The growth of a game character is represented by the addition and subtraction of the status value. The status factors are variously defined and used depending on the kind of games. In this paper, we propose how character 's status elements are defined and used. We also propose a method for assigning a status value when generating a character considering growth. This method is designed using genetic algorithms to link the growth of a character with an element of time and to generate a character with the appropriate status value according to the change of time. The proposed method is verified through experiments based on time variation.

The purpose of the present study is to build a theoretical basis for game character that represents the various personalities and interacts with the other characters in the game, applying the HEXACO theory to game character. It is hard to use the HEXACO to the game because the HEXACO is a theory based on the real world, on the contrary, the game has features of the virtual reality. Therefore, the HEXACO needs to be converted to Game HEXACO(G-HEXACO) for applying personality factors to the game character. To achieve this, we surveyed the HEXACO-PI-R and game questions related with the HEXACO factors. On the basis of the results, we designed G-HEXACO. This study means that the HEXACO could be replaced with the G-HEXACO to applying personality factors to the game character.

In football simulation games, it is very important for the interest of the game to make the stats of the football players close to reality. As the management concept is introduced to the sports simulation game, when the user plays the game for a long time, the existing player character retires. Therefore, the game creates the environment of the game by creating a new player in the game. In this study, we propose a method to create a new player character by using genetic algorithm to have the optimal ability similar to existing players. We compare and evaluate the player character with the existing random generation method, the correction random method and the proposed algorithm, and verify the validity of the proposed method.

The globalization of the world, fueled by the Internet, made possible for individuals to access the cultures around the world, other than their own, easier than ever before. But among those rapidly sought out sub-cultures, the video gaming industry, once a niche market mostly for nerds and geeks, now has become one of the biggest entertainment businesses in the world. In a video game, one of the critical elements that could determine its success or failure is the characters featured in the game. And as the countless number of animated characters from many different video games from the past few years have become incredibly popular among the audiences around the world, the expectations from the fans also grow higher every time a new game comes out. Ultimately this has forced the video game developers to come up with more unique and interesting characters for their video games. And at this point, where a video game character is more than just fictional fantasy but a brand to be recognized, it is worth paying proper attention to the video game characters that represent Korea. Hence in this study, we will take a look at Han Ju-Ri, a Korean character featured in Super Street Fighter IV, a competitive fighting game developed by Capcom, one of the world's most recognized video game companies that started its life as an arcade video game, developer but eventually ventured its business into the online world. The study will propose a complete overhaul of the character by incorporating Korea's own traditional looks.

In order for the game industry to grasp the initiative of the global industry, it is time to positively need storytelling that can move the emotions of gamers over graphical appearance. Also, in the era of the 4th industrial revolution where the point of contact between virtual and reality spreads widely, it seems that the game character industry will rapidly emerge. Therefore, the author recognizes the importance of the character industry in the future, and based on the accumulated game research, he has identified 10 elements necessary for character storytelling. The ten elements are as follows. Design of life, design of race, design of occupation, design of PC and NPC, design of monster, design of personality, design of conflict, design of protagonist, design of external image, design of birth and death.

The development of network technology has made rapid growth for online gaming industry on the Internet. Recently, game players have been wanting for a free migration on the game character for game player managed by online game servers of different types. Existing research on the acceptance of the game players demands have suggested migration model of the game character. However, the game Character Migration Process between the game server of different types migration is focused only, and safety issue that is necessary in an online transaction is overlooked. Therefore, ensure the safety of transactions information and when a dispute arises is necessary countermeasures. In this paper, Secure game Character Migration System (SCMP) using dual signature method when migrating game characters between the game servers of different types based on existing research is propose and looks to examine the safety.

This study was conducted as follows. First, the game character design elements have been arranged so that the player's personality can be reflected in the character customizing. Second, the importance of design elements in mobile games and video games was derived through AHP. Third, through the difference in importance, the direction of character customizing improvement was suggested. External appearance in mobile games and the action in video games is evaluated as overwhelmingly important. Therefore, it is necessary to diversify the appearance in mobile games and the action in video games.

The purpose of this paper is to study the internal side of game character for realistic characters, applying the HEXACO theory. To achieve this, we analyzed FIFA Online3 character's HEXACO based on the chaTacter features in game. The character does not have the all of the attributes of the present player. Therefore we reference the actual external evaluation keyword of players and analyzed HEXACO of actual players. The HEXACO of the character was complemented, comparing with the player's HEXACO. In order to apply to the game the character's HEXACO was simplified and divided by each position. Finally, we suggested a method of applying the character's HEXACO.

Game characters provide a path to connect and interact between game designers and players through the personality. We need to study the personality design of game characters considering the interaction. The character's personality is formed through 'design elements' and 'personality factors' according to the intention of the game designers. It is formed to the ultimate character's personality by interacting with the player's personality factor. 14 design elements and 40 personality factors were extracted. This study suggests a 'game character personality model' considering the interaction.

This paper proposed an efficient game character design method through semiotic analysis of character. It inquired into the characteristics of game character of various contents characters, added the concept of "Iconic abstraction" of Scott McCloud to its characteristics, and studied on the relation between the character and the semiotics. The semiotic character from the factual character, seized the strong and weak point of each character, and divided them in the designer's character production process and gamer's character recognition process step by step for its semiotic interpretation. As a result, two processes were reversely progressed, and the character designing process considering this gamer's semiotic recognition process is expected to be the efficient character design element that can deliver the whole characteristics of game contents.
