The purpose of this study is to analyze the game dynamics of 'Battle Royale' genre and how these dynamics create dramatic tension, focused on . Battle Royale games maintain the dramatic tension through the intersection of uncertainty and inevitability. Uncertainty is reinforced by randomness of the game world and hidden information of player statement. Inevitability is emerged from the level design with choke point, and restriction of playable field over time. From this mechanism, Battle Royale genre establishes the gameness which derives player's meaningful choice and maintains player's tension until the end of the game.

In the field of mobile games, social network games are steadily increasing in market scale and public interest every year. This paper proposes a method to design a social network game, which is one of the most successful genres in mobile games. The method uses Unity3D, the most commonly used engine for mobile game development. NGUI, a versatile developmental tool of Unity3D, is used to create shops and battle UIs. This paper particularly focuses on how to use the web hosting service to search and operate the necessary data from the database in the server. In addition, the proposed social network game is easy to implement real-time battle using Animator and Raycast, and is characterized by efficient battle implementation through time delay using Coroutine function.

Recently, the mobile game market is growing due to the extension of mobile devices and internet. The mobile games are became a popular culture in society. But the existing mobile games have two simple forms. There are tow models in the mobile games. The first is as follows. The user downloads a game one time and play the game at off-line field. The second is as follows. The user play a battle game at on-line field. In the paper, we propose a new on-line "tug of war" game model which the user can play two kinds of game. They are the on-line battle mode game and the character raising mode game. Thus, this game model is different to existing mobile games and innovative model in mobile game market. This paper proposes a new research field in mobile game market with the characteristic that the user tan play two modes. One mode is the on-line tug of war battle mode and the other is the character raising mode.

Battles between players and monsters are considered to be the core issues of RPG games, and they are something that effects the players the most when it comes to thinking whether that particular game is fun or not. Even though MMORPGs have enabled RPGs to get out of the repetitiveness into unlimited possibility of expandability and capability of modification of game plays, essential game play process remains still important - the basic battle between the player and the monsters. In this research, we made a simulator to simulate the process of the battles to estimate results of battles by pre-testing the battles with setting up the experience values of players and monsters using formulae needed for the battle systems at the beginning of game development. It can be utilized at a tester to find out a better configuration of monsters in the maps for better optimization of time and efficiency of the battles to satisfy the game planning.

현재 국내 e스포츠 시장 규모와 사용자들이 지속적으로 증가되고 있는 시점에서 배틀그라운드라는 게임이 e스포츠 시장에 진입하였다. 배틀그라운드가 현재 e스포츠에 끼치고 있는 영향이 크지만, 좋은 반응을 유도하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 좋지 않은 평을 받고 있는 배틀그라운드의 e스포츠화와 과거의 스타크래프트, LOL(리그오브레전드)과는 달리 배틀그라운드가 흥행하지 못하는 이유와, e스포츠에 적합한지를 연구하고, 차선책을 제안한다.

A battle royale game is a multiplayer video game genre that blends the survival and exploration with last-man-standing gameplay. The genre has been hot in recent years and the 'Player Unknown's Battleground' produced by Korean enterprise PUBG had been the hottest during 2017 and the first half of 2018. However, a similar battle royale game 'Fortnite' became the game of the year in 2018 and the Player Unknown's Battleground sustains the predominance only in Korea and China. In this paper, we investigate the game structure of those two games on combat, survival, farming and charging elements, We also conduct a user survey on what might be the weak point of the Player Unknown's Battleground and why they choose Fornite among users played both but currently play Fortnite. The result shows that the Player Unknown's Battleground sustains the advantage on battle elements but creative charging policy and the efficient survival elements are the reasons of choosing Fortnite between the two.

Recently, for designing virtual characters in the battle game field effectively, some methods are very needed to predicate the win rates of the battle of them efficiently. In this paper, we propose a method to solve this problem by combining simulation and machine learning. Firstly, a simulation is used to analyze the win rates of the battle of virtual characters in the battle game. In addition, we apply a regression model based machine learning scheme to predict win rates of the battle of virtual characters according to their abilities. Our experimental results using suggested method show that it is almost no difference between the win rates of the simulation and the prediction results using the machine learning scheme. And also, we can obtain good performance in the experiment using only simple regression based machine learning model.

2017년, '플레이어언노운스 배틀그라운드' 얼리 액세스 버전의 큰 성공으로 슈팅 게임 장르의 크나큰 변화가 일어났다. 수많은 유저들이 시간이 지날수록 압박해오는 전장과 1등에 근접할수록 높아지는 긴장감, 치열한 접전 끝에 1등을 차지하는 희열에 매료되어 세계적으로 선풍적인 인기를 끌게 되었다. 그러나 시간이 지날수록 유저들의 평균적인 게임 이해도와 실력이 늘어남에 따라 한번 실수에도 치명적인 영향을 받는 장르 특성상 모험보단 안전을 추구하고자 하였고 많은 배틀로얄 게임들이 전략의 고착화, 사용 장비의 고착화가 점점 심화되었다. 본 논문에서는 배틀로얄 장르의 고착화가 어떻게 이루어졌는지 수치와 통계를 통해 설명하고 효율적으로 고착화를 타파하기 위한 새로운 방안을 제시한다.
