The Game development process that the Korea Game Development Infinity researches and publishes has laid important groundwork for the game industry. However, the game design cannot guarantee a software quality because an artifact is made incorrect by a game planner's new idea and modification. In this paper theorized the system to maintain artifacts consistently that is generated in planning phase and make changed contents traceable. First, it defined an ACT graph to represent relation of between artifacts, a ACT table that traces and manages it changes and a table of artifacts change history. Also, it suggested the ACT process applying as we mentioned above. Then we worked a case study to verify the change tracking technique which is presented. In a case study, we find game designer is capable to grip and modify a change of artifacts when it occurs a change of game design artifacts. As a result of that, we can save the time and effort to maintain the consistency among game design artifacts.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative effect of individual-, parents-, and game-related variables on game addiction. Totally, 1065 10 to 18-year-olds participated and completed questionnaires. Male students had more tendency to game addition than female students. No difference in the level of addiction, however, was appeared among elementary, junior-high, and high school groups, which means that many young children are already Same-addicted. More severely addicted children and adolescents showed higher level of impulsivity, more difficulties in communication with their parents, and more expectation of psychological gratification and interpersonal relationship through the internet games. The relative effects of these independent variables to game addiction were different among gender*school groups. Firstly, impulsivity was significant only in boys of elementary group. Secondly, for the junior-high group, communication with father and mother was important to boys and girls, repectively. Lastly, expected gratification from gaming itself mainly predicted high school students' game addiction, irrespective of gender. The findings of this study suggest that earlier intervention to young garners should be carried out.
