Video game industry has undergone the drastic changes for forty-year history. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the historical evolution of the U.S. video game industry. To achieve this goal, this study has chosen the industrial organization model as the theoretical framework. This study found that the market structure as well as the market conduct in the U.S. video game industry changed drastically. This study concludes that the change of the market structure of the U.S. video game industry relates to the change of market conduct. This study could serve as the basis for future research on the economic analysis of video game industry.

A game story that used to be free needs a work of concrete and artificial organizing and arranging these days. This is because a game story is frequently made into a new genre such as a movie or an animation. As shown in many previous studies, most of the movies made from successful digital games failed to receive satisfying box office results. To overcome this, narratively completed storytelling should be presented from the development phase of a game. The methods are as follows: It is necessary to maximize the synergy effect through the interaction between storytelling experts, game developers, animators, and movie producers in developing a game. This will help to create a game with more sophisticated and complete narrative structure than now. It is necessary to secure the diversification of game genres. Currently in Korea, online games are unusually leading the game industry. PC games or console games are more advantageous than online games for putting a finished narrative structure into a game.

Recently, as multi-platform game environments become common, many games of convergence genre have been produced, and the boundaries of genre division by existing platforms have become blurred. The game genre is convergence content consisting of user-centered 'narrative and play'. In this paper, we propose a game genre classification according to the user 's behavior type based on the essential recognition that the subject of the game is the user. The user's actions are done in different genres and goals and rules, and the interaction is an important act for immersion. Therefore, the user's behavioral classification and perception by the game genre are important and expected to help redefine the game structure.

A game designer is the initial design of the quest based on narrative. It is important that to predict game character of play experience to establish these static content. This paper deal with player's affective interaction distinguishing among game characters are perform quest-play based on their characteristic status. To achieve this, First of all, previous studies regarding pre-visualization of narrative structure for other visual media are reviewed. Secondly, it is specified that quest-play experience and player's cognitive behavior. At last, these features of status by character were pre-visualized with QUG(Quest Unit Graph), which could be represented differences in precess of quest-play through analysis on world of warcarft game. Previous research is about of numerical balance in terms of character's achievement, whereas this study is meaningful that is proposed that visual model of quest-play interaction focused on narrative structure to predict game designer's architecture of quest experience.

This study examined to the aspects of capital and class structure, focusing on 'Reproduction' of Bourdieu, P, through collecting the post titles of the game community of online FPS games 'Overwatch' and 'Battleground', related to keyword, 'Game Hack'. The data used in the study was collected and refined through the statistical program R and analyzed by the analysis site 'Bigkinds'. At results, we will reveal that the class structure of the online FPS gamer group is based on cultural capital and reproduction, and suggest the right direction for the Game Hack regulation policy from the point of view of the cultural capital theory.

In the large scale indoor 3D game scenes, the data amount of potentially visible set (PVS) which pre-computes the information of occlusion culling can be huge. However, the large part of them can be represented as zero. In this paper, the effective hardware structure is designed, which compresses PVS data as the way of zero run length encoding (ZRLE) during building the scene trees of 3D games in mobile environments. The compression ratio of the proposed structure and the rendering speed (frame per second: FPS) according to both PVS culling and frustum culling are analyzed under 3D game simulations.

In the game industry, traditional game development way was to develop a game engine in advance before developing game content. This has the disadvantage is the high cost of developing the game engine. Further, there is a problem that the game content are not developed unless the game engine is prepared in advance. In order to solve these problems, the game industry has recently selected a method of purchasing a license for a commercial engine, which is a method for improving the game content development productivity, rather than concentrating on game engine development. In this paper, we describe a game object and the structure in Unity and Unreal Engine 4. We compared the editor interface and the supported development languages in the two game engines. We also implemented a First-Person Shooter game to compare how the player's configuration and event handling differ from the two game engines.

This study aims to analyze the structure and characteristics of the domestic online game industry using network analysis. In particular, two-mode network analysis is employed to measure the network structure, centrality, and cluster for two types of online game platforms, online games and mobile games, from 1996 to 2014. We also conduct a dynamic analysis to capture the structural changes in the ecosystem by internal and external environmental changes before and after turning point for each online game platform. It is revealed that the online game econsystem has the higher number of clusters and higher concentration ratio than those of mobile game ecosystem. In dynamic analysis, both platforms exhibit similar trends over time with the increasing number of clusters, enlargement of largest cluster's size, and decreasing concentration ratio. This study is expected to provide fruitful implications for strategic decision making of online game companies and policy making for the online game industry.

When we execute a online game in the network, a lots of game informations and user informations are transfered between game server and game clients. This information has deferent data structure and communication protocol. So, game developers will be design the communication protocols and packet structures after analyze the game. And, they will be design the database for user management. It will be lots of overload to the game developers. From a user point of view, they must be register to each game server to use several games. It is a undesible operation for the game users. This problems are solved by using the communication server which operates commonly with several game servers. Game providers can get the benefit of multiple access of users and get freedom from user management. Game users can access the several games which connected to communication server by register the communication server only. In this paper we design the communication packet and propose a communication protocol which operates on the communication server described previous.

The copyright against the game which is successful to a performance, is increasing rapidly. The compute r game is sensitive to a popularity. Game from the hazard which it develops short time, the expense which is cheap, about lower the dispute with a copyright, a reproduction and the ticket paragraph increases with the insufficient back of technical power. It analyzes the quality of the tools comparison it will be able to analyze the source codes from the dissertation which it sees. It analyzed the game source code and against the method which produces the original program and the reproduction degree of reproduction program for it researched. The method which produces a reproduction degree game feature following function shares a module especially. After from each module separating a file in file structure, source pro gram and data structure form, it calculates a similarity measure. It followed in important degree of each function and weight it let and the fixed quantity reproduction degree of full game program it produced.
