The market of the smartphone game has been changed rapidly which can be seen in the online PC game, ‘SNG’ and became popular among the game lovers. In the same way, ‘Kakaotalk’ has also been appeared suddenly. Therefore, in this research work, we figured out the exploratory factors that affect the intention of use of smartphone users and these effects can help future works on games to those who are doing research on it. In our research method, we reviewed the preceding related researches about the intension of use of smartphone users. Based on these researches, we have extracted factors for suggesting research model and then verified the hypothesis with actual analysis to find out which factors are affecting the intention of use of smartphone game users. The factor and reliability analysis have done in order to examine the validity and reliability of the questionnaires used in this work. As the result, popular genre, character, sequence of hit etc. are affected positively on intention of use of smartphone game users but there are no meaningful effects of game developers. Due to such research, it can be helped to the related game developing academic and industries researchers on intention of use of smartphone games users.

This Study has analyzed the trends of flow studies in the domestic game field. First, the flow studies in the domestic game field are mainly from economics, business administration, journalism and broadcasting and so on. Second, the content of studies is biased toward the use of games. Third, the definition of the flow concept is divided into the following two methods. The one is the method of describing user's flow condition and the other is the method of describing antecedents and consequence of flow. Fourth, technology acceptance model is mostly introduced as a theory associated with flow. The loyalty is mostly presented as a dependent variable of positive results of flow experience. Our study analyzed former studies on flow theory which is useful to research user's immersion and continuous use of games. We expect that the results of the study will be useful data for domestic game industry, research and so on.

2000년대에 비약적으로 성장하게 되는 IT산업으로 인하여 고부가가치산업으로 주목받던 게임 산업계에서는 게임관련 제작인력의 수요가 급격히 증가하였다. 하지만, 게임산업의 기반이 되는 IT산업에서는 유동적인 인력공급능력을 충분히 갖추고 있었기에, 게임관련학과 출신의 산업인력들이 진출 할 수 있는 분야의 폭이 다소 줄어들게 되었다. 이러한 문제점은 무엇보다도 인력을 직·간접적으로 양성해내는 교육과정의 체계화가 다소 불안정한 모습을 보이는 것이주요 배경이 될 수가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점에 노출되어 있는 국내 게임산업의 인력 양성 환경에 있어서 정규적인 교육정책의 부재에 따른 정책 발달체계 개발의 필요성 및 타당성에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

국내 게임 산업은 많은 발전을 하였다. 게임 산업내 여러 분야는 많은 발전을 하였지만 학계의 발전은 느리게 이루어지고 있다. 그 이유는 응용적 학문에만 초점을 맞춘 학문 발전을 기하려 하였기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기초이론의 중요성을 강조하고 게임의 의미를 보다 체계적으로 정립시키고자 한다.

So far, most of online games has been produced from their scratch.
