The aim of this paper is to find out semiotic interpretation in digital gameplay and define layers of meaning which is provided by a game designer and a player. The primary author of the digital game is a game designer; however, to accomplish the whole meaning of the digital game, there must be a player's action. In digital games, the game designer leads to player's action and the player progresses the game at her desire. During the gameplay, each of the intention clashes and coincides through the semiotic interpretation. It can be classified under five sections that represent the game designer, the player and the game text.

The game is in progress according to the game story with the text, graphic, animation, motion picture, music, etc. Also the result of the game varies depending on the strategy and tactics of the player. For the development of the game, this paper describes the task of the game planner, game programmer, and game graphic designer. Game graphic designers are classified into 4 parts such as the art director, original picture designer, 2D designer, and 3D designer. Among these, the 3D designer makes the 3D game characters with the use of 3D tools. This paper presents the method that 3D designers and beginners can develop 3D characters easily and quickly, Also, this paper shows the method for making preparations of SourceModel which includes 150 polygons. The SourceModel is made up of between five life size and eight life size. In addition, Character Primitives Interface is made to use SourceModel in MaxScript. Accordingly 3D designers have the free use of SourceModel and they will be able to save time.

In the initial stage, domestic games based online concentrated on game development focusing on income for some genres. However, various contents focusing on smart environment and social network are expanded at present and game materials are developed for more various objects. So, this study intends to examine new category, positive game, from the aspect of game designer for game approach based on various objects. And, game approaching process in the category based on pleasure was organized from the standpoint of designer, for the designer approach in the precedent stage of positive game development. From the aspect of designer, systemicity of game category and design approach are necessary to expand wire-wireless environment and new environment based on the convergence media to interactive contents focusing on games.

The big difference of game scenario writers from ordinary scenario writers is the creativity of interactive game element. Game scenario writers should complete scenario form before making conti of game production, develop new item that is the essence of game and be able to write mulit-scenario for diverse story developments. Also, he should have the ability to advise on effective arrangement for sound effect to game designer.

Game software planning is divided into initial game software planning and detailed game software planning. Technique, design, marketing should be considered in initial game software planning. Especially, technical considerations, platform and game engine and sewer construction and sewer architecture should have effect on development cost and time. So, game software designer should choose technical consideration which is suitable for purpose of game software planning. In this paper, we researched technical considerations in initial game software planning, focusing on platform, game engine, game service, network infrastructure.

A game designer is the initial design of the quest based on narrative. It is important that to predict game character of play experience to establish these static content. This paper deal with player's affective interaction distinguishing among game characters are perform quest-play based on their characteristic status. To achieve this, First of all, previous studies regarding pre-visualization of narrative structure for other visual media are reviewed. Secondly, it is specified that quest-play experience and player's cognitive behavior. At last, these features of status by character were pre-visualized with QUG(Quest Unit Graph), which could be represented differences in precess of quest-play through analysis on world of warcarft game. Previous research is about of numerical balance in terms of character's achievement, whereas this study is meaningful that is proposed that visual model of quest-play interaction focused on narrative structure to predict game designer's architecture of quest experience.

Recently, there is a growing consideration that game authoring tools can play an important role in producing 3D games. In this paper, we introduce our 3D game authoring tool. The tool consists of a map editor, a sound editor, a game data exporter/previewer, and a special effect editor. This tool can help a game designer Produce game data such as game maps, sound effects, and special effects, and so on. In this paper, we implemented a prototype game content to verify the effectiveness of the developed authoring tool.

Various tools and studies improving quality of gamification systems have been suggested. Among those tools and studies, Butler suggested the gamification framework, which shows the preference of different game mechanics, applying particular motivational and behavioral tendencies in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI). The purpose of this paper is to validate if the preference of different game mechanics by MBTI personality types proposed by Butler would be existing. This study pointed out the problem of suggested gamification framework from butler through literature survey. Also, this study conducted statistical analyzation and survey to prove correlation between MBTI personality types and game mechanics. Through an experiment and analysis, this study proved that there is no correlation between MBTI personality types and preference of different game mechanics. The designer of gamification systems should consider that it is not effective to apply differential game mechanics by MBTI personality types. If need to design a gamification system, designer must consider game mechanics's characteristics in applied environmental condition.

The success or failure of the Korean game industry is a key issue for the creation of competent and talented human resources for the production of competent contents. The purpose of this study is to elucidate how to characterize and educate human - friendly game graphic designers with global competitiveness. The success of multi-disciplinary education will be maximized when cooperation with the responsible professors, the active will of the professor, the educational vision of the school, and real-time and active administration are supported In this study, based on the analysis of demand and supply of the human resources in the game industry, we found out that the game industry requires specialized manpower of technology-friendly game graphic designer who has the creativity, practical. application ability, and the international competency. In addition, we suggested ways of linking the curriculum with the local industries and related organizations such that they could be well educated as experts in related fields.

In the stealth game design, level designers are to develop many interesting game environments with a variety of difficulties. J. Tremblay and his co-authors developed a Unity-based level design tool to help and automate this process. Given a map, if the designer inputs several game factors such as guard paths and velocities, their vision, and the player's initial and goal positions, then the tool visualizes simulation results including (clustered) possible paths a player could take to avoid detection. Thus with the help of this tool, the designer can ensure in realtime if the current game factors result in the intended difficulties and players paths, and if necessary adjust the factors. In this note, we present our improvement on this tool in two aspects. First, we integrate a function that if the designer inputs some vertices in the map, then the tool systematically generates and suggests interesting guard paths containing these vertices of various difficulties, which enhances its convenience and usefulness as a tool. Second, we replace the collision-detection function and the RRT-based (player) path generation function, by our new collision-check function and a Delaunay roadmap-based path generation function, which remarkably improves the simulation process in time-efficiency.
