Studies on aesthetic experience in games mostly focus on engineering approach centered on structural determination of specific target within the game as well as humanistic·social approach in forms of artistic conversation on game play experience. This paper have established a theoretic guideline regarding the progress of aesthetic experience which allows analysis from the perspective of player experience acquired during game play. Based on such guideline, the study classifies cognitive data (Eye-Tracking, Playing Action, Facial Expression) on aesthetic experience and suggests the methods to measure such data. By deducing errors and points to be considered related to measuring methods through pilot tests, this study will contribute to the execution of empirical study focused on player perspective.

With the recent popularity of smartphones, many games are being developed on mobile-based platforms. As a result, it has brought about many changes in the way mobile game is developed. Especially mobile platforms, which are divided into Android and IOS, can now be applied to each platform without additional development through cross-platform. This means that it is necessary to move away from the method of developing each using separate development tools and implement the development process through cross-platform unique features. In this paper, we studied various methods to increase the productivity and quality of game development for the development of mobile games, and a formal framework considering the development process was developed. The framework consists of process, development domain, and platform support parts, each playing its own role. Items of the detailed framework must be reflected so that detailed response data for efficient application of game development can be established in actual mobile game development. The framework was developed by approaching it from two domains, the need for a framework and the framework implementation of key item response data.

For development of physical interactive game recognized as next generation game, this study examines the present situation of physical interactive games and analyzes the problem that game contents lack development compared to the hardware. This paper firstly divides the problem of physical interactive game contents into three parts: demand of the contents and biased game genre, low level of game difficulty, and limited use and/or misuse of the motion controller. Then, the possible solutions for each part are suggested afterward. As the discussion on the development methods in physical interactive game will also develop and therefore, as the next generation game, physical interactive game will play a positive role in th growth of game industry as well as game culture.

Online game industry is one of the most value added industry and continues to grow rapidly nowadays. This paper classifies the diffusion patterns of online games according to online game genre, estimates coefficients of innovation and imitation using Bass model, extracts the Bass-based adoption life cycle model which reflects the properties of each game, and then analyzes the diffusion pattern of each game. Through the research on the diffusion pattern of online games, if we can identify the characteristics of changing market and consumers in accordance with the product life cycle, we will provide the implications to the marketing strategy, which have to change at every stage of adoption life cycle, not to mention to investment plan.

In many parts of the world, the electric power industry is undergoing unprecedented changes. Therefore, in order to reform the electric power industry efficiently and minimize the confusion of this restructuring, the systematic studies related to transmission pricing and transmission cost allocation issues are required essentially. However, even now, the basis of transmission cost allocation rate is not equipped so that the regulation body has determined the allocating rate under the common practice. In this paper, we demonstrate that the decision of transmission cost allocation rate is the regulation body's own right. For this analysis, we apply game theory to the procedure determining this rate and the competition to determine this rate between gencos and distcos is modeled as the arbitration game.

Since This study is about game novel. I'm going to discuss the flow and features of game novels. Game novels developed in Korea, the game industry developed and made it possible. Fantasy novels, Muhyeop novels, and the generation of games met, so game novels could develop. By looking at the trends of game novels, I want to lay the foundation for the study of popular literature genre. The reason behind the emergence of game novels is the meeting of the game generation and the novel. The types of game novels can be distinguished according to the 'location of the main characters' and 'the narrative style'. It is not the best, but it is the minimum work to identify the genre. The biggest characteristic of game novels is their connection to games. It also uses the system of the real game. Another characteristic is that a variety of variations are possible with other genres. Game novels were influenced by fantasy novels and Muhyeop novels. Game novels now hold a solid place in the realm of popular literature. But the limits are also clear. It is the repeated use of game novel progression. Here are the limitations that game have to overcome. In addition, active research should be carried out. This study is intended to promote research on these game novel genres.
