The game industry has been seeing rapid change brought on by the competitive environment globally. As a result, game design skill is being magnified as a key to success. Because of lack of game design skills, Korean game market is in crisis recently. The game analysis is necessary to enhance game design skills. However, criteria and definition of game analysis is not clear and it is difficult to use for game development. This paper will suggest H-G model which has two factors that are 'human role' and 'the scope of game analysis'. This model segments 9 types of game analysis method. This study finds the limitation of leading researches and tries to improve it mapping the major leading researches to H-G model. This paper would help to make the game analysis be integrated and systemic research as regards 9 types of H-G model.

This study looks at the social implications of gaming disorder by considering the situation in Korea. Focusing on specificity of game genres, this study analyzed two aspects of the game playing effect-positive(cognitive needs) and negative(game addiction)-and suggested directions for game regulation policies and game addiction studies, since game playing effects are closely related to game regulatory policy. To analyze game effects and attitudes to regulations, this study performed regression analysis based on the online survey. Results show that game playing effects and attitudes toward game regulation differ based on the nature of game genres. While longer gaming increased the effect of addiction, it also increased cognitive needs. Playing roleplaying, Aeon of Strife, and strategy game genres(RAS), which are subject to game regulation, increased game addiction levels but simultaneously contributed to increased cognitive needs. While playing augmented reality genres positively affected cognitive needs, it also showed favorable attitudes to general game regulation.

The game & multimedia industry is a high-valued industry comparing to any industry. Also, it has been shown the possibility as considerably bright future industry due to a development of the Internet, an explosive growth of on-line game market, and a union with virtual reality technology Since an on-line game having a clear profit model is expanding to PC and other platform, it brings to us a large change throughout the whole game industry. In order to develop a game, we need a number of elements. A game character among them delivers to a user the overall characteristics of a game as a visual representation and makes us access to a game directly and sensuously. A game character of on-line game is considerable in an operation in the volume of initial sales from a viewpoint of marketing. In addition, it affects to secure users and be immersed in a game. In this paper, we propose a production skill of an efficient 3D game character for 3D on-line game.

The present study examined electrical brain activations in participants playing three different video games. Forty-five adolescents between the ages of 13-17 (M=14.3 years, SD=1.5) were randomly assigned to play either a violent game, non-violent game, or brain training game. Electroencephalography (EEG) was recorded during video game play. Following game play, participants completed a questionnaire measuring prosocial personality. Results show an association between prosocial personality factors and differential patterns of brain activation in game groups. Adolescents with higher empathy playing the brain training game were positively correlated with frontal asymmetry scores, while empathy scores for those in non-violent and violent game groups were negatively linked to frontal asymmetric activation scores. Those with higher scores in helpfulness in the non-violent game group showed a positive association to left hemisphere activation. Implications behind these findings are discussed in the manuscript.

Function Point(FP) is well spread and advanced methodology in software costing. But FP is not common in game contents costing. It is one reason that Game Contents is a new area in software costing. And, ISO/IEC FDIS 19761(final draft) recommends not to use FP method in game contents costing. So we suggested new methodology in that area which is called Game Factor Point Method(GFPM). In this paper, we studied more about the weight of the game factor. We hope this will clarify them. We made definition of game factor, and studied more detail about Mission which was a little ambiguous in prior study. We also studied difficulties of game factor which will be a very important factor in game contents costing.

The future of the game industry depends on developing contents. Especially a high level game needs all kinds of scenarios. Therefore, it is important to popularize writing game scenarios. Scientific scenario study is also needed to educate talented scenario writers and game designers. This is a case study on interactive elements of the game scenario, such as items, puzzles, and events. In conclusion, when these interactive elements becoming smoothly one parts of the game the game is now perfectly finished, rather than disturbing the process of the game story. I hope that this study is some helpful to game developers.

This study explores the effects of 'save and load' on game storytelling. In video games, a player can control the game she plays by repeatedly saving and loading game data until she reaches her intended goal. As a consequence, a player can manage the game time. In this article, game time is divided into two parts; play time and story time in order to examine how player's intentions are reflected in game storytelling. This is what distinguishes game narrative from others in that the player generates her own story by saving and loading.

This study examined user experiences of motion-based games. Focusing on the playing experiences, in-depth interviews and survey were conducted on seven families with various family members detailing the gameplay. These qualitative methods were conducted interpretive way such as a month-long participant observation. As a result, the game Sensible meantime, the results were excluded from the game with the older generation of women and the elderly, leading to game culture game is trying to communicate was confirmed.

The game industry has changed along with the advancement of device technology. The wearable, a recently appeared device will create new demand in this saturated age of the smart devices. The game industry's content targeted towards the wearable devices will play an important role as main driving source. For this reason, this research studies the development aspect and the current technical capabilities of games' platforms and contents by analyzing the contrast between the results of features and current situations of the wearable market. Consequently, we define the prospects of game content for wearable device. We also expect that the new style of the game content, combined with cloud game, augmented reality game and virtual reality game will appear in the next generation platforms gearing towards the wearable devices.

In this letter, we propose blackbox and scenario-based testing of multiplayer online games as well as simple load testing. Game testing is done from outside the source code, and the access to the source code is not required to testers because the game logic is described with a game description language and virtual game map. Instead of using a subset of the main game client for the test client, only game packet protocols and the sequence of packets are analyzed for new game testing. In addition, complex and various scenarios can be tested through combining defined actions. Scenario-based testing helps testers mimic real testing environments instead of doing simple load testing and improves the productivity of game testing.
