Game scenarios are playing more important role as much as games are getting more sophisticated and expanded in their applications. However, general-purpose tools for production of game scenarios are still not developed. There are similar tools for the production of films or dramas and simple tools for the development of UCG. However, analysis about them shows that they are not suitable for the production of game scenarios. In this paper, we are to develop game scenario authoring tool called 'UMa' suitable for game production and easy to use. UMa is composed of synopsis entry, quest entry, DB entry, communication, display, and control component. Since UMa provides templates to make synopsis, quest, and DB, users can produce them very easily. Especially, characters and items DB are stored independently so that they may be reused to the production of scenarios for follow-up or another game. Using UMa, users can write game scenarios more easily and quickly and cooperate with each other at the same time by Web.

Along with the development of mobile technology, mobile game has undergone a change from downloadable game to network game, where a large number of users connect to server and play real-time game with a mobile phone. In order to develop these mobile network games economically, a proper, suitable game engine is needed. This study proposes the result of design and implementation of RWMMO-GE(Realtime Wireless Massively Multiplayer Online RPG Game Engine) that is used to develop a mobile network game. The structure of RWMMO-GE, which is the research result of this study, consists of major components such as Network/Client Module, Object Module, Map Tool, Script Editor, and Character Editor. The characteristics of the multiplayer mobile game developed by this engine is that a large number of players can play real-time game in a single map, which implies a possibility of a new business model in this area. This research is a result of the RWMMO-GE supported by 2006 IT Excellent Technology Support Project(No:A1300-0601-0125) of IITA(Institute Information Technology Advancement).

For the activation and wide distribution of User Created Contents (UCC) sites have diversified user-created possibilities. Among these contents, User Created Game (UCG) sites are places where users can create and share their game contents with others. The method of UCG development can be classified into two categories according to the uses' level of professionalism. First, the method of using the authoring tools is suggested for those unfamiliar with the development or creation of contents. Although the authoring tool is easy to use, there are many functional limitations. Second, development using program languages is suggested for trained advanced users but has the limitation of a prolonged development period. This paper proposes a new method, generating the script which will expand the current functional limitations entailed behind the authoring tools used by first time and less trained users. In order to verify the proposed method in a real UCG development environment, a framework encompassing GUI, script generating function and program source generating function were constructed.

With the rise of the game industry, the importance of the game's storytelling is also increasing. Delivering a specific world view of a game has a tremendous effect on the immersion of the game, so the method of delivering a story needs to be studied continuously. In this study, the character was implemented using 3D modelling tool, and the initial story of the game was delivered through a dialogue window using a game engine. Through the research, we were able to establish a workflow for telling stories using a character and understand each process in depth, which we expect to be the basis for more sophisticated game character development and smooth storytelling in the future.

The purpose of this study is to implement game content within the generative artificial intelligence module Chat-GPTs, grounded in the humanistic discourse of self-reflection. This content aims to empower the dignity of the silver generation, which has been marginalized by digital technology. Simultaneously, we intend to prototype a digital psychotherapeutic tool. The development of a flexible device that adapts to the silver generation's living environment and temporal constraints is also part of our plan. However, there are still few commercially available products, and digital therapeutics developed in the form of content are virtually nonexistent. The goal is to implement game content that allows the elderly, who have been marginalized by digital technology, to find their true dignity. Simultaneously, we plan to commercialize a prototype of digital psychotherapy that can flexibly adapt to the range of living environments and time constraints of the elderly. This study has been extended based on the game content 'Daily Run' created by Hyein Kwon, an undergraduate student at Kyungil University.

Recently, there has been much research to improve immersiveness and learning achievement using the edutainment that combines learning with game. However, from the viewpoint of instructors, there has been little research to solve technical difficulties and to reduce the authoring time in tailoring a game-type learning content. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an authoring tool, which enable instructors to tailor game-type learning contents reflecting their own preferences in spite of no backgrounds of technical skills. The authoring tool proposed has key features to hide authoring handicaps and reduce authoring time by providing the overall template for customized game-type learning contents based on template concept. To evaluate the effectiveness of the authoring tool, we applied it to teachers and elementary school students. From the evaluation, the result represented that instructors can make their own learning contents without being aware of technical problems within a short time. Also, the result showed that the learning achievement degree and immersive depth of students have been significantly improved.

Ad(advertisement) is a gateway that makes the public recognize enterprises, and a tool that can maximize customers' interest. How this kind of Ad is delivered to consumers governs an enterprise's image or goods' reliability. That's why enterprises spend much money in advertising their products in various ways such as TV Ad, newspaper Ad, magazine Ad, placards and so on Accordingly, this study intends to look at Game Ad among a number of Ads, which enables game users to enjoy games at low expense and at the same time makes them naturally recognize enterprises images or product PR.

The process of game development is contained of many steps that is hard to forecast success or failure. In order to develop successful game, the development period should be shorter, which could reduce development cost. In order to reduce development period and cost, it is needed to make a communication among planners, programmers, graphic designers and investors lively with a prototype as a communication tool. In this study, the concrete examples are demonstrated how to use prototypes as a tool for communication and feedback of team members, in the process of game development. This paper explains the characteristics of various types of prototypes according to types of game contents. This paper demonstrated two types of prototype according to development stage, one type is a prototype to gather feedback in the planning stage, the other is a prototype to make team members cooperate and communicate in the stage of production stage.

This paper presents a semi-autonomous authoring method which can intuitively create 3D game/ animation contents for unexperienced users. In particular, this method considers their convenience to provide them with easier authoring environments. The 3D game/animation contents created by this method consist of several scene components connected to each other in a logical flow structure. Thus, it is possible to easily understand the overview of 3D content description for its production and manipulate these scene components for efficient management. Four different genres of game/animation contents have been developed by using an authoring tool based on this method. According to results of a survey intended for game developers who created game contents with the authoring tool, this method is shown to save contents development cost/time as well as raise the efficiency and convenience of whole process of contents creation to the expected level.

It is important matter to develop game that language should consider improving game development environment. It is hardly any language that is designed to develop a game. Most developer used general purpose programming language in these situations, and directly modeling with engine. For this reasons, developers cannot easily develop games and must programming on engine level. It is hard to develop a game in this environment that was not able to understand an engine well. Moreover, developer and planner want to use an abstracted high-level language on planner phase and are going to easily develop a game. It was not have communication tool between developer and planner. Therefore, we defined a script language for modeling based on abstract engine level. In addition, we did build IDE to develop game using abstracted high-level language. It was able to develop a game on high-speed development environment. Therefore, developer does not must develop with engine phase but can develop a game with planners. In addition, game planner and developer can use a communication tool because it is able to develop skeleton game.
