical space to virtual space in the present times witnessing the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Based on visual tactility and illusion in virtual reality, we intended to present the possibility of the interactions as realistic as the interactions occurring in reality. Regarding the scope of this study, we analyzed the relationship between illusion in game space and immersion in interactions based on the games used frequently among current virtual reality contents. The results of the study showed that the interactions in virtual reality occurred within the space converging the time and space and that the illusion of digital images had realistic position of reality without original. Research which investigates the interaction in virtual space and media projection method for real space and virtual space will provide useful basis for promoting technological development based on novel methods differentiated from existing image grammar and for identifying the content utilization methods.

컴퓨터게임에 대한 여러 가지 논의는 부정적이거나 기술적인 연구의 한계점을 보이지만, 그 가능성과 사회적 영향력에 대한 부분은 우리 생활 깊이 들어와 인식되고 있다. 다양한 분야에 걸쳐 복잡한 특성을 드러내는 컴퓨터게임은 현 디지털시대와 이 시대를 살고 있는 모두를 포함하여 이들의 문화와 크게 밀접한 연관성을 가진다. 이에 따라 컴퓨터게임이 어떻게 현 시대를 반영하고, 영향력을 미치는지에 대해 다각도의 학문적 접근이 필요함을 밝히고자 한다. 결핍에서만 생겨나는 욕망의 주체가 컴퓨터게임이라는 즐김의 공간에서 일상과는 대립된 가상을 실현하는 심리적 관점에서의 관찰과 함께 양방향적인 게임의 특성을 각각의 이론들과 연관지어 보면서, 막연한 부정적인 시각에서 벗어나 컴퓨터게임을 여러 분야의 만남의 장으로 인식하고 문화로서 바라보는 객관적 시각의 필요성을 밝혀보고자 한다.

This study presents an investigation into game patterns prominent in mobile games. The term "pattern" used in this study is inherited by the concept used in "A study for user experience of the game : based on the pattern type and the pattern type attribute of the game space" by Gwak E Sac(2016). There is, however, a difference between them. While the previous study limited the gamers' experience patterns to "game spaces" in the use of "pattern," the present study expanded the scope of gamers' experience patterns to the "mobile game market." Although the mobile game market is growing rapidly, there is a tendency of uniformity in mobile games due to the reduction of development time and the destruction of genres in the development of mobile games. Recognizing this situation, the investigator summarized experience patterns in the current mobile game market into: repeat familiar game play, valuable game action, value and consumption of time and preference and selection of game.

Hamel has a scholastic value as the first person, who announces Jeju and Korea to Europe. However, there has been little research on developing digital contents except a few books about Hamel. We develop an educational game on PDA using Hamel, based on Hamel character, Jeju's unique culture, multimedia technology, and so on. Compared with the previous games, it is different from the form of gathering points and has various game scenarios through interactions between Hamel character and game space. The structure of this game, which connects Jeju culture and cyber space together, represents the form of a digital storytelling. You can study through this game. It uses quizzes about Jeju culture, crossword puzzles, finding a sequence, finding differences between two pictures to teach users, and fixing pieces of a figure, etc. When we made the game, we divided it into some independent modules to make new game series easily using contents of the other provinces.

Video games, recognized as the "ninth art," carry not only entertainment functions but also the significant responsibility of disseminating ideas and culture. Increasingly, game developers are integrating specific cultural elements into their games, aiming to foster cultural heritage and emotional resonance. This study explores the modern transformation of traditional artistic concepts in the digital gaming field, starting from the Chinese painting theory of 'Woyou'. By examining game examples, the study analyzes the forms of expression of 'Woyou' in virtual landscape spaces and how player identity influences the 'Woyou' experience. The findings suggest that digital games offer new forms of traditional aesthetic wisdom and that Chinese traditional painting theory can gain modern interpretation in the context of digital game design. This provides theoretical support for optimizing game visual design and promotes the expansive development of traditional art concepts in the new media era.
