Transmedial Expansion of a Game Character through Fan Art

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper presents the process of the adaption of transmedia storytelling to the reinterpretive expansion case of Diablo 3’s ‘Treasure Goblin’ to the ‘Treasure Guardian’ for the Blizzardfest Challenge entry. The focus of the transmedial expansion is placed on the participation of amateur fans who can provide with enormous number of possibilities in expanding the original story. The main body of the discussion includes the targeted character’s background stories and the expansion process with focus on the character’s appearance, place, and role. The process of the visual transformation, and the expansion of its individual storyline are referred to as a significant procedure of transmedia storytelling.
