In order to improve safety consciousness due to the increase in disasters and safety accidents, safety education is necessary to prepare for disasters with interest in safety. This study is a board game design for disaster safety education for elementary school students based on Keller's learning motivation theory. By considering the school safety curriculum and the safety education contents of the School Safety Mutual Aid Association and the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, the content and goals of learning were derived and the order of learning was determined. When designing game content, the fun elements of the game were applied to Keller's learning motivation inducing factors such as attention concentration (A), relevance (R), confidence (C), satisfaction (S), and educational game design elements to induce the achievement of learning goals at the game planning stage. It is expected that the existing safety education focusing on lecture-style and audiovisual will be supplemented and used in the educational field.

The domestic game industry is diversifying itself in terms of game contents. The existing contents have limits when it comes to satisfy various needs and tastes of users. A scenario which successfully absorbs the players and users of a game may affect the whole game structure. Companies also introduce new contents to seize new customers. Thus, contents are considered more important than the past. Now that companies are able to produce various forms of contents and products out of one specific content, the development of new, user-satisfying contents can affect other fields of the industry. Thus, they are now found in one of the top positions in the business hierarchy. But game developers and experts concentrate more on other factors and environments of games, slowing down the growth of contents development. Therefore, this study focuses more on contents as an essential attribute to game production, especially scenario making. How changing results of a synopsis, as a part of a scenario, affect the preference of game users was the main focus of the study. The result of the study should suggest a positive direction for contents and scenario development.

As the online game industry has been growing rapidly, more and more malicious activities to gain economic benefits have been reported as well. Game bot is one of the biggest problems in the online game industry. So we proposed a bot detection method based on the ERG theory of motivation for the first time. Most of the previous studies focused on behavior-based detection by monitoring patterns of the specific actions. In this paper, we applied the motivation theory to analyze user behaviors on a real game dataset. The result shows that normal users in the game followed the ERG theory of motivation in the same way as it works in real world. But in the case of game bots, the theory could not be applied because the game bot has specific reasons, unlike normal game users. We applied the ERG theory to users to distinguish game bot users from normal users. We detected the game bot with high accuracy of 99.78% by applying the theory.

This paper analyzes system builders and their human networks of the Korean online game industry. By the early 2000s, Korea became one of the major online gaming countries in the world. In this period, important factors included the existence of system builders and their solid human networks. The few innovators who assisted the breakthrough of the development of the online gaming industry formed a human network in universities and IT companies. They shared innovations in information and collectively learned the conventions of the industry. In their achievement, the human networks which had already fully formed in the late 1990s became more noticeable. This paper, with its historical approach, will complement the limits shown by existing researches that, in their effort to find the causes for the success of the Korean online game industry, focus rather narrowly on the conditions of the period during which online games were becoming popular.

I Previous scrolling-shooter games cannot represent various emotions of characters as a personality and situations, so it can only represent simple and momentary emotions. This paper purpose to develop and applying an artificial emotion which gives emotional responses and actions to character as a personality and situations of a character. So we proposed an artificial emotion that receives emotional stimulus, analyzes what emotion will be generated, controls various emotions by a personality and time, and exports a current emotion. To visualize and to test an artificial emotion, We made a scrolling shooter game which has two characters who have a different personality each other. And we applied an artificial emotion to that game, modified it to be able to change status as emotions. To estimate a satisfaction of a artificial emotion for a scrolling-shooter game, we made up a question to two groups-one has people who likes a scrolling shooter game, the other has people who doesn't.

It can be said that film and game industries take core parts of the comtemporary cultural industry. For consumers in modern industry, cultural industry is immensely significant as much as other industries. Because consumers are spending proportionally more money on experiential and emotional needs and less on basics such as food, housing, and clothes. Cultural industry is the one that can give us 'cultural satisfaction'. Some may say the film industry is different from the game industry in genre. However, we have no difficulty in finding many common characteristics between them since we are living in the world where any content or genre cannot stand alone and contents' boundaries diversify themselves to meet consumers' demand in daily basis. The purpose of this study is to look into the impact of the film industry on the game industry and to show how these different industries can coexist successfully by creating a synergy effect.

Population-level learning has traditionally been used to provide an explanation for the underlying mechanism of industry change. But it has yet to examine the impact on strategic decisions such as market entry. This conceptual paper aims to provide an insight into how population-level learning affects entry likelihood by acting as a tool for interpreting population-level changes. We study this in the context of the fast-paced mobile gaming industry where population-level information is salient and develop a set of propositions with regard to the likelihood of entry.
