This paper explores the use of machine learning in game production to create goal-oriented, realistic animations for skeleton monsters. The purpose of this research is to enhance realism by implementing intelligent movements in monsters within game development. To achieve this, we designed and implemented a learning model for skeleton monsters using reinforcement learning algorithms. During the machine learning process, various reward conditions were established, including the monster's speed, direction, leg movements, and goal contact. The use of configurable joints introduced physical constraints. The experimental method validated performance through seven statistical graphs generated using machine learning methods. The results demonstrated that the developed model allows skeleton monsters to move to their target points efficiently and with natural animation. This paper has implemented a method for creating game monster animations using machine learning, which can be applied in various gaming environments in the future. The year 2024 is expected to bring expanded innovation in the gaming industry. Currently, advancements in technology such as virtual reality, AI, and cloud computing are redefining the sector, providing new experiences and various opportunities. Innovative content optimized for this period is needed to offer new gaming experiences. A high level of interaction and realism, along with the immersion and fun it induces, must be established as the foundation for the environment in which these can be implemented. Recent advancements in AI technology are significantly impacting the gaming industry. By applying many elements necessary for game development, AI can efficiently optimize the game production environment. Through this research, We demonstrate that the application of machine learning to Unity and game engines in game development can contribute to creating more dynamic and realistic game environments. To ensure that VR gaming does not end as a mere craze, we propose new methods in this study to enhance realism and immersion, thereby increasing enjoyment for continuous user engagement.

There are Monsters for game player in computer game. The Monsters generated by steady methods and data. And There are few methods that can be adapted to environment or player. This paper introduces a reformed Genetic Algorithm for Monster generation. This algorithm is applied to Homologous Chromosomes(HC). In existing GAs, An Individual have only one genome. But, In proposed algorithm, each Individual has a pair of allele genes on each locus. To compare proposed algorithm with Simple Genetic algorithm, I simulated the solution of a simple Binary problem. After experiments, I conclude that the suggested Algorithm reduced the number of generations more than SGA.

본 논문은 유니티 엔진을 이용하여 3인칭 육성 게임을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다. 본 개발 게임에서는 인간족과 오크족으로 나누고, 인간족은 오크족에게 오크족은 인간족에게 대응하기 위해서 자신의 능력을 키우는 것을 기본 배경 시나리오로 계획하였다. 두 종족의 선택에 맞는 스토리 형식의 퀘스트(Quest)로 중립 몬스터를 격파하여, 이를 능력치로 키울 수 있게 하였다. 본 개발 논문에서는 스토리성 퀘스트를 기본으로 하고 있기 때문에 플레이어가 몰입 하기 쉬운 좋은 조건을 장점으로 하고 있다.

In order for the game industry to grasp the initiative of the global industry, it is time to positively need storytelling that can move the emotions of gamers over graphical appearance. Also, in the era of the 4th industrial revolution where the point of contact between virtual and reality spreads widely, it seems that the game character industry will rapidly emerge. Therefore, the author recognizes the importance of the character industry in the future, and based on the accumulated game research, he has identified 10 elements necessary for character storytelling. The ten elements are as follows. Design of life, design of race, design of occupation, design of PC and NPC, design of monster, design of personality, design of conflict, design of protagonist, design of external image, design of birth and death.

This research aims to analyze gamer's behavior pattern on 'Blade for Kakao' RPG genre based on smart-phone. Three subjects were recruited using the concurrent protocol method to conduct ten episodes in region 1. As a result, it derived four behavior patterns according to the combination of space type affordance and the arrangement affordance of obstacle(monster). The result of this research revealed the forward attack arranged for the fixed obstacles in the wide space, the indirect attack as avoid-type arranged for scattered obstacles in the same space, the hunting up attack once arranged for the crowded obstacles in the same space, and the pulling attack arranged for obstacles in the narrow space. Moreover, it revealed the character growth and the optimization of attack method according to the attribute affordance of the obstacle(monster). This research expect to offer the design guideline for game level design to investigate the relationship between the game play and affordance in RPG genre based on smart-phone.

The maps in the world of the role playing games provide not only areas for motions and actions of player characters, but also worlds of totally included monsters and NPC(Non Player Character). However, the design of maps and monsters in them could not be tested for their balances until the games had been developed quite a bit. So they need additional expense of extension period of developments. In this paper, we have designed and developed a map simulator to expect the popularities of the maps in the early stage of the game planning in order to prevent inefficient concentration of users on some maps by expecting the popularities of the maps in the early stage of game planning and by setting the parameters of monster arrangements in the map.

This study analyzes MMORPG in user's desire perspective and tried to find specific motivation factors. In research result, character has been separated in user character, another user character, boss monster and support character. And character's factor analysis yielded three factors: visual attraction, psychological propensity and competence. The result of the regression analysis about character's motivation factor show that it is significantly different that motivation level and motivation factors from each character. This finding implies that specific motivation factors can serve to make strategy for motivate user's game playing.

Classic game Pac-Man (Pacman) is playing a game using a somple hand gasture without using a keyboard or a mouse. In other words, it is a joystick game by motion to replace the arrow keys using the center coordinates of the hand. In addition, the pointer of hand is extracted by accepting images to MFC dialog using cam. Thus, movements of the monsters is to be replaced by hand movements. In this paper, smoothing, expansion, and erosion operation for the skin color extraction, and RGB images are converted to YCbCbr images.

In this study, we aim to design an action game that increases the user experience. In order to increase the immersion of the game, the characteristics of the game used by the user were analyzed, and the systemic and visual characteristics of the game were designed with reference to each characteristic. The proposed method uses Unity 3D to implement an interaction system between objects in the game and is designed in a way that allows users to immerse themselves in the game. To induce immersion through the visual elements of the game, 2D objects and players are placed in a 3D space, and a 2D dynamic light shader is added. It is composed of inter-combat rules and monster behavior pattern collision detection and event detection. The proposed method contained the user experience with the implementation thesis, and showed the game's possibility of leading the user's affordance.
