Recently, the development of cloud technology, related to service has spread to various fields. In the game field, to develop the N screen services using cloud technology without regard to the performance of the device, there is incresing interest to have been able to play to share any information of user in a variety of platforms. This paper aims to find the feature of game was developed using the cloud technology. After literature on the cloud technology research were reviewed, it is checked to how apply in the currently released cloud based game, based on find the features of the game. We expect to develop the cloud based game with feature of cloud and apply to develop the N screen game in the future.

The wide-spread use of the broadband Internet service makes the cloud computing-based gaming service possible. A game program is executed on a cloud node and its live image is fed into a remote user's display device via video streaming. The user's input is immediately transmitted and applied to the game. The minimization of the time to process remote user's input and transmit the live image back to the user and thus satisfying the requirement of instant responsiveness for gaming makes it possible. However, the cost to build its servers can be very expensive to provide high quality 3D games because a general purpose graphics system that cloud nodes are likely to have for the service supports a single 3D application at a time. Thus, the server must have a technology of 'realtime multiple rendering' to execute multiple 3D games simultaneously. This paper proposes a new architecture of 2-tier servers of clouds nodes of which one group executes multiple games and the other produces game's live images. It also performs a few experimentations to prove the feasibility of the new architecture.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a network-adaptive N-screen game system to be used in cloud computing. The system we are considering needs to generate game video in a cloud server and transmit the video to multiple game devices over an in-home wireless network via a home game server. It is difficult to support multiple screens which have different resolutions with a single bitstream of game video. Therefore, we developed a new network-adaptive game-video extraction and transmission method using (1) scalable video coding and (2) Raptor code techniques. The simulation, conducted with real game-video, verified the efficiency of the proposed video streaming system.

본 논문에서는 현재 급변하는 국내 게임 산업의 변화를 살펴보면 소수의 인원으로 짧은 시간에 개발이 가능하고 휴대가 간편하며 리스크가 적은 스마트폰 게임 시장의 확장이 두드러지고 있다. 반면에 온라인 게임시장은 무분별한 규제 및 메이져급 게임회사의 중, 소 게임 회사 인수합병으로 인해서 게임 업계는 위축되는 현상으로 가고 있다. 하드웨어, 소프트웨어 및 플랫폼 환경의 빠른 변화로 인해서 게임 개발에 또 다른 영향을 주고 있는데 클라우드 서비스로 인해서 이동형 게임을 더욱 가속화 시킬 수 있게 되었고, On-Live같은 미들웨어 기술의 성장 속도를 보면 고 하이 퀄리티 게임을 이제는 무선 인터넷망을 통해서 손쉽게 즐길 수 있는 방향으로 진화하고 있다고 본다. 이러한 변화에 발맞춰서 게임 개발 환경 및 구축 형태도 진화 시켜야 한다고 보는데 기술적으로는 클라우드 서비스와 미들웨어 쪽에 맞춰서 개발해야 하고, 역기능 부분의 개선책으로 순기능 부분의 기능성 게임은 앞으로 개발 가능성이 매우 높으며 그 중 실버세대와 교육용 게임 시장이 대세로 될 것이다. 즉 이러한 트렌드 분석을 통해서 국내 게임의 발전 방향에 대해서 단점을 극복하고 장점을 부각시켜야 한다.

With the development of fourth industrial revolution-related technology and increased demands for non-face-to-face services, VR games attract attention. This study collected VR game review data from an online game platform STEAM and analyzed chronical trends using text mining and word cloud analysis. According to the results, experience and perceived cost were major trends from 2016 to 2017, increased demands for FPS and rhythm games were from 2018 to 2019, and story and immersion were from 2020 to 2021. It aims to contribute to expanding the base of VR games by identifying the keywords VR users take interest in by period.

This paper proposes a scalable hybrid P2P(peer-to-peer) cloud architecture for MMOGs(massively multiplayer online games) which includes load management schemes for each region. A game world is divided into several game regions and each game region is serviced by at least one peer(player) in this MMOG cloud environment. The load must be managed regionally to support smooth interactions among them even in the presence of a high concentration of players in a specific region. In the proposed architecture where an efficient and effective provisioning of resources is realized, it is suitable for players to interact with cloud servers effectively and it avoids bottlenecks of the current client-server MMOG architecture. This architecture also relieves a lot of computational power and network traffic, the load on the servers in the cloud by exploiting the capacity of the players. Simulation results show that the proposed hybrid P2P cloud architecture can reduce the considerable bandwidth at the server compared to the client server architecture as the available resources grow with the number of players in crowding or hotspots.

클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술의 탄생과 다양한 이동단말기, 디지털 TV의 보급은 컴퓨터 게임과 같은 고품질 3D 애플리케이션을 이동단말기나 디지털 TV에서도 사용하고자 하는 사용자의 욕구를 불러일으키고 있다. 고가의 고성능 장비를 갖춘 서버에서 3D 애플리케이션을 구동하고 사용자는 저가의 원격 단말기를 사용하여 서버에 초고속 인터넷을 통하여 접속한다면 고품질 3D 애플리케이션을 별도의 추가 비용 없이 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기반의 게임 스트리밍 기술을 정의하고, 가능성을 고찰하고자 한다. 아울러, 현재 개발 완료된 또는 개발중인 기술에 대해서 핵심 기술, 장단점을 분석하고자 한다.
