In the majority of todays animation and computer games, the behaviours of characters are controlled by pre-defined game logic or pre-generated motion. As game developers strive for richer and more interactive games, they often encounter limitations with this approach. This paper attempts to construct a game model using Genetic Algorithms (GAs) in order to produce more intelligent and compelling computer games. Based on learning ability, the use of GAs will enable the characters to continually evolve, providing a changing and dynamic game environment. A real-time game was implemented to investigate the performance and limitations of the system.

The study is to explore the ways to design game characters according to the tendency of game users by classifying game users and analyzing the relation between user classes and their preferences towards game characters. The study examines various user classifications based on users' engagement levels, and designs a user questionnaire from them. Based on the result of questionnaire analysis, the study redefines user classes and applies the formal elements of character design to draw on the relationships between user classes and their preferences.

Personal space is an invisible space around people and plays an important role in human communication. Individual spaces are known to change according to gender and relationships in communication between people. This study examines whether such personal space exists between characters on a metabus. Gender participants took up short personal space, and female participants found that on the Metabus, they changed their personal space according to their intimacy or gender with other people's characters rather than their own. Male participants are thought to change their personal space according to their personality in case of reason in Metabus. From this, it is thought that the participant continues to have physicality, just as the meta-bus actually has a body. Female participants found that in Metabuses, as in the real world, gender between characters has a similar short personal space, rather than gender, and intimacy between characters. In the case of male participants, it was shown that the closeness between the characters was similar to that of the personal space, but the gender of other characters did not change the personal space. Future validation of personal space for metabus characters requires comparison of shapes of individual spaces and cultures, such as individual characteristics, such as introduction and extroversion of individual space, and experiments of gender. In this experiment, the number of female experiment participants is strongly required in future experiments, as compared with male experiment participants, and the need for various cultural experiments is also required.

From the perspective that RPG games give players a sense of reality, the characterization of game characters can be said to be at the heart of design behavior. The personality of a unique character enhances the player's concern and commitment, allowing players to experience a variety of experiences. Through theoretical research and case analysis, this paper analyzes the expression of individuality in RPG game character design. In the RPG game, the way to express the character's individuality is first based on the game's time-space background, plot, task, etc. to inform the character's general gender, race, occupation, and skills. In line with the application and use of the characters, the roles will be developed in a concrete and rich way, and the shapes, movements, colors, costumes and weapons will be more refined. The purpose of this study is to obtain the main factors that influence RPG character's personality design from the viewpoint of perceptual design theory. In addition, it is proposed that the RPG game character personality design method should be adopted.

The purpose of this study is to comprehend the characteristics of collaborative examples in mobile games by analyzing the types of cultural fusion and their utilization in mobile game industry. The major examples of collaborations include the collaborative works utilizing artists, characters, and products by examining the practical collaborations within international mobile games between the years 2010 to 2014. The most typical kind of collaboration among them is the utilization of characters, composed of using characters between games, applying animation characters, borrowing cartoon or web-cartoon characters, hiring famous celebrities, or even including great men in their games. Therefore, the characteristics of mobile game's collaborative types are confirmed as below by studying the above examples. (1) There are many examples of collaborating between different types of businesses defined as 'conversion type fusion.' (2) The character utilization is the most sought after type of collaboration. (3) The applied content's target audience seems to share the same age groups of the game's audience. (4) The game industry always adopts the components that could be recognized instantly. (5) The status and influence of mobile game have risen greatly. Consequently, this research has important role in establishing the strategic collaborative plans for mobile game business by expanding the prospects of game related researches and industrial and academic theories.

The third-person side view game perspective of side-scrolling games makes playing such games a completely different gaming experience from other traditional games. Nowadays, many game elements are combined with each other, and horror and puzzle elements are often combined to appear in side-scrolling games, bringing players a unique gaming experience. In such games, players seem to be watching their own manipulation of characters. The performance is the same as a stage play, so how to let players better experience such a horror and puzzle-solving stage play through the design of the characters is a key point. However, it is often difficult to accurately classify only from game elements, so first of all, the author will explain the game division of the side scrolling horror puzzle game. After that, this article will analyze the character designs in the three works with high sales and good reputation on Steam, and then draw conclusions.

3D engines loading, and expansion of the usable capacity, next-generation smartphone game markets are rising briskly by the improvement in CPU processing speed of Phones (hardware of smartphone). Therefore, in creating 3D game characters, realistic and free-form animations in a small screen of a smartphone are becoming important. Through this paper, as a method of creating characters and operating for game characters to cause user's feeling, with NURBS data of MAYA, We completed a face in turns of eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and with Polygon Cube tool, modeled hands and feet. After dividing a cube into half and modeling it, through mirror copying We completed the whole body and modeled the low-polygon. Then to model realistic and free-form characters, We completed each detail with ZBrush and applied Divide level up to 4. Though they might look rough and exaggerated, We tried to express stuck-out parts and fallen-in parts effectively and smoothly with Smooth brush effect, map and design the low-polygon 3D characters.

The purpose of this study is to come up with ways that cooperate between on-line game design and fashion design by analyzing trend color and on-line game character's costume color in on-line game. As for the research methodology, First, on-line games were selected with reference to www.ranky.com. Second, 2009 SS trend color palettes suggested by Copenhagen International Fashion Fair was used as a criterion of fashion trend. Third, on-line game character's costume colors were analyzed in relation to the degree of reflection of trend and the game character's type. The results are as follows. Each on-line game character costume's colors were made in accordance with typical character types. But we can find a one-to-one correspondence between fashion trend colors and game character costume's colors. That's because both trends and character types are the results of the continuing interactions between human-beings and societies. In comparison with fashion trend colors, game character costume colors are partly raw and inharmonious. Therefore, it is necessary to apply fashion trend color in game character costume design for enhancing competitiveness in the world market.
