A Game Community Support System

This paper presents a new game community support system and shows an experimental prototype system, based on an Internet social network system. The experimental results show the validity of this system and confirm the support function. Although competition among game creators or candidates is usually severe, they can communicate comfortably and collaborate with each other, using this system. As the system has a support function for giving advice, finding friends, and encouraging them, they can also assist and collaborate by mutually supplementing their weak points. In this system, discussion or communication among community members is driven by a desire to improve the game, and community members can create and make new games easily.
