Space Syntax를 이용한 FPS게임 맵의 공간구조분석 및 평가

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Virtual space is a fabricated space created by computer and it does not have a physical entity. Not only can it be perceived and experienced like a real space, but it makes people immersed even more deeply in it than the real world. It is because of the drastic improvement in the computer performance and the explosive increase in the number of social participants, to which the expansion of the games market has contributed greatly. In recent years, the number of participants is increasing due to the creation of virtual space using three dimensional graphic engines and networks. Therefore, the structure of virtual space, the background of a game, is a very important element that determines whether a game will be fun or not. An interesting game space should not be simple and it should be fair to everyone. Further, the experience of space should be uniform throughout the map. However, as the shapes and sizes of unit space in the virtual space of a game are too diverse and interrelated in a complicated way, it is difficult to analyze the whole structure of a game. This study presents a visual graph analysis that organizes space into a graph and analyzes its visual depth. The analyses are applied to Unreal Tournament 2004, a leading FPS game, to examine the integration and intelligibility of the space.
