Abstract

Nowadays, game development of new genres continues through convergence among existing genres, and the games of this hybrid-genre are gaining popularity around the world. Following this trend, it is meaningful to analyze the characteristic contents of the existing genre for more effective genre fusion. In this paper, in the genre of survival game, a genre of digital game, we would like to select a representative survival game for analysis of survival content, which is a key goal and core of the game, to identify common and differentiated features. For this purpose, we have studied game mechanics and game dynamic components around the contents of the survival game, based on the MDA framework.

요즘 기존 장르 간의 융합을 통해 새로운 장르의 게임 개발이 계속되고 있으며, 이처럼 새롭게 융합된 장르의 게임이 세계적으로 인기를 끌고 있다. 이러한 추세에 따라 보다 효과적인 장르 융합을 위하여 기존 장르들의 특징적인 콘텐츠를 분석하는 것은 의미 있는 일이라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 게임의 한 장르인 생존 게임 장르에서, 게임의 주요 목표이자 핵심이 되는 생존 콘텐츠에 대한 분석을 위해 대표적인 생존 게임을 선정하여 공통점과 차별화된 특징들을 알아보고자 한다. 분석 기법으로는 MDA 프레임워크를 이용하여 생존 게임의 콘텐츠를 중심으로 게임 메커닉과 게임 다이내믹 구성 요소에 관하여 살펴보았다.
