  According to the present invention, it is possible to execute a complex operation during a battle at a realistic timing by a simple operation.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a video game processing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the video game processing apparatus 100 includes a game program reading unit 10, a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a display unit 14, an audio output unit 15, and a player operation reception unit 16.

  The game program reading unit 10 removably receives a game cartridge 20 containing a storage medium storing a game program. The game program reading unit 10 reads a necessary game program from the storage medium of the inserted game cartridge 20. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the video game program classified as RPG is stored in the storage medium built in the game cartridge 20.

  The control unit 11 has a function of executing the game program read by the game program reading device 10 and executing various controls for advancing the video game in accordance with the operation of the player.

  The display unit 14 is a display device that displays a game screen according to the progress of the game or the player operation in accordance with the control of the control unit 11. The display unit 14 is configured by a liquid crystal display device, for example.

  The sound output unit 15 outputs sound in accordance with the progress of the game and the player operation in accordance with the control of the control unit 11. The player operation accepting unit 16 accepts an operation signal corresponding to a player operation from a controller composed of a plurality of buttons, a mouse, and the like, and notifies the control unit 11 of the result.

  In the video game processing apparatus 100 of this example, a method of reading a game program from the game cartridge 20 is adopted. However, the video game processing apparatus 100 may be configured to download a game program wirelessly or by wire from a game server that distributes the game, for example.

  The storage unit 12 is a storage medium that stores a game program and various data necessary for a video game to proceed. The storage unit 12 is configured by a nonvolatile memory such as a RAM, for example. The storage unit 12 stores various types of information registered / updated as the game progresses, and various types of information used in the game read from the storage medium built in the game cartridge 20.

  In this example, the storage unit 12 stores a site-out action management table 12a, an enemy character management table 12b, and a BEAT system management table 12c. Each table 12a-12c will be described in detail later.

  Here, an outline of the site-out operation in the video game executed by the video game processing apparatus 100 of this example will be described. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a game screen for explaining an outline of the site-out operation. In this example, as shown in FIG. 2, a player character (character operated by the player) PC and an enemy character (character controlled according to the video game processing program) NPC are displayed on the game screen.

  In the video game of this example, the enemy character NPC and the player character PC battle in the battle field displayed on the game screen shown in FIG. The player plays the game by operating the player character PC with the controller to attack the enemy character NPC.

  In a battle scene, generally, when the player character PC is located within the field of view (for example, the front) of the enemy character NPC, the risk of being easily attacked by the enemy character NPC increases. In order to suppress the risk, it is preferable to move the enemy character NPC out of the field of view (side, back). However, it is difficult to get out of the field of view from the state captured by the enemy character NPC at the normal movement speed. Therefore, the site-out operation is used. “Site-out action” means that the player character PC is viewed from the enemy character NPC by, for example, an action in which the player character PC turns around behind the enemy character NPC while the player character PC is targeted by the enemy character NPC. It means the action of quickly leaving outside.

In order to perform the site-out operation, for example, the following conditions are imposed.
In the video game of this example, a preparation operation for the site-out operation by the player is required. When the player performs a site-out preparation operation, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a site-out operation preparation icon SO is displayed around the player character PC, and the site-out operation preparation state is set. When the site-out action preparation state is set, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the player character PC enters the recognition range (in the field of view) of the enemy character NPC (site-in icon SI is displayed). Therefore, the conditions for performing the site-out operation are ready. When the player character PC enters the recognition range (in view) of the enemy character NPC and the enemy character NPC enters the recognition range (in view) of the player character PC (mutual site-in state), It may be assumed that the conditions for performing the site-out operation are satisfied. Further, the site-out preparation operation may be accepted only when the enemy character NPC is in a state where the enemy character NPC is within the recognition range (in the field of view) of the player character PC. When the player performs a site-out operation in a state where the conditions for performing the site-out operation as described above are satisfied, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a site-out operation in which the player character PC turns around behind the enemy character NPC is performed. Executed. When the site-out operation is executed, the enemy character NPC loses sight of the player character PC, and the risk in battle is reduced.

  When the site-out operation is executed, as shown in FIG. 5, a site-off icon NI indicating that the enemy character NPC has lost sight of the player character PC is displayed in the vicinity of the enemy character NPC. The In the video game of this example, it is assumed that a plurality of types of site-out actions are associated with the distance between the player character PC and the enemy character NPC, and that the site-out action has a plurality of effects on the enemy character NPC. It is assumed that there are types.

Next, the operation of the video game processing apparatus 100 of this example will be described.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of site-out operation processing executed by the video game processing apparatus 100. Here, an operation using the controller by the player X of the player character PC on the display screen of the display unit 14 is accepted, and the player character PC positioned within the recognition range of the enemy character NPC is recognized in the site-out action process. A process for evacuating to a high speed (meaning that it is high speed compared to the moving speed by the moving operation of the controller, and the speed at which the enemy character is lost) is executed. Note that the contents of processing not related to the present invention may be omitted.

  In the site-out operation process, the control unit 11 first receives a preparation operation for the site-out operation by the player's operation via the player operation reception unit 16 (step S101). When the control unit 11 receives a preparation operation for the site-out operation (Y in step S101), the control unit 11 displays the state of the player character PC in the site-out operation management information registered in the site-out operation management table 12a. Change to the ready state. At this time, the control unit 11 displays the change in the state of the player character PC using the site-out preparation icon SO so as to be distinguishable from that before the change (see FIG. 2). The “preparation operation” is, for example, a pressing operation of a predetermined operation button provided in the controller. In addition, it may be necessary to continuously press the corresponding operation button to continue the site-out preparation state, or until the release operation is performed separately by pressing the corresponding operation button once. The site-out preparation state may be continued.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a storage state of site-out operation management information in the site-out operation management table 12a. As shown in FIG. 7, the site-out action management information includes the type of the site-out preparation state of the player character PC, information that can identify the enemy character that has entered the player character PC, and the player character PC that has performed the site-out action. This is information in which information that can identify the enemy character selected as the target is associated with the determination result of whether or not the site-out action is possible.

  In this example, it is assumed that there are “standby”, “for”, “preparation”, and “fatigue” in the site-out preparation state of the player character PC. “Standby” is a state before accepting a preparation operation for a site-out operation by a player. When the preparation operation is accepted, the state shifts from “standby” to “for” state. When a predetermined time elapses from the “for” state, the state becomes “prepared”. When the site-out preparation state of the player character PC is “preparation” and the site-in enemy character and the target enemy character are the same, “possible” is set as the site-out availability information, otherwise “no” is set. Is set. When a predetermined time elapses from the “preparation” state without executing the site-out operation, the state shifts to the “fatigue” state. Once the state shifts to the “fatigue” state, the player character PC becomes inoperable and the state is maintained for a certain period of time. In this example, even if the player character PC is attacked by the enemy character NPC even before the predetermined time has elapsed, the “for”, “preparation”, and “fatigue” states shift to the “standby” state. It is configured.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the player character PC has been attacked by the enemy character NPC or the player X has performed a site-out preparation state cancel operation (step S102). If there is no attack and the preparation state release operation is not performed (N in step S102), the process proceeds to step S103. When an attack is received or a preparation cancellation operation is performed (Y in step S102), the control unit 11 changes the site-out preparation state in the site-out operation management table 12a to “standby” and displays on the display unit 14 If the site-in icon is displayed on the screen, it is deleted (step S102a), and the site-out operation process is terminated.

  In step S103, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the player character PC is located within the recognition range of the enemy character NPC. Here, FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a storage state of enemy character management information in the enemy character management table 12b. As shown in FIG. 8, the enemy character management information includes the types of enemy characters NPC displayed on the game screen and the recognizable range of the player character PC on the game screen set for each enemy character type. This is information in which a field of view, presence / absence of a site out counter capability, which will be described later, and behavior pattern information are associated with each other. In this example, it is assumed that the field of view as the recognizable range of the player character PC of the enemy character is set with three-dimensional coordinates.

  When the control unit 11 determines that the player character PC is located within the field of view of the enemy character NPC (Y in step S103), the control unit 11 displays a site-in icon SI in the vicinity of the player character PC (step S104). As a condition for displaying the site-in icon SI, the control unit 11 may add that the enemy character NPC starts processing for attacking the player character PC.

  Next, the control unit 11 accepts a site-out operation (for example, an operation of tilting an analog stick provided in the controller in the moving direction) by the player (step S105). When receiving the site-out operation (Y in step S105), the control unit 11 deletes the site-in icon SI on the display screen of the display unit 14 (step S106), refers to the site-out operation management table 12a, and performs a site-out operation. If the availability information is “possible” (Y in step S107), the site-out operation is started (step S108). On the other hand, when the site-out availability information is “No”, the control unit 11 ends the site-out operation process. At this time, a process for causing the player character PC to perform an action other than the site-out action may be performed.

  In step S108, the control unit 11 determines the movement path of the player character PC in the site-out operation. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a method for determining the movement path of the player character PC on the display screen of the display unit 14. As shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 11 first determines position information of the destination DE of the corresponding site-out operation on the display screen of the display unit 14 (FIG. 9A). Next, the position information of the relay points RP1 to RP2 to the corresponding destination DE on the display screen of the display unit 14 is determined (FIG. 9B). Note that the coordinates indicating the position on the display screen of the display unit 14 of the destination DE and the relay points RP1 and RP2 may be set by a program or may be selected by the player.

  When determining the position information indicating the movement path of the sight-out action, the control unit 11 moves the player character PC along the movement path corresponding to the position information (step S109). At this time, a movement effect ME as shown in FIG. 9C may be displayed on the display screen of the display unit 14.

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the player character PC has arrived at the destination DE (step S110). If it is determined that the player character PC has not arrived at the destination (N in step S110), the player character PC displays It is determined whether or not the background on the display screen of the unit 14 or another character has been touched (step S110a). If it is determined that no contact has been made, the control unit 11 continues the site-out operation process (N in step S110). If it is determined that contact has been made (Y in step S110a) or if it is determined in step S110 that the vehicle has arrived at the destination (Y in step S110), the control unit 11 proceeds to step S111.

  The control unit 11 executes a process of displaying the movement end motion by the player character PC on the display screen of the display unit 14 (Step S111), and updates the enemy character management information stored in the enemy character management table 12b (Step S111). S112), the site-out operation process here ends.

  In this example, the site-in icon SI is displayed when the player character PC is positioned within the recognition range of the enemy character NPC, but other conditions may be used as a trigger. For example, the site-in icon SI may be displayed when the state of the enemy character NPC indicates an attack on the player character PC.

  Further, the type of site-out action may be changed depending on the distance between the player character PC and the enemy character NPC on the display screen of the display unit 14. For example, when the distance between the player character PC and the enemy character NPC is less than a predetermined distance, the above-described operation of turning around the enemy or the like is performed, and the distance between the player character PC and the enemy character NPC is a predetermined distance. In the case described above, the player character PC may perform an action of instantaneously moving outside the field of view as the recognition range of the enemy character NPC on either the left or right side of the enemy character NPC. In this case, for example, the type of sight-out action corresponding to the distance between the player character PC and the enemy character NPC is stored in the sight-out action management table 12a, and the control unit 11 refers to that to determine the player character PC. What is necessary is just to perform the process to move.

  Further, a plurality of enemy characters NPC may be displayed on the game screen. In this case, a situation where the player character PC is sited in from a plurality of enemy characters NPC is conceivable. In such a case, for example, the player can select which enemy character to perform the site-out action, or the player character PC is moved to a position outside the recognition range of all enemy characters by the program. For example, a plurality of types of site-out operations may be provided.

  Next, the enemy character NPC control process when the site-out action process is executed will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing enemy character control processing executed by the video game processing apparatus 100. In the enemy character control process, the control unit 11 first detects whether or not the player character PC is located within the vision set as the enemy character NPC (step S201).

  When the control unit 11 detects that the player character is located within the vision of the enemy character NPC, the control unit 11 changes the action information in the enemy character management information in the enemy character management table 12b (step S202), and changes the enemy information with the changed content. The motion control of the character NPC is executed (step S203). That is, the control unit 11 controls the enemy character NPC displayed on the display screen of the display unit 14 to attack the player character PC.

  Here, for example, an icon indicating the direction of the player character as the attack target is displayed in the vicinity of the enemy character NPC, and the icon is displayed in accordance with the height of the hate value indicating the attack priority of the enemy character NPC against the player character PC. You may make it the structure which changes an expression method so that identification is possible. In this case, for example, the hate value of the enemy character corresponding to the distance from the player character is stored in the enemy character management table 12b, and the control unit 11 performs processing for determining the icon expression method with reference to the hate value. You just have to do it.

  When the controller 11 detects the site-off action of the player character PC due to the player's operation (Y in step S204), the control unit 11 sets the state of the enemy character NPC to the site-off state (step S205). Until the site-out action is detected, the display control of the enemy character NPC is continued with the action setting changed in step S202.

  Here, the “site off state” in this example means a state in which the enemy character NPC loses sight of the player character PC due to the player character PC moving out of the field of view of the enemy character NPC due to the site out action. At this time, the control unit 11 sets the critical hit rate indicating the probability that the damage received by the enemy character NPC due to the attack of the player character PC is increased (becomes a critical hit) to the critical hit rate when the site off state is set in advance. Set. Here, it is assumed that the critical hit rate is predetermined and stored in the storage unit 12. The critical hit rate when the site is off is set to a high value of 100% or 90%, for example, and every time the player character PC hits the enemy character NPC until the site off state is canceled. It is good also as a structure which decreases. Further, when the type of the site-out action is changed according to the distance between the player character PC and the enemy character NPC on the display screen of the display unit 14, the type of the site-off state is determined according to the type of the site-out action. In addition, a plurality of configurations may be provided. In this case, for example, when the distance between the player character PC and the enemy character NPC on the display screen of the display unit 14 is equal to or larger than a predetermined distance, the critical hit rate is not set, and a process of displaying a site off motion described later is performed. You may comprise so that only.

  When the enemy character NPC is set to the site off state in step S205, the control unit 11 performs a process of displaying the site off motion by the enemy character NPC on the display screen of the display unit 14. The control unit 11 displays the site off icon NI in the vicinity of the enemy character NPC as the site off motion (see FIG. 5), and stops the action of the enemy character NPC for a certain period of time.

  Next, the control unit 11 detects a site off setting release trigger (step S206). In this example, the passage of a fixed time and an attack on the enemy character NPC by the player character PC are set as the site-off setting release trigger. The control unit 11 performs a process of displaying the site off motion until the site off setting release trigger is detected (N in step S207). When the site off setting release trigger is detected (Y in step S207), the site off setting is released. (Step S208), and the enemy character control process here is terminated.

  In this example, it is assumed that a site out counter is set as a site off setting release trigger depending on the type of enemy character NPC. In this case, the control unit 11 performs step S206 site off-motion display and refers to the enemy character management table 12b to determine whether or not the enemy character has the site-out counter capability. Here, the site-out counter means an attack on the player character PC immediately after moving on the game screen by the site-out operation process by the enemy character NPC as shown in FIG.

  The control unit 11 refers to the enemy character management table 12b, and performs processing for causing the enemy character NPC to perform a site-out counter operation when the site-out counter capability of the enemy character NPC is “present”. At this time, the control unit 11 may display a site out counter icon representing that the site out counter operation is performed in the vicinity of the enemy character NPC instead of the site off icon NI.

  Further, as a countermeasure for the site out counter, a configuration in which continuous site out by the player character PC can be executed may be adopted. In this case, after the site-out process is executed, the control unit 11 refers to the site-out action management table 12a before receiving an attack by the enemy character NPC or before receiving an operation by the player, and uses the enemy as a site-in enemy character. If there is character information, it is determined that site-out for the enemy character is possible. In this state, when a site-out operation by the player is accepted, the control unit 11 may perform a movement process so that the player character PC is removed from the field of view of the enemy character NPC.

  In the above example, after setting the state of the player character to the ready state for the site-out action, it is determined whether or not the player character PC exists within a range where the enemy character NPC can recognize the player character PC. Although configured, the processing order may be reversed.

  As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 that controls the progress of the video game by displaying the player character PC operated by the player on the display screen of the display unit 14 is performed by the player. When a predetermined operation is received, a process of setting the player character state to a ready state for the site-out operation is performed, and whether or not the player character PC exists within a range where the enemy character NPC can recognize the player character PC. If the player character PC is set in the ready state for the site-out action and it is determined that the player character PC is within the enemy character NPC recognition range, the state of the player character PC is changed. Executes a site-out action that targets an enemy character NPC. Then, a specific operation by the player is accepted as an execution command for a site-out operation process for causing the player character PC to perform a site-out operation that moves the player character PC out of the enemy character recognition range. Since it is configured to execute the out action process, a complex action during the battle can be executed at a realistic timing by a simple operation.

  That is, when the player character PC is set to the ready state for the site-out action and it is determined that the player character PC is within the enemy character NPC recognition range, the site-out action is set to the executable state. In addition, since the site-out operation process is executed in response to the reception of a specific operation by the player, the predetermined operation for setting the site-out operation preparation state and the executable state are set. A complex operation during a battle that goes out of sight from the enemy character's field of view by a simple operation that only performs a specific operation to execute the sight-out action process is sometimes located in the enemy character's field of view. It will be possible to execute at the timing with the reality.
