Analysis of Players' Moral Self-View in Game Situations Requiring Moral Judgement
Author: Hyunyoung, Oh
Abstract: The study aims to understand the player's moral judgement and what kind of moral self-view they experience through the game. We conduct a case analysis of the game <This War of Mine>. We found that the game mechanisms can influence the moral thinking of the player. The players' reaction can be divided into 4 themes: play experience description, moral judgement criteria recognition, connection with reality, and experience sharing. Through the results, we suggest directions for future research about players' moral reflection experiences.

A Proposal of Gesture-based Input Method for VR Rhythm Game
Author: Jae Hoon, Moon
Abstract: This study suggests a new input method that separates spatial condition and activation of input which can be performed individually, similar to mouse cursor and input activation, and compare it with spatial collision based input. The purpose of this study is to find out the difference between spatial collision based input method that moves toward the target and integrated click and gesture-based input method. The experiment results showed the input method with spatial condition and activation integration was superior in usability and rhythm experience.

A Study of Serious Game Design for Enhancing Intention of Individual Donors to Donate to Non-Profit Organizations
Author: Min Seok, Do
Abstract: A lack of awareness about the significance and ways of donating to Non-Profit Organizations is an ongoing issue in the Republic of Korea. To help address this issue, a prototype of a serious game was developed. 'The Helper' is a prototype that was designed specifically for enhancing the intention of individual donors to donate to Non-Profit organizations. The results showed that social interaction rewards are more effective for players with greater donation capability, suggesting that virtual rewards through serious games can be used to enhance donation intention.
