The MOBA game is updated every year with a new season, the new season update brings fun to the game users and also makes them feel unfamiliar with the new gameplay. In order to let game users better adapt to the new season, this study will extract the new season balance evaluation factors. Firstly, we used one-on-one review to collect the unbalanced factors that game users had encountered at the beginning of the new season of the MOBA game, and secondly, we organized the collected review data into a questionnaire and conducted a survey. The first step of the experiment was to filter out the lower factors through exploratory factor analysis and extract the balance evaluation factors of the MOBA game new season. The second step of the experiment was to examine the correlation between the factors through confirmatory factor analysis, as well as to confirm the appropriateness and explanatory value of the factors. The analysis resulted in "Game character experience", "Game view's expression", "Game level", and "Composition of the game setting" are the four factors. Finally, through correlation analysis, the most relevant factor for game satisfaction is the "Game character experience", and each factor is correlated with each other.

This article combines literature and empirical research based on space perception theory and the case study of mixed reality game "The Fragment." It is concluded that the mixed reality scene under space perception has a three-level visual definition. This definition carries out a corresponding level analysis of the scenes of the "The Fragment" game and draws up the constituent factors of the mixed reality game scene characteristics. Finally, through questionnaire data investigation and analysis, it is verified that the three factors of virtual reality coexistence, human-computer interaction, and local serviceability can better explain the characteristics of mixed reality game scenes. At the end of the study, it is concluded that the definition of three levels of visual hierarchy and the constituent factors of mixed reality game scenes can provide reference and help for other mixed-reality game designs and a brief description of future research plans.

In recent years, the rapid development of VR technology has secured its significant position in the gaming industry. This paper selects the PC and VR versions of Resident Evil 4 as the research objects, aiming to compare the similarities and differences between these two platforms. Through this comparative study, it is evident that the PC version of the game offers most players an excellent gaming control experience through precise and flexible operations. On the other hand, the VR version not only achieves immersive gameplay through virtual reality technology but also delivers more impressive visual effects to players. However, in comparison to the traditional PC version, the VR version incurs higher development costs, necessitating the production team to invest more resources to optimize the gaming experience and strike a better balance between immersion and playability. In conclusion, this study provides a valuable reference for game developers, assisting them in meeting the diverse needs of player groups and enhancing game playability and user satisfaction.

지금의 게임 시장은 Stand Alone형식의 컴퓨터 게임을 디스켓이나 CD와 같은 미디어를 판매함으로써 수익을 창출하는 것과는 달리 온라인 게임화 되어 사용자들이 얼마나 오랜 시간 동안 게임을 이용하였는가에 의해 수익을 창출한다. 다시 말해 온라인 게임 수익의 증가는 게임 이용자의 이용 시간 증가에 의해 결정된다[1]. 따라서 게임업계의 이윤은 바로 유저들의 게임을 이용한 시간 즉, 얼마나 게임에 대한 지속성을 최대화 한다면 이윤은 극대화 될 것이다. 그러면 이러한 게임의 지속성은 어떤 요소에 의하여 정해지는 것일까? 이 질문에 대한 답을 알 수 있다면 온라인 게임에서의 이윤추구는 더욱 쉬워질 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 온라인 게임의 총체적인 구성 중에서 게임을 구성하고 있는 색이 게임을 사용하는데 있어서 지속성을 가져다주는 중요한 요인이라는 주장을 입증하고자 한다. 이러한 주장을 입증하기 위한 근거로써 게임과 색의 기본적인 개념 파악 및 색이 우리에게 미치는 영향 등 이론 조사를 하였다. 다음으로 이미 발표된 논문을 인용하여 몰입과 사용시간, 색과 사용시간에 대하여 분석하고 마지막으로 사례분석을 통해 색채가 온라인 게임의 지속성에 영향이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a Situation Simulation Framework for implementing computer game and describes the possibility of analyzing game with unfolding situation. In last few years game systems have been evolving from the performance of physical engine, network traffic in the on line game to the representation of rendering physical phenomena. In computer game, a situation hierarchy structure which allows the designer for simulating high-level specifications of game structure. Logically simulated environment is created by defining situations and events based on hierarchy structure of the situation. We classify events into explicit event is occurred by user and implicit event is occurred by system. Our study defines the existence of objects is the most prevalent factor applied to any event in game world. The advantages of this approach are able to allow for providing the conceptual design for simulation game and analyzing the situation in the game world. And this method allows us to decrease the complexity of system design and abstraction modeling for the simulation game. Specially, the introduction of the definition of events allows us to approach game design in a structural manner rather than by their classification. The proposed method was implemented in the "Shooting BaDuk" among games.

Game interface can be described as a method for communicating the information of the game, and with increase in complexity of the game and the role of interface also becomes complex. MMORPG of the present has a greater capacity than the RPG of the past, and because there are many information game users need to know such as uniqueness of the character, maturation system, beginning users who encounter MMORPG for the first time have difficulties in grasping the concept and the information of the game. Therefore, an interface design that assists theusers in understanding and adjusting to the game is needed. For the purpose of this dissertation, a study was conducted for an MMORPG screen layout design that enables quick understanding of game information for the inexperienced younger game users.

Recent development in game technologies has offered various game environments, but the existing games have not provided realistically felt game environments because the element of the game is virtually generated in most of the games. Therefore, we propose a mixed game environment based on spatial augmented reality by using a creature that really exists. In the proposed game environment, tracking based on camera images created in real-time enables the provision of information about the real creature that is both still and moving. The game environment is presented with virtual object by using the coordinate of a real creature. Then, spatial augmented reality technology is applied for mixing a real creature and virtual game elements. Thus, the game scene is displayed by the spatial augmented reality technique based on the real-time coordinate of real creatures. Moreover, by providing the realistic game environment based on the spatial augmented reality, our system can be applied to various game contents that are actually felt as real. Most importantly, our system arouses the players' interest in a new kind of game environment.
