Game balance settings are crucial to game design. Game balancing must take into account a large amount of numerical values, configuration data, and the relationship between elements. Once released and served, a game - even for a balanced game - often requires calibration according to the game player's preference. To achieve sustainability, game balance needs adjustment while allowing for small changes. In fact, from the producers' standpoint, game balance issue is a critical success factor in game production. Therefore, they often invest much time and capital in game design. However, if such a costly game cannot provide players with an appropriate level of difficulty, the game is more likely to fail. On the contrary, if the game successfully identifies the game players' propensity and performs self-balancing to provide appropriate difficulty levels, this will significantly reduce the likelihood of game failure, while at the same time increasing the lifecycle of the game. Accordingly, if a novel technology for game balancing is developed using artificial intelligence (AI) that offers personalized, intelligent, and customized service to individual game players, it would bring significant changes to the game production system.

With the development of VR technology, the visual immersion of VR games has been greatly enhanced nowadays. There has been an issue that has been troubling players in previous VR games, which is motion sickness. Therefore, VR games have been limited in terms of game mechanics, game duration, and game scale, greatly reducing the immersive experience of visual immersion. However, <Half-Life: Alyx> is different from previous VR games in that players can actually perform spatial displacement in the game scene, rather than being fixed in one place for 360-degree observation and interaction. At the same time, compared to traditional games, VR games no longer need to rely on screens, and the complete visual immersion enhances the fun and playability of the game. This research focuses on the VR game <Half-Life: Alyx> to explore its immersive factors in terms of visual perception. Through in-depth analysis of elements such as color, texture mapping, lighting, etc. in VR games, it was found that the game creates a strong sense of visual immersion in these aspects. Through analysis, it is helpful to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that contribute to visual immersion in VR games, which has certain reference value for game developers and related professionals.

Supporting the interactive relation between gamer and computer, and offering the game world information, the user interface in online games plays an important role for a gamer to lead game into the intended direction. The purpose of this study is to analyse a currently utilized online game with educational implications and to analyse its user interface design elements, in order to suggest the strategy how to reformative educational online games.

2022년을 기점으로 점점 더 커지는 모바일게임 시장에서 수익 창출을 위한 요소를 찾기 위해 참고 문헌과 함께 조사하였다. 기존 연구인 민동현의 논문에서는 13가지(자기 표현, 허영심, 스토리, 게임진행, 즐거움, 기회 제공, 실세계 반영, 경쟁심, 조작보정, 능력치 상승, 랜덤성, 광고활용, 현실 상품 판매 촉진)항목을 제시했으나 시기적, 상황적 차이에 의해 새로운 제안이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 연구를 바탕으로 10년 전과 달리 새로이 도출해야 할 요소를 3가지를 찾아 수익 창출을 위한 새로운 모델을 제시한다.

The study examined how the fun elements of online games and gamers' self-construals affected their flow experience and loyalty to games, focusing on the comparison between the social gamers and the asocial gamers. Results showed that, first, there were significant differences between the two groups in the respective fun elements of achievement, challenge, and closeness; second, differences of gamers' self-construals were found in game environment rather than lifeworld environment; third, the flow experience and game loyalty of social gamers were higher than those of asocial gamers; finally, there were significant differences between the two groups in the effects of the fun elements and gamers' self-construals on their flow experience and game loyalty.

As the Medical Serious Games are recently proven effective, the quality evaluation of the game has become an important issue. In quality evaluation, objective criteria and evaluation elements are important. Quality evaluation of the serious game is divided into two areas : the technical (from the point of view of Program) and the non-technical (from the point of view of Content). In this study, we developed the quality evaluation element of the non-technical area to the psychotherapy and the health & rehab game according to developing process of quality evaluation model. We extracted five evaluation elements from the two kinds of medical games, and interviewed with medical experts in order to ensure the validity of them. The goodness of fit tests for the elements mentioned above were verified by conducting. Chi-square test results for the two groups did not differ significantly. In conclusion, we expect to take advantage of the results of this study to design and develop serious games for medical treatment.

There are elements for the game user get into the emotion of flow (the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity). In game contents, for example, a considerable sophisticated application of 'sound' is one of the important elements must be considered for a qualified game development process. If a proper audio condition is satisfied, a game user is intrinsically solving problems by auditorial sense and the participant get into immersing into the game spontaneously. There are elements in game contents storytelling for the user to be in flow condition, this study will be analyzing a game user's flowing, especially with repetitive usage of sound. To be accurate, 'flow analysis' of Csikszentmihalyi. M, and 'flow factors' of Donna L. Hoffman & Thomas P. Novak, in addition, would be proper references in the research. comparing to a precedent study that analyzed a game and flow focused on visual elements. Ponpoko(Sigma Enterprise Inc., 1981) and Bio Hazard 4(Capcom, 2007) will be given as the main texts. To achieve the desired proposition in the study, user's reaction is monitored by listening repeatable and ordinary sound. Questionnaires are including Frequency Analysis, MANOVA(multivariate analysis of variance).

Many organizations at home and abroad have been developing Metadata for reservation and administration of resources in every field. So we developed a game contents Metadata model for the purpose of reusing game contents, reserving copyrights, managing its life cycle, supporting efficiency of searches, and so on. We proceeded with this study by mapping, re-defining, and adding through the analysis of international Metadata standards and the survey of characteristics of game. Developed model is composed of 13 essential elements, 15 selective elements, and expressed by XML. Then we verified the effectiveness of this model's through expert groups' questionnaires, and showed the significance of the development through comparative analysis with the standard models. Accordingly we guess this study will be helpful to stable growth in rapidly growing game industry.

SCORM is an implementation reference model and also a de-facto standard technology designed for developing e-learning contents and systems effectively. For recent years, as many researchers have been more interested than ever in game based learning, ADL as a SCORM developer, has initiated a basic research on game based learning. However, the game based learning research of ADL has been performed conceptually as well as separately from SCORM so that it lacks in efforts for developing a game based learning SCORM content by incorporating concrete game data into SCORM data model. In this paper, we first present a method for applying game data elements to SCORM data Model, and then illustrate a game based learning SCORM content developed by our method.

This research aims to investigate the difference between game graphics which considers key elements and game systems which do them in the rating classification of adult arcade games during reviews. The case of the supreme court about 'The Golden Porker Castle' last year for 3 years presents the basis whether considers the game graphics or the game system during the review for the game. It implies to identify the gambling game device for the adult arcade game. This research try to find the direction for the scientific, systematic rating classification to enhance the reliability and the validity in it.
