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 purpose of this study is to analyze how auto-combat function in mobile RPG satisfies player's desires. The auto-combat is classified into two types-complete and partial- by timing of activation and degree of control. With elicited aspects of play, players' desires are examined based on Lacan's Desire Theory. A player employing partial auto-combat desires to master higher stages with perfect or flawless control, and one's 'object petit a' is to be the difficulty of the stages. On the other hand, a player applying the complete auto-combat demands to fully comprehend the rules of the game and to attain the rewards of completed stage to build more competent characters. Once a player acquires the desirable object, one recognizes the illusion of one's achievement and seeks for new objects. In this succession, auto-combat function is utilized as an active action of willingness for fulfilling one's desire.

본 논문은 루비(Ruby) 언어를 바탕으로 만들어진 게임 제작 도구 RPG Maker VX Ace를 이용하여 제작한 방탈출 게임의 구현 논문이다. RPG Maker VX Ace는 기존의 게임 개발 도구나 게임 엔진과는 다르게 낮은 진입장벽으로 비전문가들도 원활히 게임을 제작할 수 있도록 하는 환경을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 비전문가들도 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 게임 제작 도구를 이용하여 RPG게임 시장에 접근성을 높이고 게임의 다양성을 확대하여 IT강국인 한국의 게임 시장 경쟁력을 강화할 수 있는 방안에 대해 고찰한다. 또한 RPG Maker VX Ace를 이용한 방탈출 게임의 프로토타입 개발 사례에 대해 분석함으로써 게임의 프로그램 구성을 제시하며 다른 RPG게임들과 차별화된 특징을 제시함으로써 게임이 상용화되었을 때의 기대효과에 대해 다루고 있다.
