The purpose of our research is to identify the critical variables and to develop a new methodology for market segmentation of online game market. Our research tested the model with Korean online game users because Korean online game industry is the frontier of global online game industries. Conclusively, the critical variables are the suitability of feedback, the reality of design, the precision of information and the involvement of virtual community. The analysis of segmentation shows that the primary target audiences are positively influenced by the reality of design and the involvement of virtual community. To attract the primary target audiences, online game companies should develop strategies depending on the effectiveness of the variables and the demographic and behavioral characteristics of target audiences.

The constructivism is an important stream of the recent trends of mathematics education. In order for students to construct their knowledge for themselves, above all, it should be a prerequisite that they participate in actively, Using games helps students to participate in learning mathematics actively. I think, up to now, mathematics teachers use games mainly for motivation and it does not connect to true learning mathematics through using games. So, the purposes of this study are developing the mathematical games connecting to mathematical contents closely, designing the teaching models to connect game activities to learning mathematics, and developing several teaching plans using games to mathematics class. In this study, I propose what conditions 'good' game should have, classify games as practice game, concept learning game, and strategy game, and develop 43 games from 1 to 6 grade. And I design the teaching models depending on the game types and develop the teaching plans.

Along with the development of mobile technology, mobile game has undergone a change from downloadable game to network game, where a large number of users connect to server and play real-time game with a mobile phone. In order to develop these mobile network games economically, a proper, suitable game engine is needed. This study proposes the result of design and implementation of RWMMO-GE(Realtime Wireless Massively Multiplayer Online RPG Game Engine) that is used to develop a mobile network game. The structure of RWMMO-GE, which is the research result of this study, consists of major components such as Network/Client Module, Object Module, Map Tool, Script Editor, and Character Editor. The characteristics of the multiplayer mobile game developed by this engine is that a large number of players can play real-time game in a single map, which implies a possibility of a new business model in this area. This research is a result of the RWMMO-GE supported by 2006 IT Excellent Technology Support Project(No:A1300-0601-0125) of IITA(Institute Information Technology Advancement).

In this paper, we propose a game server using public network library ACE, which has been developed in various fields for a long time. ACE network library has been considered not only in the area of high efficient real-time communication library but also in the area of application development, and it provides various facilities. We logically reorganized the part, which is necessary to develop games, among various functions of ACE and optimized it, and developed real battlenet server using verify the reorganized library. As the method of experiment, the battlenet server and test client were set and interface request test and data electrical transmission test were conducted. As the result of the experiment, the conclusion that it is possible to develop games by using ACE, which is verified network library, has been obtained.

The abolition of WIPI installation duty makes domestic WIPI developers get a chance to enter into smartphone development environment. Specially, iPhone has a big possibility for a new game application market but traditional domestic WIPI developers have difficulties to get in because there are no standard game development methodology. Therefore, a method is necessary to develop iPhone game application effectively for traditional domestic WIPI developers. In this paper, we compare and analyze development methodology of WIPI and iPhone application and suggest a new methodology for iPhone application development with adaptation of WIPI architectures. Using this methodology, traditional domestic WIPI developers can develop iPhone game applications with ease.

In this paper, we study and develop content for a puzzle game that can be enjoyed lightly with appropriate rules us ing Chilgyo-Nori blocks and Tetris blocks. We plan and develop puzzle games with low entry barriers and high revisit rates from the perspective of client indie game developers who are away from mass-produced games that additionally r equire specific items in a specific game section by focusing on the commercialization of game contents. The implement ed game promotes the creativity of users based on the possibility of creating more 2D designs than the existing Chilgy o-nori by using the Tetris block and the Chilgyo-nori block at the same time.

Purpose: The measure the degree of computer game addiction; to examine the relationship between computer game addiction and contributing factors; and to discover the predictors of computer game addiction of elementary school children of Korea. Method: Data were assembled from questionnaires distributed among 455 children from four elementary schools in Gyung-buk Province. Result: The level of computer game addiction of subjects was rather low, and correlated significantly with gender, academic performance, family economic status, playmates for leisure time, place of playing computer game, length of the habit of playing game, average playing time of game per day, frequency of PC-room(Internet Cafe for game) visits per week, game partners and reasons for playing game. Multiple regression analysis showed that 45％ of the computer game addiction was significantly related to gender(21％), impulsiveness(10％), average playing time of game per day(9％), depression(2％) and other variables(3％) such as playmates for leisure time, academic performance and frequency of PC-room visits per week. Conclusion: We suggest these results be used to develop a computer game addiction prevention program.

The theme is the core of the work in all media including the games. In order to develop successful games, it must effectively express the game theme. In order to express the game theme, it must be able to understand and to utilize the characteristics of the game theme. This Study extracted 11 characteristics of the game theme through the precedent literature research and found 4 core characteristics of the game theme through interviews with 11 experts. This Study conducted a survey about 4 core characteristics of the game theme in Final Fantasy X of Japan and Skyrim of USA. As a result, degree of an expression about 4 core characteristics of the game theme received high-rated in common(3.45~4.59 / 5). It may become guidelines for the theme studies in the other games. I will contribute to develop successful games through understanding and utilizing the 4 core characteristics of the game theme.

The game market has not only grown in size of the 10 trillion won but also the form and function of game use. Serious game combines the educational purpose and the fun of the game and develops it so that contents such as national defense. In this study, we analyze the cases of five application areas for the activation of serious games, and develop factors that the serious game should have, we want to see what the characteristics are and how important it is. The results of analysis show that it was analyzed that most serious games of application field were developed as 'experiential games' such as education, learning, experience, and simulation. This means that it is very effective to develop a serious game in consideration of the characteristics that a potential user should prefer a sensible game as well as a clear goal of a serious game in game development.

Computer game has become the core part of multimedia and entertainment in our knowledge and information based society We are competitive in developing 2D games. However, we have difficulties in maintaining the competitive edge in the area of 3D game technologies owing to the limited funds and technologies. Game engines are very useful to develop high-quality 3D games. In this paper, we discuss game engines and development of contents, and also present a development case of 3D games using Dream3D.
