Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an 8-week competitive exercise program on physical fitness, psychological variables, and video-game playtime in game-addicted adolescents. Methods: All subjects were screened by a game behavior diagnosis scale questionnaire, and a total of 7 game-addicted, male adolescents ($16{\pm}2$ yrs of age) participated in the study. All subjects were informed of the study's purpose, procedures, and risks, and a consent form was obtained from each subject. The 8-week soccer and basketball exercise program included twice-weekly sessions of 120 minutes per session. All data were presented as $mean{\pm}SE$, and the variables were analyzed with a paired t-test. Results: Following the 8-week intervention, cardiovascular endurance and grip strength were significantly increased (approximately 17 and 7%, respectively [p<0.05]). Although there was no statistical significance on flexibility, vertical jump, and zigzag-run, all variables showed an increasing tendency. Anxiety levels changed from a mild anxiety state to a normal state, and depression levels also altered from moderate to a normal state. The video-game playtime was reduced about 20% during weekends and vacation periods. Conclusion: Given these combined results, 8 weeks of regular participation in competitive exercise (soccer/basketball) may contribute to positive effects on physical fitness, psychological variables, and video-game playtime in computer-game addicted adolescents.

This research attempts to analyze brand placement in game. Brand placement, being acclaimed as a new beneficiary model in game industry, is raising important mean of advertising. For development of game industry, the interdisciplinary study between game and advertising is indispensible. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find creative types of brand placement in game for illuminating how advertising works in game contents. The results showed three types of brand placement in game. They are contextual type, prominent type and independent type. Contextual type is one where the brand is present within the game contents without being formally expressed: it plays a passive role. Prominent type is one where the brand is present within the game contents with being formally expressed: it plays an active role. Independent type is one where the brand is present within the game contents with being formally expressed but it is not related with the program: it plays an additional role. The research showed, among these three types, a prominent type is becoming mainstream of brand placement in game. In other words, the prominent type of brand placement is the most effective beneficial alternative in game industry.

Purpose Research purpose is extraction of the factors affecting game flow and satisfaction in mobile game. Design/methodology/approach In mobile game, the factors affecting game flow were classified into three parts: mobile game platform characteristics, user cognition characteristics, and user individual characteristics through previous studies for existing online game and mobile game. In the research we extracted the factors as follows: the connectivity, usability, network speed, pleasure, service quality, relatedness, proficiency, self-fulfillment, early adopter tendency, and competitive spirit. Using the factors, we established research model and tested hypotheses empirically. This survey was conducted five months targeting from teenagers to fifties with mobile game experience. The questionnaire items were reconstructed according to the questionnaires of the present study or those newly developed by the game experts and total 56 items in the literature of Internet game, smartphone game, and mobile game based on the existing literature study respectively. Findings According to the analysis result, this study showed that ease of use, enjoyment, self - fulfillment and competitive spirit had a significant influence on user flow and also that service quality, proficiency and competitive spirit had a significant influence on user satisfaction in mobile games.

기능성게임은 단순히 재미를 즐기기 위한 수단이 아닌 교육, 의료, 홍보, 경영 등 다양한 분야에서 특별한 목적을 의도로 개발되어 활용된다. 이러한 기능성게임은 일반적인 게임이 가지는 게임성과 함께 특별한 목적에 부합하는 효과성을 가지고 있어야 한다. 하지만, 게임성과 효과성을 모두 나타내는 것은 어려운 일이다. 본 연구는 기능성게임의 게임성과 효과성을 살펴보고 우수한 기능성 게임의 모델을 찾는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 실험에서는 상용화되어 서비스중인 몇몇 기능성게임과 일반게임의 게임성과 효과성을 살펴보았고, 의미 있는 결과를 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the stress level and HPA axis activity of an internet game addiction group and non-addiction group in adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was performed with 140 male high school students from 9 vocational high schools at W city. Data were collected from July to September, 2012, using a questionnaire for measuring internet game addiction and stress level, blood samples for serum ACTH, and cortisol level for HPA axis activity. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, $X^2$-test, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient with SPSS/WIN 15.0. Results: The stress level of the internet game addicted group was significantly higher than that of the non-addicted group (p<.001). The serum cortisol level was also significantly higher in the internet game addicted group than in the non-addicted group (p<.026). The serum ACTH level was higher in the internet game addicted group more than in the non-addicted group (p<.072). Conclusion: These results showed that internet game addiction could increase stress level and HPA axis activity in high school adolescents. Thus, a nursing approach to prevent and relieve internet game addiction should be initiated to stabilize the HPA axis of internet game addicted adolescents.

This study suggests efficient production of game with spine tool that is 2D game tool. For this, the researcher studies process and efficiency of game development by focusing on production of a game "Shooting Monster" Version 1 in service of Google Store at present. Production tools in a contents field are sharply changed. In addition, these tools are automatized into new version and efficient product. These tools help manufacturers in increasing quality of contents and time efficiency. Therefore, the researcher examines understanding of development process of existing 2D game and problems in development stage of graphic character, and analyzes production stage of character animation using spine tool, so suggests effective process of production in terms of production.

본 연구는 대학 내에서 게임 학과의 그래픽 교육과 컴퓨터 그래픽 관련 학과의 그래픽 교육에서 차별화 된 교육 개발이 무엇인가를 알아보고, 게임 학과의 그래픽 교육을 개선하기 위함이다. 게임 그래픽 전공자에게 일반적인 핸드드로잉 교육과 컴퓨터 그래픽의 공통기초는 디자이너의 소양을 갖추는데 무척 중요한 과목이지만, 기본 소양 교육 이후에는 게임 그래픽 제작과정을 이해하고, 그래픽 데이터를 제작할 수 있는 수업이 필요하며, 이것이 곧 게임 학과 그래픽전공 고유의 정체성이 될 것이다. 이를 위한 교육법으로, 게임엔진 상에서 게임 데이터를 직접 로딩하여 게임 데이터의 오류 점과 개선사항을 찾을 수 있는 방법을 제시하는 것이 가장 이상적이다. 그러나 대학의 여건상 게임엔진의 구매나 엔진분석이 쉽게 해결될 수 있는 성질의 것은 아니다. 이에, 3D 게임 엔진을 교육적인 목적으로 대치할 수 있는 VRML97을 대안 법으로 제시하여 이를 통해 얻을 수 있는 교육 효과를 기술하였다. 향후 본 연구에 사용한 VRML97의 게임엔진 대치 법은 활발한 연구와 게임 개발 현장의 검증을 거쳐 보다 효과적인 학습모델을 찾을 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

대학의 게임제작교육은 게임교육 과정의 완성단계이며 게임 산업의 미래를 결정하기 때문에 매우 중요하다. 그러므로 다양한 제작 경험과 창작학습을 수행하기 위해서 현재 게임 산업의 진행 방향과 정보통신의 나아갈 방향을 미리 예단하여 게임제작에 필요한 정보를 습득 재가공하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구는 게임 그래픽 디자이너 지망생을 위한 게임엔진 교육의 효율적 방안에 초점을 맞추었다. 이들을 대상으로 게임 엔진 기반의 제작 수업을 진행하여 실무 중심의 게임 제작 능력을 가능하게 하는 방법론을 제시하는 것이다. 게임제작 수업 시간에 그래픽 지향의 학생이 가상의 게임을 기획하고 결과물을 그래픽 작업만으로 제한하는 것이 아니라 그래픽 데이터를 검증하고 보완점을 찾아 완성도 높은 기획과 그래픽 능력을 갖추는 것을 말한다. 그러나 게임 프로그래머의 도움 없이는 불가능한 작업이기에 게임 엔진 교육의 중요성이 대두된다. 연구 내용에는 국내 게임 교육기관의 애로사항을 파악하고 그래픽 디자이너 중심의 편한 환경을 제공하는 게임엔진인 유니티3D(Unity3D)와 프로그래머 중심의 토크(Torque) 엔진을 기반으로 게임엔진을 활용한 제작 사례를 제시한다. 또한 본 연구의 목적과 학습 효율을 알아보기 위해 제작 이후 설문방식을 통해 게임 엔진의 활용이 게임 그래픽 교육에 효율성이 있는지 알아본다. 이를 통해 게임프로그래밍 비전공자들의 경우 기획서 작성에만 머물고 실제의 게임제작 구현이 불가능했던 수업을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

현재 국내에서는 교육적인 목적과 재미가 융합된 교육용 기능성 게임이 출시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 공개 엔진인 오우거 엔진을 이용한 역사 교육용 게임을 제안하고 이를 개발한다. 개발 방법에는 개발 환경, 기획 목적, 게임 시나리오, 게임 인터페이스, 물리엔진과 연동하는 방법 등이 포함된다. 제안된 게임은 역사를 바탕으로 한 미션을 수행하는 방법으로 진행된다. 제안 게임의 차별성은 기존 역사 게임에서의 단순 재미를 벗어나 역사적인 사건을 퀘스트로 설정하여 실지 역사를 배우는데 있다. 본 논문은 역사 교육용 기능성 게임의 차별화와 오우거 엔진을 이용하여 역사 교육용 기능성 게임을 제작하려는 개발자에게 도움이 된다.
