Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze visual environmental elements of game space by play-event in adventure games. We extracted common six types of play-event through exploring ten representative adventure games and organized three types of space structure and four types of object as the criteria of analysis. Based on the criteria, we embodied the characteristics of visual environmental elements by performing direct playing and monitoring. As a result, we verified that the story intended and the gameplay induced by the play-event are closely related to visual environmental elements.

본 논문은 어드벤처 게임에서 플레이이벤트별 게임공간의 시각적 환경요소를 분석하였다. 대표적인 어드벤처 게임 10종에서 공통 플레이이벤트 6종을 추출하고, 공간구조 3유형과 오브젝트 4유형을 분석기준으로 설정하였다. 이를 바탕으로 직접플레이 및 모니터링을 수행하여 시각적 환경요소의 특징을 구체화 하였다. 그 결과, 플레이이벤트에서 의도하는 스토리와 유도하는 게임플레이는 시각적 환경요소와 밀접한 연관성이 있음을 확인하였다.
