FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of battle processing in the video game processing apparatus 100. The battle process is started when the requirements for starting a battle between the player character operated by the user and the enemy character operated by the control unit 10 are satisfied in accordance with the progress of the game.

In the battle process, first, the control unit 10 starts the reproduction in the reproduction mode according to the game point value and reproduces the music indicated by the music information (step S101). That is, the control unit 10 selects a music piece to be reproduced from the music piece information, determines the reproduction manner of the selected music piece by referring to the music piece reproduction manner information and the game point value, and reproduces the music piece based on the decided reproduction manner. To do. In addition, the control unit 10 in the present example matches the start positions of a plurality of tracks constituting one music piece and simultaneously starts the reproduction. That is, the control unit 10 reproduces one piece of music as BGM by overlapping and reproducing a plurality of tracks.

Here, the reproduction start processing of the music in this example will be specifically described. Here, in the case where the music to be reproduced is the music A, the case where the battle is started in the state where the game point value is 0 will be specifically described as an example. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the music A is composed of four tracks of "vocal", "guitar", "bass", and "drum". Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the level corresponding to the game point value 0 in the music reproduction mode information is “level 1”. Therefore, the "vocal" track is played with "Volume1/♪=60", the "guitar" track is played with "Volume0/♪=60", and the "bass" track is played with "Volume0/♪=" 60" and the "drum" track is reproduced with "Volume1/♪=60". That is, in the case where the music to be reproduced is the music A, when the battle is started in the state where the game point value is 0, all the tracks are reproduced inside the video game processing apparatus 100, but the user says "vocal. The video game processing apparatus 100 executes the music reproducing process so that only the sounds of “” and “drum” can be heard.

Further, the video game processing device 100 may be configured to determine the appearance mode of the player character by referring to the appearance mode information and the game point value when reproducing the music. That is, the video game processing apparatus 100 may be configured to determine the reproduction mode of the music and the appearance mode of the player character when starting the reproduction of the music.

When performing the reproduction start processing of the music, the control unit 10 selects the music indicated by the music information according to a predetermined selection rule. As the predetermined selection rule, for example, a rule of referring to information in which a player character and a song are associated with each other to select a song corresponding to the player character, and information in which an enemy character and a song are associated with each other are referred to. Rules such as selecting a song corresponding to an enemy character and rules selecting a song corresponding to a game point value when a battle is started by referring to information in which a game point value is associated with a song are used. To be

When the reproduction of the music is started, the control unit 10 updates the game point value according to the progress status of the video game (step S102). That is, the control unit 10 updates the game point value in response to the player character damaging the enemy character or being damaged by the enemy character.

On the other hand, when the game point value is updated, the control unit 10 determines whether to update the reproduction mode of the music being reproduced (step S103). That is, it is determined whether or not the reproduction mode of the music being reproduced is updated by referring to the updated game point value and the music reproduction mode information. In this example, since the music reproduction mode information is the information in which the level corresponding to the game point value is set, whether or not the updated game point value corresponds to a level different from the current level Will be determined.

When determining that the reproduction mode of the music being reproduced is not updated (N in step S103), the control unit 10 updates the appearance mode by referring to the appearance mode information without updating the reproduction mode. It is determined whether or not (step S105).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the reproduction mode of the music being reproduced is updated (Y in step S103), the control unit 10 updates the reproduction mode of the music to the reproduction mode of the level corresponding to the game point value ( Step S104).

Here, the update process of the reproduction mode of the music in this example will be specifically described. Here, in the case where the musical composition to be reproduced is the musical composition A, a case where the game point value is updated to 10 after the battle is started with the game point value being 0 will be specifically described as an example. When the game point value reaches 10, as shown in FIG. 3, the level of the reproduction mode changes from “level 1” to “level 2”. Therefore, the "vocal" track is played back with "Volume1/♪=60", the "guitar" track is played back with "Volume1/♪=60", and the "bass" track is played with "Volume1/♪=" 60" and the "drum" track is reproduced with "Volume1/♪=60". Therefore, when the music to be reproduced is the music A, the video game processing device 100 reproduces the music in a reproduction mode in which only the sounds of “vocal” and “drum” are heard when the battle is started with the game point value being 0. Then, in response to the game point value becoming 10, the music is reproduced in a reproduction mode in which the sounds of "guitar" and "bass" can be heard. That is, the user has the impression that the sound is added so as to be synchronized with the original sound according to the progress of the game. According to such a configuration, even when performing an effect that gives the user a feeling that a track has been added, the introduction timing of the additional track (in this example, the track changed from the silent state to the voiced state) It becomes possible to execute the additional effect of the track without causing the deviation.

After updating the reproduction mode of the music, the control unit 10 refers to the appearance mode information and determines whether or not to update the appearance mode (step S105).

When it is determined that the appearance mode of the player character is not updated (N in step S105), the control unit 10 determines whether to shift to the special mode without updating the appearance mode (step S107). .. On the other hand, when determining to update the appearance mode of the player character (Y in step S105), the control unit 10 refers to the appearance mode information and updates the appearance mode to the appearance mode of the level corresponding to the game point value. Then, if the appearance mode is updated (step S106), it is determined whether to shift to the special mode (step S107).

When determining not to shift to the special mode (N in step S107), the control unit 10 returns to step S102 and performs a process of updating the game point value according to the progress of the game.

On the other hand, when determining to shift to the special mode (Y in step S107), the control unit 10 refers to the music reproduction information in the special mode to determine the reproduction mode of the music being reproduced in the special mode. (Step S108), the appearance mode of the player character is updated to the appearance mode in the special mode with reference to the special mode middle appearance mode information (step S109).

Here, the update process of the reproduction mode of the music when the mode is shifted to the special mode in this example will be specifically described. Here, in the case where the music piece to be reproduced is the music piece A, the case where the mode shift is possible when the game point value is 90 or more will be specifically described as an example. The level of the music reproduction mode when the game point value is 90 is 10 as shown in FIG. When the level of the reproduction mode of the music reaches 10, as shown in FIG. 3, the "vocal" track is reproduced with "Volume3/♪=100", and the "guitar" track is reproduced with "Volume3/♪=100". , The "base" track is reproduced at "Volume3/♪=100", and the "drum" track is reproduced at "Volume3/♪=100". When a mode transition request operation is received from the user in such a reproduction mode, the control unit 10 executes a mode transition process and shifts the player character mode to the special mode. When transitioning to the special mode, as shown in FIG. 5, the "vocal" track is played back with "Volume5/♪=130", and the "guitar" track is played back with "Volume4/♪=130". The "bass" track is reproduced at "Volume4/♪=130", and the "drum" track is reproduced at "Volume4/♪=130". Therefore, the video game processing apparatus 100 does not consider the break of the sound when the playback mode changes, and uses the volume and tempo of the music different from the normal mode in accordance with the part to be heaped up in the game. Will allow the music to be played.

When updating to the music reproduction mode and appearance mode in the special mode, the control unit 10 determines whether or not to end the special mode (step S110) and determines not to end the special mode (N in step S110). Determines again whether to end the special mode. That is, the control unit 10 repeats the process of step S110 until it determines to end the special mode.

On the other hand, when determining to end the special mode (Y in step S110), the control unit 10 ends the special mode and resets the game point value (step S111), depending on the progress of the game. Then, the process proceeds to step S102 of updating the game point value.

As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 that controls the progress of the video game is composed of a plurality of tracks, and one or two or more arbitrary combinations of tracks are reproduced.

A music reproduction mode information storage unit 23 that stores music reproduction mode information indicating a mode, starts reproduction in a reproduction mode corresponding to the game point value, and reproduces the music indicated by the music information (for example, step S101), Whether to update the game point value according to the progress status of the video game (for example, step S102) and refer to the updated game point value and the music reproduction mode information to update the reproduction mode of the music being reproduced. If it is determined (for example, step S103) that the reproduction mode is updated, the reproduction mode of the music being reproduced is updated to the reproduction mode corresponding to the updated game point value (for example, S103). , Step S104). Therefore, since the playing mode of the music being played is updated according to the game progress status such as the player character damaging the enemy character, the game progresses according to the progress of the game without making the user feel uncomfortable. BGM control can be performed.

In particular, the video game processing apparatus 100 adds and updates the game point value according to the progress status of the game, and the music reproduction mode information includes the volume and tempo of each track constituting the music as the reproduction mode of the music, The sound volume and tempo are configured to increase as the game point value increases. Therefore, it becomes possible to control the BGM so that the tone of the music gradually rises as the game progresses.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 starts the reproduction at the same time by aligning the start positions of a plurality of tracks constituting one music, and the tempo of each track included in the music being reproduced. The reproduction mode is updated so that the numbers do not differ. Therefore, even when the reproduction mode of the track is updated to a different reproduction mode, smooth BGM control can be executed without giving the user a feeling of strangeness.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the music reproduction mode information is configured to include a track that is switched from a silent state (for example, “Volume 0”) to a voiced state (for example, “Volume 1 to Volume 5”) in the reproduction mode. Therefore, even when performing an effect that gives the user the feeling that a track has been added, the introduction of the additional track (that is, the track that has changed from the silent state to the voiced state) does not cause a deviation in the introduction timing of the track. It becomes possible to execute additional effects. Therefore, it becomes possible to perform smooth BGM control without giving the user a feeling of strangeness.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 stores the special mode medium music reproduction mode information indicating the reproduction mode of the music in the special mode indicating the mode to be shifted when the predetermined condition is satisfied. The in-mode music reproduction mode information storage unit 25 is provided, and it is determined whether or not it is possible to shift to the special mode by referring to the updated game point value (for example, step S107), and it is possible to shift to the special mode. According to the determination, the reproduction mode of the music being reproduced is updated (for example, step S108), and the special mode is set (for example, steps S108 and S109). This makes it possible to intuitively grasp the effect related to the user in a smooth manner without giving the user a feeling of strangeness.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device 100 includes the appearance mode information storage unit 24 that stores the appearance mode information indicating the appearance mode of the player character according to the game point value, and the updated game points. By referring to the value and the appearance mode information, it is determined whether or not the appearance mode of the player character is changed (for example, step S105), and the appearance mode of the player character is determined according to the determination that the appearance mode is changed. It is configured to update the appearance mode according to the updated game point value (for example, step S106). Therefore, it becomes possible for the user to more intuitively understand the degree of accumulation of game points and the degree of progress of the game.
