I used Google to look for some of these processes and I didn't find anything suspicious, but maybe you can find more.
Anyway, it could also be, that your password was weak and it got cracked or you didn't log out or some other more likely scenario.
Do you let any other person use your Mac account?

I don't let anyone use my accounts.

Can others use your Mac (with another account)?
If not, how could a keylogger get installed in the first place, unless you did it.
Just change your password to that game to a stronger one and maybe even rotate it monthly or even weekly if it happens more often.

You can't get a keylogger on your Mac unless you install it yourself, or give someone access to your Mac so they can install it. If it's an online game, it's possible someone hacked your password, which would have nothing to do with your Mac. If it's an app on your Mac, have you recently applied any updates to that app, that might have reset some settings to default values?

Don't be so bashful about what the game is, some of them are notorious for getting hacked, there was a thread about one of them recently.

In any case, if its merely that some settings of the game were changed, what is more likely? (a) issue with the game or your understanding of it, (b) someone installed a keylogger and then instead of spamming your address book entries, cleaning out your bank account, going on a spending spree with Amazon, they changed a few game settings ?
