This study analyzed changes in Korean online-game market from RPG to MOBA and FPS/TPS genre, based on Azuma Hiroki's database consumption theory. After selecting the representative game for each genre: World of Warcraft, League of Legends, and Overwatch, we analyzed the games' story, characters, progress, and simulacre produced by game users. The results of this study confirmed that changes in popular genre in the domestic online-game market proceed from consumers' verging toward database consumption. We also found that Korean game users prefer smaller stories and characters based on database, and that consumers have produced more rigorous simulacre than those in other cultural areas and re-databased it for next consumption. This study is the first to analyze changes in the domestic online-game market and adds a contribution to the literature in terms of incorporating Azuma Hiroki's consumption theory into the domestic game market.

The feature of digital media's interactivity made the traditional storytelling to be evolved into a new concept of digital storytelling. Unlike films or animations, games' storytelling takes open-ended design method; thus, it is possible to create unlimited number of stones within a game depending upon the decisions of player characters. In this paper, a character-centered game storytelling system of a highly story-based RPG genre will be reviewed, and, it analyzes case studies of how a character with various story values can interact with its background story, virtual game world, and many events in its game storytelling system. Game storytelling structure and game mechanics are related to each other very closely. Therefore, it is possible to control the player's overall movement as the character's story develops according to a predictable structure or situation.

Whether it is an online game or a stand alone game, research will ultimately never stop to increase the degree of realistic expression of visual effects. Recently, realistic characters are appearing in games. Particularly, due to the development of virtual reality technology, RPG games with simulation-based realistic images are becoming popular. The player can experience the story of the game in the game and experience difficulty level by level. As other players, teammates, or enemy characters appear as realistic characters, and the episode of the game expands, the importance of realistic game characters is growing so that they can play more. Adding a realistic game character to a game based on a classic movie character gives the player a more realistic and interesting visual experience. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of realistic character style on the fun and visual effects of games.

In this study, we analyzed behavioral patterns of the MMOPRG players and re-found design features of MMORPGs from the view points of MMO and RPG. We analyzed the relationship between design features of MMORPGs and flow experience. This study proposes the conceptual design method for MMORPGs based on the flow theory as well as various research results regarding to MMORPGs.

The development of games has brought about the birth of game characters that are visually very realistic. At present, one sees much enthusiasm for giving the characters emotions through such devices as avatars and emoticons. However, in a freely changing environment of games, the devices merely allow for the expression of the value derived from a first input rather than creating expressions of emotion that actively respond to their surroundings. As such, there are as of yet no displays of deep emotions among game characters. In light of this, the present article proposes the 'CROSS(Character Reaction on Specific Situation) Model AE Engine' for game characters in order to develop characters that will actively express action and emotion within the environment of the changing face of games. This is accomplished by classifying the emotional components applicable to game characters based on the OCC model, which is one of the most well known cognitive psychological models. Then, the situation of game playing analysis of the commercialized RPG game is systematized by ontology.

The social interest for collaborative teaming and educational game has been increased. In this paper, we investigated the educational value of collaborative teaming and game. Based on this investigation, we propose an educational on-line game model for collaborative teaming. Although the proposed model is still conceptual design, it sufficiently shows that on-line RPG game can be a good collaborative teaming method for young children. We will perform a comparison study on the teaming achievement between the two methods: 1) the on-line game proposed in this paper, 2) the conventional educational method performed in normal school.

게임산업은 21세기 정보화 사회의 문화 컨텐츠 산업의 한 분야이다. 멀티미디어, 3차원 그래픽, 3차원 음향, 가상 현실 분야, 캐릭터 산업 등과 맥락을 같이 하는 핵심 기술 집약 산업이며, 문화적 파급효과와 규모가 점점 커지고 있는 산업이다. 그러나 국내의 게임 개발 능력은 선진 미국이나 일본에 비하여 낙후되어 있다. 정책적으로 게임 개발 지원 사업이 행하여지고 있으나 게임 컨텐츠 영역보다는 인터넷 게임 혹은 3차원 그래픽 엔진 개발 등 게임 소프트웨어 엔진 개발에 치중되어 있는 것이 현실이다. 한편 미국 PC게임 시장에서 만 8세 이하의 아동용 게임 시장은 전체 게임 시장의 삼분의 일을 차지하는 거대 시장이다. 재미요소와 교육요소가 접목된 아동용 게임은 컨텐츠 위주의 산업으로 짧은 개발 기간에 고부가가치를 창출할 수 있는 산업이기 때문이다. 본 연구는 기존의 컴퓨터 게임에 관해 고찰하고, 아동의 연령별 특징에 적합한 게임요소의 추출과 새로운 게임 컨텐츠를 제안한다는 것을 목적으로 한다. 앙케이트 조사와 프로토콜 분석 및 연령별 성장기 특징의 문헌 조사를 통해 기존의 게임 장르에 추가하여 'Asports', 'Asim', 'U.J RPG', 'S+RPG'가 성장기별 아동 발달에 유익하다는 결론을 도출 할 수 있었다.

A dynamic graph is suitable for representing and managing dynamic changable obstacles or terrain information in 2D/3D games such as RPG and Strategy Simulation Games. We propose a dynamic hierarchical graph model with fixed level to perform a quick A* path finding. We divide a graph into subgraphs by using space classification and space model, and construct a hierarchical graph. And then we perform a quick path fading on the graph by using our dynamic graph operators. With our experiments we show that this graph model has efficient properties for finding path in a dynamic game environment.

The social interest for collaborative learning and educational game has been increased. In this paper, we investigates the educational value of collaborative learning and game. Based on this investigation, we propose an educational on-line game model for collaborative learning. Although the proposed model is still conceptual design, it sufficiently shows that on-line RPG game can be a good collaborative learning method for young children. In detail, we speculate about the conventional educational method performed in normal school. And then, we describes the elements of a computer game which complies with the real collaborative learning program.

Generally, a Learning Games made based on Off-line. But Today, Web based learning has been used for many educational system by aid of the development of internet technique. If Off-line learning game serviced by On-line learning game, can provide learner with interesting and growing learner's study will. In this paper, I design the Mathematical of Elementary school Roll playing game for learning based on On-line. This is matched the point of On-line game with the point of Learning. A Learner's mathematical technic will be improve by The Mathematical On-line Roll playing game for Elementary school student. A student's ability of self directed learning and solving problem is expended too.
