This paper aims to study whether the perspective of the character controlled by a player can affect the player on her moral decision. To this end we designed and developed Castaway, an interactive story using Unity3D game engine. The main story plot of Castaway is based on the trial 'R v Dudley and Stephens (also known as mignonette 1884) which occurred at 1884 in U.K. In Castaway, the player can choose either the accused or the victim, and then play the interactive story with the perspective of the chosen character. To investigate the relationship between the player's empathy to the player character and player's moral decision, we conducted a small-scale (n=10) pilot study. Results of the pilot study have shown that different perspectives can influence the player on her empathy to player character and her moral decision. In near future we plan to conduct a main study with more participants.

Lacan's Identification theory has been applied to various cultural genres such as literature, film, media so on. Especially, Identification theory in Film Theory gives game researchers who try to apply identification theory to the game, a concrete base. This paper aims to explain the gamer's action through identification theory. Thus, we divide identification into the level of the gamer's point of view and that of the character in game text. While point-on-view of identification, the primary identification, in film has been explained that the audience identifies with camera's point-of view, in game one identifies with various point-of-views. There are two aspects of Identification of characters in game. First, gamers identify themselves with moving images on screen. Second, They identify with the roles given to themselves. The factors which allow them identification are suppression of false statement system, interpolation and process of selection, arrangement, a cursor, colours on screen.

In strong dramas, pot, character, and theme, three basic elements in dramatic structure, are effectively integrated forwards the same dramatic idea. Plot might be considered as the most important element to combine events and character. However, at some point of the script, the writer becomes less interested in the mechanics of the plot, and the characters take over, because audiences remember the characters or the situations more clearly than the plot. Therefore, the workshop of dramatic structure would be successful when it starts from excogitating the character and the situation, by improvising 'voices' of characters, building 'back story', and reconstructing 'outline from the antagonist's view'. With these exercises, the writer and the director understand the mechanics of dramatic plotting by characterization, which include the choice of the protagonist, and the description of plausible actions and the theme, and they consequentially find the way to obtain solidity and plausibility in the scenes.

본 연구는 게임이용자의 게임선택에 있어서 게임이용자와 게임캐릭터의 관계를 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 국내 게임시장이 게임업체간의 치열한 경쟁구도로 레드오션으로 바꿔진 현 시점에서 게임업체들은 게임이용자의 게임선택요인을 조사 분석하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 2010 대한민국 게임백서에 의하면, 게임이용자의 게임 선택 요인으로 캐릭터 선호도는 좋아하는 장르(57.3%), 지인추천(15.1%) 그리고 좋아하는 내용(13.7%)에 이어 4위를 차지하고 있을 정도로 매우 중요한 게임 선택 요인이라 할 수 있으며, 애니메이션, 게임 등 문화콘텐츠 산업에서 캐릭터와 관련된 선행연구에 의해서도 캐릭터의 중요성을 언급하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 게임 캐릭터는 게임이용자가 게임을 선택하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 변수라 할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 1인칭 시점 VR 게임 콘텐츠를 개발하였고, 멀티플레이를 구현할 때, 가상현실 세계에서 플레이어들끼리 대면했을 때 서로의 캐릭터가 폰 콘트롤러라는 이름의 팔만 보이는 외형을 띠고 있다. 게임에서 시각적인 부분을 간과할 수 없기에 멀티플레이 시 서로의 캐릭터가 보일 수 있도록 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 3인칭 캐릭터를 이용해서 만든 캐릭터는 인간과 같은 외형의 스켈레톤을 사용하면 원하는 캐릭터를 사용할 수 있다. 3인칭 캐릭터의 양팔의 트랜스폼 값을 언리얼엔진4의 라이브러리인 패브릭 노드를 이용하여 모션 콘트롤러와 매핑을 시키는 방식으로 접근하였다. 이를 통해 좀더 플레이시 실감이 가능한 게임 제어기법을 적용할 수 있다.

Game program had been classed by 3D or on-line game etc, and engine and game programming simply, But, game programmer's kind more classified new, Artifical Intelligence game programmer's role is important. This paper makes game character study and moved by intelligence using reinforcement learning algorithm. Fought with character enemy using developed game, Confirmed whether embodied game character is facile by intelligence, As result of an experiment, we know, studied character defends excellently than randomly moved character.

MMORPG게임의 구현에 있어서 가장 큰 문제의 하나는 서버와 연결된 클라이언트들 사이의 동기화이다. 이를 위해서 MMORPG게임에서는 grid-based filtering을 적용하여 동기화 문제를 해결하고 있다. 그러나 MMORPG게임의 형태가 이인칭 관점 시점의 2D에서 일인칭 관점의 시점의 3D 게임으로 변함에 따라서 grid-based filtering으로 인한 동기화는 낭비적인 요소를 포함하게 되었다. 즉 일인칭 관점시점의 3D게임에서는 가까운 거리의 캐릭터 사이에도 주변 장애물의 영향으로 비 가시관계에 놓임에 따라서 동기화의 필요성이 없어지는 경우가 생기게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 일인칭 관점 게임의 3D MMORPG게임에서 컴파일 시 각 셀을 중심으로 가시성 테스트를 수행하여 가시영역내의 셀들만을 동기화 대상으로 지정한 후 게임 진행 시 현재 셀 속의 캐릭터들에게 동기화 대상으로 설정된 셀 속의 클라이언트들만을 동기화 시켜줌으로서 통신량을 줄여주는 방법을 제안한다.

In order for the game industry to grasp the initiative of the global industry, it is time to positively need storytelling that can move the emotions of gamers over graphical appearance. Also, in the era of the 4th industrial revolution where the point of contact between virtual and reality spreads widely, it seems that the game character industry will rapidly emerge. Therefore, the author recognizes the importance of the character industry in the future, and based on the accumulated game research, he has identified 10 elements necessary for character storytelling. The ten elements are as follows. Design of life, design of race, design of occupation, design of PC and NPC, design of monster, design of personality, design of conflict, design of protagonist, design of external image, design of birth and death.

본 논문은 선행 연구된 인공감정 모델에 성격 유형별로 정서적 특징을 반영한 캐릭터의 인공감정을 설계하여 적용하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 캐릭터의 인공감정은 성격 유형별로 정서적 특징을 생성에서 소멸까지의 시간과 크기로 표현할 수 있다. 따라서 정서의 유지시간, 정서적 경험을 한번 했을 때 느낄 수 있는 최대 크기와 정서를 표현하는 시점을 두 단계로 나누어 정서적 특성을 MBTI 성격 유형에 따라 적용한다. 이렇게 설계된 인공감정은 실제 캐릭터의 적용해보고 성격 유형에 따라 감정 표현과 변화를 분석한다.

There has been not the research on the reason of success based on the characteristic of narrative and characters of , I defined the major characteristic of this genre as family animation, and aimed at researching strategic character and narrative. The characteristics of each characters are identified, and compared with other animation, soap opera, and sitcom. The portion that characters participated in the narrative was analyzed, and the relationship between the point and viewers was also researched in the specific episodes. 1) The characters against the ideal ones function to satirize the fixed idea pursued by the mass, and stimulate the viewers' desire. 2) All the characters are protagonist and sometimes antagonist, or advisor. The circulating position expands the target of viewers, and decreases the cultural discount. 3) It produces a couple of layered narrative, then children, teenagers, and adults enjoy the each different depth of the narrative, resulted in the target expansion. Considering on the limit of theme and target in Korean animation, I expect the findings above will enable to produce more valuable and consistent contents. Later, characters in the Korean family animation is to be researched and the expandability and sustainability would be ensured.
