Abstract

With the spread of COVID-19 and restrictions on outdoor exercise, the number of users using motion sensing games indoors is increasing. An avatar-type character design customization system on behalf of gamers is one of the important research topics for developers in that it can increase the game's appeal to gamers. In this paper, a motion sensing game with high sales volume and character customization is selected as a game analysis case. Through the analysis of the character customization system of the three selected games, important elements of the customization system were extracted. Finally, the shortcomings of the motion sensing game character customization system were derived, and improvement plans were presented for the selection system, transformation system, and partial system. It is expected that this proposal will serve as a reference for designing a motion sensing game character customization system in the future.

코로나19의 확산과 함께 야외 운동이 제한되면서 실내에서 체감형 게임을 이용하는 이용자 수가 늘고 있다. 게이머를 대신하는 아바타 형식의 캐릭터 디자인 커스터마이징 시스템은 게이머에게 게임에 대한 매력을 높일 수 있다는 측면에서 개발자들에게 중요한 연구주제의 하나이다. 본 논문은 판매량이 많고 캐릭터 커스터마이징이 가능한 체감형 게임을 게임 분석 사례로 선택하였다. 선택된 세 개 게임의 캐릭터 커스터마이징 시스템 분석을 통해 커스터마이징 시스템의 중요한 요소를 추출하였다. 마지막으로 체감형 게임 캐릭터 커스터마이징 시스템의 단점을 도출하고 선택 시스템,변형 시스템,부분 시스템에 대해 개선안을 제시하였다. 이러한 제안이 향후 체감형 게임 캐릭터 커스터마이징 시스템 설계에 나름의 참고가 되기를 기대한다.
