디지털 게임의 등장이후 하드웨어 발전과 더불어 게임의 핵심 요소인 캐릭터는 인체비례론을 바탕으로 유저들이 선호하는 등신비율의 유형으로 변화하고 있다. 등신비율의 변화에 따른 게임에서 캐릭터의 독특한 이미지로 게이머들에게 인기가 많다. 현재까지 등신비율에 대한 연구는 아직 미흡하다고 사료된다. 본 연구는 게임캐릭터 개발에 있어 조형요소로서 인체비례가 가지는 중요성을 근간으로, 게임캐릭터들의 특성을 고찰하고, 게임캐릭터의 등신비율을 분류, 그 결과를 분석하는 연구방법을 통하여, 등신비율의 현황을 살펴보고, 앞으로 게임이미지에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구해보고자 한다. 분석한 다섯 가지 유형의 게임캐릭터는 독특한 이미지와 함께, 특성화된 등신비율일수록 유저들이 선호하며, 조형적으로 실제 인체보다 과장된 등신비율이 주를 이루는 것으로 분석되었다. 그래픽 배경화면에서 캐릭터가 상대적으로 작아 보이는 비례의 어려움을 조금 과장된 캐릭터를 활용하여 가시성을 높였다. 이 연구를 통해 게임캐릭터의 등신비율은 게임개발에 있어 게임이미지로서 매우 중요한 요소로 사료된다.

GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) creates highly sophisticated counterfeit products by learning real images or text and inferring commonalities. Therefore, it can be useful in fields that require the creation of large-scale images or graphics. In this paper, we implement GAN-based game character creation AI that can dramatically reduce illustration design work costs by providing expansion and automation of game character image creation. This is very efficient in game development as it allows mass production of various character images at low cost.

오늘날에는 신체의 시각적 표현이 다양한 범주에서 보여 지고 있고, 컴퓨터 환경이야말로 개별적인 신체의 환경을 뛰어 넘는 커뮤니케이션의 새로운 형태라 말할 수 있다. 사이버 공간에서 몸의 상호 작용의 한 분야로서 게임에서, 캐릭터의 존재와 역할로 커뮤니케이션이 이루어 질 때, 각 캐릭터의 이상적인 신체 표현은 현실을 뛰어 넘는 극적인 아름다움을 표현 한다. 본 논문에서는 미술작품에 나타난 몸의 이미지 표현 방법과 변화과정을 분석하여, 이상적 인간형의 게임캐릭터 창작에 활용할 수 있는 방법을 모색하여 보았다. 캐릭터 제작 기술의 진보는 이미 한계에 이르렀지만, 그리이스시대 이래 현재까지 확립되어 온 신체비 례에 현대적이면서 미래적인 해석을 가미하여, 개성적이고 아름다운 캐릭터 전형을 창조함에 있어서, 이상적 몸의 이미지를 갖춘 캐릭터 창작방법의 바탕을 제시하였다.

The third-person side view game perspective of side-scrolling games makes playing such games a completely different gaming experience from other traditional games. Nowadays, many game elements are combined with each other, and horror and puzzle elements are often combined to appear in side-scrolling games, bringing players a unique gaming experience. In such games, players seem to be watching their own manipulation of characters. The performance is the same as a stage play, so how to let players better experience such a horror and puzzle-solving stage play through the design of the characters is a key point. However, it is often difficult to accurately classify only from game elements, so first of all, the author will explain the game division of the side scrolling horror puzzle game. After that, this article will analyze the character designs in the three works with high sales and good reputation on Steam, and then draw conclusions.
