Abstract

This research focuses on the role of visual grammar in online three-dimension
games (MMORPGs). The three-dimension games are a new convergent media form, and it
has strongly influenced the real and virtual world among the young generation. The research
aims to investigate and develop a new theoretical framework of visual language and
therefore analyzes the elements of visual design in online three-dimension games. Of
course, there are some theoretical frameworks which have been applied to existing media,
such as media studies. These have been used to analyze printed media, images, arts,
television, film, advertisements, etc., but they still study a common media which concerns a
communication process. Multimodal analysis is seemingly to go further than other theories,
but it is a broad extensive tools and not sufficient to deeply analyze the designed elements
and other effects in online three-dimension games. Online games are a newly emerging
media which constitute a new cultural form, game culture; and it needs more specifically
developed analytical tools. Therefore, we need to extend the existing frameworks to
understand, make sense of interpret three-dimension online games.
