This study is about projection methods in computer games that support graphic user interface. Most of previous studies were case studies on or aesthetic approaches to a specific projection method. We investigated projection methods observed in computer games according to the chronicle of games, and studied changes in the methods and their future direction. Furthermore, we examined the emotional and productive aspects of various projection methods, and found that projection methods in computer games are being developed in accordance with graphic designers' job difficulty and computer processing capacity. Project, which determines contents consumers' view, is a very important factor to be decided at the planning stage of contents development. In this sense, we expect the results of this study to make a contribution to relevant areas.

This paper analyzed the dialogue language of 'Maple Story' NPC from the perspective of learned optimism. Not only is NPC's language a key skill in artificial intelligence language, it also plays a big role in giving game users fun and desire to achieve. In this paper, as a result of analyzing the dialogue language of NPCs by utilizing the two key dimensions of NPC's learned optimistic explanation form: permanence and pervasiveness, the rate of characters' conversations using optimistic languages was 6%~7%.

The purpose of this study is to identify how game players experience games artistically. We organized indicator categories related to artistic experiences in games through play report produced in participatory player workshop. Based on this indicator, we embodied the artistic meaning of game experience by performing semantic network analysis. As a result, we verified that games can offer opportunities for players to reflect on themselves and their lives.

'I-Ching Storytelling Web-Cartoon Game' suggested by Prof. Shim and Research Group may provide users with the opportunity of writing story based on I-Ching. I-Ching is the cosmological thoughts intrinsic to East Asian culture. In the perspective of the narratology, I-Ching can bee seen as a kind of database of narratives since it classifies all events emerging from the meet between the actor(human-人) and the background(time/space-天地) as the story material into 384 narrative elements(sequence) and 64 themes(motive), and consistently constructs their causal relationships. So while trying to articulate I-ching with the digital storytelling methodology, we developed the web-cartoon game. With this game, users can creatively make their own story as a play by freely interpreting, retrieving, and recomposing those 386 narrative elements and 64 themes with the I-ching's narrative guideline.

This study discusses how players make the mutually cooperative mechanism in Social Games. In SNG, many players exchange helps each other. That mechanism is not only one-off but also repetitive process. In the perspective of reciprocity in Evolutionary psychology and Mythology, this study analyzes mutual cooperation in several game texts most well known in the SNG field. According to the field study results, four cooperative mechanisms were extracted. These 4 principles apply to every digital game design for emerging of cooperative storytelling among players.

The game industry using Smart phones and related market is rapidly growing every year and a graphical view of the game fun and games player is in a diverse environment improvement. Game visuals in the design of the application of the user's perspective, very simple tricks, unlike such as the game's environment is pc, but more sophisticated and to improve the quality of the game, planning is required. Ranking the top rankings, game downloads this study, therefore, has recently structured questionnaire based on the case in existing research conducted a survey. The surveyed more than 200 million people downloaded the Onmyoji game users in China was limited to the preferences of each gui survey analyzed. Preference shown in graphic identify success factors should be improved to lighting of the basic elements of design / ux ui and applications should be taken into account when designing the game. A Study on Design Factors for research purposes. The results verification the importance of visual elements, information elements, manipulation, and rapid response.

MMORPG users can create their own identity that they will use to act through in the virtual world utilizing the avatar creation system. The MMORPG customization process, divided into the creation and transformation stages, provides a sandbox for the identity play by users. In this study, analysis of the users' customization attitudes using the Q methodology especially in the transformation stage was conducted. The users' attitudes were found to be categorized into 4 types: 1) fulfilling attitude, 2) customization immersed attitude, 3) customization challenging attitude, and 4) community oriented attitude. Of particular interest are the immersed customization type, where the attitude is driven by the internal motivation of "self-satisfaction" unlike the fulfillment and community oriented attitudes which are driven by instrumental motivation of the avatar, and the continuous desire towards transformation revealed by the challenging customization attitude. This study provides valuable insight in the design perspective for developers in instilling critical immersion elements to the users while preparing to update the level.

The research studies the classic beer game simulation model from a new perspective. It does so by providing each agent with two ordering policies, and creating a set of rules that allow an agent to change its policy. Such a change is triggered based on an agent's confidence in their own performance, and on the relative confidence of their nearest neighbour. The overall effect is that policy diffusion can occur, where, under certain circumstances, an agent will mimic the behaviour of its neighbour, if it believes that its neighbour is performing better. The motivation behind this research is to provide an experimental base upon which the decision making strategies of business agent can be studied.

Online games are very popular among adolescents in Korea. They sometimes lead to cyber delinquency. An ethnographic analysis was conducted in this study to address the social significance of online games. The results showed that the adolescents who were addicted to or indulged in the games were likely to commit delinquency online and/or offline. Delinquency in an information society is typically individualistic, whereas deviant behaviors in an industrial society are more social and collective, such as group violence. Parenting style, student-teacher relationship, peer pressure, game environment, and recreational facilities for the adolescents were intertwined with such adolescent delinquency. Finally, some implications of the online games from the perspective of social welfare practice were discussed to prevent online game indulgence and addiction and adolescent delinquency.
