The last few years have been a boom time for the online gaming industry. Internet-based online games have made an increasingly popular form of entertainment. The gaming industry estimates that online gaming players reach over 26 million in 2002. The rapid development of online game-contents and related information technology shall increase the size of industry and have a profound impact on many ways of our living and sociaty. This paper develops the exploratory LISREL model for identifying the factors attecting the players' loyalty for some specific brand of online games. The concept of flow, word of mouth, feedback, challenge, social norms, and online community activities, etc, are all introduced into the model, as the independent variables affecting the loyalty directly and indirectly. Based on data collected from online questionnaire survey, the validity of the model has been tested and interesting conclusions have been developed concerning the relationships between the loyalty, flow, word of mouth and other set of independent vareables. It is hoped that this result might provide the useful guidelines for developing the successful online game contents.

Due to the improving mobile environments, we can play RPG in not only computer online field but also mobile field. It is difference from hardware environment between them so that mobile RPG has been changed and modified to play in mobile environment except RPG's frame and basic element. This Study has investigated the model to evaluate the balance of battle that is based on the RPG. Although there is an assessment model studied with a focus on the MMORPG, It is difficult to apply to the entire balance in RPG especially mobile RPG. Former model has used only basic element because there were so many kinds of variables such as user's controls, other players and objects in game. The reason why that model just gave a guide line about battle balance. In this paper, the new assessment model to include the balance factors such as BUFF, NURF and PASSIVE could be possible for applying the balance of mobile RPG on recent trends. As a result, the new model can measure numerical calculations compared to the previous model.

J.E.N(Joint Enjoyment Network) is the ubiquitous UCC play contents system that provides amusements off-line by utilizing the UCC that people are able to participate in. It is also the entertainment service system that is devised to use contents that could be enjoyed through the cell phone and to make people participate in production, in cases of meeting people off-line during their pastime. The development of this system begins from pointing out the problem of the limitation of the UCC that does participate in production but the produced contents could only be watched, and the UCC only works on-line. The goal of researching this ubiquitous UCC play contents is to suggest the UCC entertainment service system that are available off-line by applying the interactive system to UCC and, by this, to obtain the positive responses about the off-line participating UCC contents. In this research, it chooses scenario and 테스크 performance as the method of deriving the participating UCC from the off-line, and it suggests the ubiquitous UCC play contents system through analyzing the behaviors in each off-line place. Moreover, by developing the prototype that could practically perform the system, it verifies the potentialities of the UCC entertainment service. The anticipation of this study is to make people participate and enjoy not only in production, but also in the contents made. This research will provide the modern people who concern about where to go and what to do with the amusements and will also present a way of new form of contents mixed with UCC and the entertainment service.

There has been more increased the development of 3D technique since many 3D contents of 3D graphic model, 3D mobile/computer game, and 3D CAD have been serviced in Web or industry fields. Therefore, the watermarking system is more required to protect the copyright for 3D contents. Currently there has been researched about the watermarking for 3D graphic model of mesh or NURBS. However, watermarking technique based on CAD design drawing leaves something to be desired yet. This paper proposed the watermarking technique for 3D CAD design drawing using Line and Arc components. After drawing out Line and Arc components from designed drawing, we embed the watermark into both the length of Line component and the radius of Arc component. Experimental results verified that the proposed algorithm satisfies the transparency about watermarked drawing and also has the robustness against several attacks by using public CAD tool.

If game images use colors improper for certain ages, the characteristics of games disappear, and the efficiency of image expression drops. thus a study in color is very important. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research on this subject. In this study, we investigated the difference of color of game images according to users. User group is divided into all users and users over 18 years old. Among the rank of games,10 each from games for all ages and games for non-teen-rated are selected, and the game-playing images are taken as snapshots to have 100 each images each, A total of 2000 images were extracted and the mean values of RGB and HSB of each game were obtained and independent sample t test was performed. The results showed that the RGB color values between the two users were significantly significant. In the future, it is expected that it will be helpful in color selection when developing psychotherapy games and emotional games using color psychology. Furthermore, we will use color image scales to express colors as adjectives, analyze colors in a variety of ways, and investigate the difference in color of game images in each country.

This study mainly focused on horror movies and horror games. Camera angles of horror movies and compositions of horror games are main factors that can cause fear in people's minds. Through analyzing four kinds of factors, including sensual, expectant, restrictive and executive fear elements, in horror games, and combining with the patterns of camera angles and film techniques that Alfred Hitchcock applied in his horror movies, this research investigated certain types of compositions and concluded ones that were more effective on growing fear in players' minds and enhancing their involvement. In conclusion, only the combination of factors in horror-game compositions, like diagonal composition, dual-diagonal composition and inverse triangle-line composition, with visual elements enables player's growing sense of fear and the increase in involvement. Therefore, future works should apply more of these fear-inducing compositions.

This study investigated an evolutionary process of In-game Animation and researched on the action of realization establishing virtual reality. In-game Animation, functioning as contents to visualize games, is responsible for conveying information to achieve goals of games. In-game Animation which is affected by graphic technology was initiated with setting up indicators by dot and line. Followed by the development of technology, In-game Animation has pursued realization, after passing through processes of iconography, materialization, and dimensionalization. The realization of In-game Animation does not simply imitate the real world but creates meaning of reality by establishing space with various factors such as characters and background along with the story, under the premise of virtuality. The realization of In-game Animation is very important to provide the experience of immersion, as it forms a sense of presence through such visual tactility. The process to create meaning of reality provides gamers with experiences, and leads them to expand senses through visual perception and finally absorb the virtuality as reality. Therefore, the image of In-game Animation does not simply imitate the real world but creates meaning of reality by establishing space with various factors such as characters and background along with the story, under the premise of virtuality. The realization of In-game Animation is not limited to blindly portray a realistic image. In addition, the process of realization pursued by In-game Animation is an action to immerse in the game rather than a mere product of technological development.
