Most of the games developed or marketed in the Chinese game market are developed and serviced in foreign countries or are produced in Korea (China) and marketed as services of foreign game companies. If China wants to become the world's game development powerhouse, I think that professional education in multiple methods is the top priority. In particular, I think that a specialized game design department is necessary at a university in China. In this paper, we investigate the game design departments of universities in the United States and the game development powers in South Korea and the Korean game development powers to analyze the educational system of the game design department. Through comparative analysis, a Chinese university finds the necessary elements when establishing a new game design department, and trains advanced game developers in the game field at the Chinese Department of Digital Media Arts. If this study is helpful to the game education in China, it will be studied in the future for the master's program and the doctoral program.

As the market sheare of the Chinese game market across the world has been largely expanded over a decade, big game exporters of USA, Japan, Korea have developed Chinese factors and promoted export strategies, that target China. The Purpose of this study is to analyze the popular game characters of USA, Japan and Korea in order to provide empirical analysis of traditional Chinese elements applied in existing games. The RPG games in USA, Japan and Korea were selected for the contents analysis of the Chinese elements to show how the existing game companies used Chinese elements. The main findings of the research from survey data are rather inconsistent with the content analysis. In particular, all the RPG game companies of USA, Japan and Korea showed a remarkable ratio of using Manzu clothes more than Hanzu clothes. But, the preference of real game users on the Manzu style were lower than Hanzu style. Moreover, Chinese users showed more preference of the game character background that users more deepen Chinese culture. We suggest that applying Chinese elements need to be more selective based on real user's demand.

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.

For this, this study conducted a comparative analysis about various countries adopted self regulation system, such as America, Japan, and European Union. We drew some implications on the Korean practical policy for the digital game. First, self regulation organization should be consisted of market-friendly form. Second, though self regulation organization is a autonomous system of market, the organization should take rights to regulate illegal case. This would be a good way not only to reduce unnecessary institutional regulations but also to take socially image of reliable media.

Despite the innovation of AI and Big Data, theoretical research bout the effect of AI and Big Data on market competition is still in early stages; therefore, this paper analyzes the effect of AI, Big Data, and data sharing on an entry firm by using game theory. In detail, the firms' business environments are divided into internal and external ones. Then, AI algorithms are divided into algorithms for (1) customer marketing, (2) cost reduction without automation, and (3) cost reduction with automation. Big Data is also divided into external and internal data. this study shows that the sharing of external data does not affect the incumbent firm's algorithms for consumer marketing while lessening the entry firm's entry barrier. Improving the incumbent firm's algorithms for cost reduction (with and without automation) and external data can be an entry barrier for the entry firm. These findings can be helpful (1) to analyze the effect of AI, Big Data, and data sharing on market structure, market competition, and firm behaviors and (2) to design policy for AI and Big Data.
