Abstract

From the perspective that RPG games give players a sense of reality, the characterization of game characters can be said to be at the heart of design behavior. The personality of a unique character enhances the player's concern and commitment, allowing players to experience a variety of experiences. Through theoretical research and case analysis, this paper analyzes the expression of individuality in RPG game character design. In the RPG game, the way to express the character's individuality is first based on the game's time-space background, plot, task, etc. to inform the character's general gender, race, occupation, and skills. In line with the application and use of the characters, the roles will be developed in a concrete and rich way, and the shapes, movements, colors, costumes and weapons will be more refined. The purpose of this study is to obtain the main factors that influence RPG character's personality design from the viewpoint of perceptual design theory. In addition, it is proposed that the RPG game character personality design method should be adopted.

RPG 게임에서 게임 플레이어에게 리얼리티를 준다는 측면에서 게임캐릭터의 개성 표현은 디자인 행위의 핵심의 하나라고 할 수 있다. 독특한 캐릭터의 개성이 플레이어의 관심과 몰입감을 높여 다양한 체험을 할 수 있도록 한다. 이론적 연구와 사례 분석을 통해 RPG게임 캐릭터 디자인에서의 개성 있는 표현 방식을 분석해봤다. RPG 게임에서 캐릭터의 개성을 표현하는 방식은 우선 게임의 시공간적 배경과 줄거리, 미션에 따라 캐릭터의 대략적인 성별, 인종, 직업, 기능 등 기본적인 정보를 제시한다. 그리고 캐릭터의 응용과 활용에 맞춰 구체적이고 풍성하게 캐릭터를 성장시키면서 체형, 움직임, 색채, 의상, 무기류 등을 더욱 정교하게 그려낸다. 이 연구는 감성적 디자인 이론의 관점에서 RPG게임 캐릭터의 개성 설계에 영향을 미치는 주요 요소를 획득하는 데 목적이 있다. 이에 의해 감성적인 디자인의 RPG게임 캐릭터 개성 디자인 방법을 제안한다.
