Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to, for example, a game machine, a game development change method, and an information recording medium which compete for points with each other.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of home-use game machines in recent years, video games played by game machines have become a typical entertainment that can be easily enjoyed mainly by young people. Games of various genres, such as sports, fighting, and dancing, are supplied to the market. Among them, various games such as baseball, tennis, and soccer are provided as games relating to sports, and games relating to ball games are showing strong popularity.

[0003] A conventional sports game incorporates an element of growing a player's character by operating a hero character (hereinafter referred to as a player's character) operated by a player and repeatedly winning a game. There is also. Each time you win the game, your character's ability values (such as agility, physical strength, and guts) (such as basic ability values and other exercise ability values described later) increase, and your character's ability gradually increases. It is becoming more and more interesting, and growing the player's character makes the game more interesting.

[0004] For example, in a tennis game, as the player character grows, various ability values such as the player's basic ability value increase, and the operational feeling of the player operating the player character gradually increases. Become. Further, there is a case where the player visually feels that the player character has grown, such as changing the speed of the ball launched by the player character or the degree of change of the ball muscle.

[0005]

In the real world of sports, there is a "game flow", and the mental state of the player changes every moment according to the progress of the game. When the condition is good, the mental condition is also good, so that the play itself also improves, and there is a case where the player exerts his or her ability. Also, it is a well-known fact that when the physical condition is poor, the mental state is also poor, so that the play itself lacks vividness and may not be able to fully exercise its ability. It is common for a player to perform more than expected in a "game flow" and defeat a stronger opponent.

However, in the conventional breeding-type game as described above, there is no such thing as "flow of the game", and the various ability values of the character during the game are constant, Stats do not change during the match. Therefore, the player must operate the game by making the most of the character's ability value at the present time and win the game.

[0007] In particular, when a player competes with a character whose ability is higher than that of the player character, the player directly operates the player character whose ability value is maintained, and is forced to struggle. Like this, the “flow of the game”
Such a sense of urgency is not included in the conventional video games as described above, and in some cases, there is a problem that lack of realism, monotonous development of the game, and lack of interest.

An object of the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a configuration that allows a more tense game development by incorporating a game flow that is actually present in the game. It is in.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a game device, wherein a capability value setting means for setting a capability value of a character, and a turning point discrimination for discriminating a turning point in a game development of a game in which points compete with each other. Means, a condition satisfaction determining means for determining whether or not the game development after the determined turning point satisfies a predetermined condition, and the ability value setting means according to a determination result of the condition satisfaction determining means. A basic feature is that it has ability value changing means for changing the ability value of the set character.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the game device, wherein the ability value setting means for setting the ability value of the character, the turning point determining means for determining a turning point in a game development of a game competing for a score, and the determined turning point. A condition satisfaction determination unit that determines whether or not the game development after the point satisfies a predetermined condition, and the capability value setting unit is set only within a predetermined period according to a determination result of the condition satisfaction determination unit. A basic feature is that it has ability value changing means for changing the ability value of the character.

The difference between the first and second aspects is based on whether or not the change in the ability value is maintained only for a predetermined period. According to these configurations, the game is played during the development of the game. When a turning point to be a breakpoint is set and the turning point is determined by the turning point determining means to be a turning point, the score is increased. If the value changing means determines that the game development cannot satisfy the predetermined condition, such as improving the ability value of the subsequent character or losing a score at the turning point, the ability value of the subsequent character is reduced. Will be. Therefore, it becomes possible to incorporate the “flow of the game” as in the real sports world.

[0012] In particular, in the case where the change of the ability value is maintained only for a predetermined period as in claim 2, the ability of the character during the game development is not limited to the case where the ability value of the character is increased by normal point acquisition. The value can be increased in a timed manner (the ability value change is enabled only for a limited time, such as 10 minutes during one game, one set, etc.), and a more realistic “game flow” is achieved. Will be able to experience it.

The turning point, which is the division of the game, is equivalent to a turning point or a chance at which the development of the game changes during an actual game. You can make the match. For example, in a tennis game, a turning point may be set when a deuce has reached a predetermined number of times or more during one game, or when a tie break has occurred. Further, match points or game points may be used instead of the deuce or tie break.

In a game such as a soccer game or a basketball game, which has a limit on the game time, when the remaining game time has reached a predetermined time, or when the remaining game time has reached a predetermined time, the player is tied, It is possible that there is a difference in score.

In a baseball game or the like, a predetermined number of times (for example, 7
A turning point may be set when a losing team attacks in a lucky seven (for example, times) (when there is a score difference within a predetermined range). In addition, in a golf game or the like, a play-off or the like can be set as a turning point.

When the present configuration actually functions, there is a deuce in the case of a tennis game, for example, as a prerequisite event for determining a turning point.
It is preferable to include storage means for storing the number of deuces.

In the soccer game, the remaining game time is used as a premise for determining the turning point.
It is preferable that the turning point discriminating means include a timing means for measuring a game time.

In the case of still another game configuration, it is preferable to include a configuration corresponding to the turning point discriminating means in the configuration of the turning point discriminating means while taking into consideration the premise of the turning point depending on the type of the game.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the ability value changing means changes the ability value of the character (only within a predetermined period), and determines that the determination result by the condition satisfaction determining means satisfies a predetermined condition. If the player has made a score (for example, scores), the skill value changing means increases the character's skill value. The means causes the ability value of the character to be reduced.

Further, the condition for satisfying the game development after the turning point, which is determined by the condition satisfaction determination means of claim 4, can be fixed and set in advance. You can also decide. For example, a configuration in which a plurality of conditions are prepared and one or two of them are selected by a generated random number,
It is conceivable to adopt a configuration in which the score difference and the number of times in a certain condition are determined by random numbers generated within a predetermined range.
When the conditions are set in such a random setting, the game development becomes even more unpredictable, and it becomes possible to incorporate accidental elements more strongly, so that a more tense game development can be expected. become.

According to a fifth aspect, the capability value setting means sets the capability value in a memory prepared in advance.

By causing a computer to execute a process in the steps described in claims 6 to 9, claims 1 to
The same effects as those of the game device described in Item 4 can be obtained. Therefore, by executing the described processing steps using hardware such as a general-purpose computer and a general-purpose game device, the game technology of the present invention can be easily implemented with these hardware.

[0023] Claims 10 to 13 have the above-described structure.
In order to be realized as a plurality of functions by a computer, an information recording medium that stores a program that can be executed by those devices is defined. That is, as means for solving the above-described problem, an information recording medium storing a computer-executable program including a display device, an input device, a control device, a storage device, and the like is disclosed. In this case, the computer may include, in addition to a general-purpose computer configuration including a CPU configuration, a dedicated machine, a game device, a portable information terminal, and the like dedicated to a specific process. There is no particular limitation as long as it is accompanied by

When a program for executing the above function is read out from such an information recording medium by a computer, a turning point that is a division point of a game is set during the development of the game, and when the turning point is determined, the turning point is determined. If it is determined that the game development satisfies a predetermined condition, such as increasing the score, the game development satisfies the predetermined condition, such as improving the ability value of the subsequent character or losing a score at the turning point. When it is determined that the character cannot be satisfied, the ability value of the subsequent character is reduced. Therefore, it becomes possible to incorporate the “flow of the game” as in the real sports world.

In particular, if the character's ability value is increased in a timely manner during the development of the game, a more realistic "flow of the game" can be experienced in the game.

With this information recording medium, it can be easily distributed and sold as a software product. Also, by using this software using existing hardware resources, the game device of the present invention as a new application can be easily implemented on existing hardware. Then, when the program stored in the information recording medium of the present invention is executed by existing hardware, the game development change method according to the present invention is realized.

A part of the functions described in any one of claims 10 to 13 may be a function incorporated in a computer (a function incorporated in a computer as hardware, or a function incorporated in the computer). And the program recorded on the information recording medium includes an instruction for calling or linking the function realized by the computer. It may be.

This is because a part of each function defined in claims 10 to 13 is substituted by a part of a function such as an operating system, and an information recording medium has a program or module for realizing the function. Are not directly recorded, but if some of the functions of the operating system that achieve those functions are called or linked, the configuration is substantially the same.

FIG. 3 shows a screen configuration of a tennis game including the configuration of the present embodiment realized by the above configuration. This tennis game is a breeding-type game in which the player operates his own character and repeatedly wins the game to win the game, thereby incorporating an element for growing his own character. In this tennis game, each time a player wins the game, the player's ability values (these are basic ability values) such as the agility, physical strength, and guts of the player character increase, and the player character's ability gradually increases (levels up). It is going to go.

For example, as the character grows,
As the basic ability value of the player character increases, the operational feeling of the player operating the player character gradually improves. Further, the player feels visually that the player character has grown, for example, by changing parameters (hereinafter referred to as motor performance values) such as the speed of the ball launched by the player character and the degree of change of the ball muscle.

FIG. 4 shows a configuration of a registration screen for selecting a type of a character appearing before the start of the game in the above tennis game. Character type is No
rmal, Speed, and Control.

Among them, Normal is a type in which the motor performance values such as the speed of the ball hit by the character described later, the accuracy of dropping the ball at the target, the degree of change of the ball muscle, and the like are uniformly increased when the level is increased. Spe
The ed is a type in which the speed characteristics are outstanding among these athletic ability values, and the characteristics are remarkably improved at every level-up (speed is the highest priority). Control is a type in which the accuracy characteristics are outstanding among the athletic ability values, and the characteristics (parameters) are remarkably improved every level up.

When these types are selected, the agility shown as a character characteristic on the screen of FIG.
Characters related to the basic ability value of the character, such as stamina, skill, and guts, are displayed. As shown in Table 1 below, the points of the character selected according to each type (set to 100 by default), The level (set to 3 by default) and the basic ability value are set as status data of the selected character.

At the same time, as shown in Table 2 below, parameters of ball speed, accuracy and change (movement ability value) relating to the flat shot of the selected character and shot data including these parameters relating to other shots are set. The cumulative total SP refers to the cumulative total of the point values obtained during one set for level up, and the speed display refers to the moving speed of the ball moving on the screen according to the ball speed of the shot.

[Table 2]

Table 3 below is a classification table showing the types of shots that can be advanced by a character in the present tennis game. Here, shots are roughly classified into forehand and backhand, and it is automatically determined which of these shots to advance from the position of the character and the ball. The forehand is classified into a flat system, a slice system, a top spin system, and a lob system, and these are properly used by operating the control button of the controller 104 of the player.

For example, the controller 104 shown in FIG.
Pressing the ○ button results in a flat shot,
Pressing the button results in a slice shot, pressing the □ button results in a top spin shot, and pressing the △ button results in a lob shot. Furthermore, flat shots are classified into volley, stroke, and smash,
These are automatically determined from the height positional relationship between the character and the ball or which shot to take out from the position of the character on the court.

After the reading of the operating system and the program is completed, the PU 102 executes the program, jumps to another storage area as necessary, reads the stored content, and obtains data necessary for executing the program.

FIG. 7 shows a CD-ROM by the CPU 102.
It is a flowchart which shows the processing flow at the time of the level up performed by acquiring points on this game system when the said program is read from 116 and executed.

As shown in the figure, it is determined whether or not a score has been obtained in a shot performed by the own character (step S1).
01), when a score is obtained in the shot (step S1)
01; Yes), an experience value EXP (1) is calculated (step S102). The experience value EXP (1) is an accumulated value calculated by the number of shots × the correction value (for example, 1.0). Conversely, when the shot is a miss shot (Step S101; No), the experience value EXP (0) is calculated (Step S103). This experience value EXP (0) is also an accumulated value calculated by the number of shots × the correction value (for example, 0.8). The reason why these correction coefficients are multiplied is to provide a difference in the experience value depending on whether or not the shot has a higher score. These are repeated until the game ends (step S104).

When one game is completed (step S10)
4; Yes), an SP calculation process described later is performed (step S105). The SP is a value obtained by multiplying the accumulated point value of the experience value by a correction coefficient. As described later, it is determined which level the character is at based on the SP calculation processing (level data). Get). If the level is increased later, the above-described basic ability value of the character is changed. Based on the level determined by the point total (SP value), a parameter calculation process described later is further performed (step S10).
6).

In this parameter calculation processing, a correction coefficient table, which will be described later, is referred to for each type of character, and a correction coefficient is extracted therefrom, multiplied by the SP value of the character, and accumulated. The level of the athletic ability value is set. The ball speed of a new shot of the character is determined in accordance with the level, and a moving speed display process described later, which is displayed on the screen with a corresponding speed display, is performed (step S107), and the process ends.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the SP calculation processing in step S105 of FIG. In the figure, it is determined whether or not the game has been played after the game is over (step S201). When the game is taken (Step S201; Yes), SP (1) is calculated (Step S202). This SP (1) is a value obtained by multiplying the total point of the experience value accumulated in one game by a correction coefficient (for example, 1.0). Conversely, if the game has not been won (step S201; No), SP (0) is calculated (step S203). This SP (0) is also a value obtained by multiplying the total points of the experience value accumulated in one game by a correction coefficient (for example, 0.8). The reason why these correction coefficients are multiplied is to provide a difference at the time of level up depending on whether or not a game is played.

Then, the SP value is added to the total SP value obtained in the game played so far (step S2).
04). Thereafter, it is determined with reference to the level-up table shown in Table 4 below (step S205) whether or not to perform level-up (step S206). If the level is to be increased (step S206; Yes), the basic ability value to be written as the status data is increased (step S207). If the level is not increased (Step S206; No), the above processing is jumped, and the level data is acquired based on the total SP value (point value) (Step S208).

[0063]

[Table 4]

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the parameter calculation processing in step S106 of FIG. In the figure, first, the type of the character is determined (step S301), and a correction coefficient table shown in Table 5 below is referenced (step S302). Then, the SP value is multiplied by the obtained correction coefficient to calculate each parameter of the ball speed, accuracy, and change (step S303), and the parameter is added to the parameter obtained so far (cumulative parameter) (step S303). Step S304).

Based on the total parameters obtained in this manner, referring to the level-up table in Table 4 above,
It is determined whether or not to level up (step S30)
5). When Level Up is Performed (Step S305; Y
es) is the parameter change (increase of athletic ability value)
Is performed (step S306). If the level is not increased (step S305; No), the above processing is jumped. Then, the level data after the level up is obtained (step S307).

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the calculated parameters and each athletic ability value. According to this, as for the speed (Speed), the ball speed increases as the value of the parameter increases. As for the accuracy (Control), the higher the parameter value, the better the control. Further, as for the change (Spin), the change of the ball increases as the numerical value of the parameter increases.

[0067]

[Table 5]

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the moving speed display processing in step S107 of FIG. In the figure, first, a moving speed correspondence table as shown in Table 6 below is referred to (Step S401), and based on the parameters obtained in Step S304, the moving speed of the ball displayed on the screen by the shot of the character is determined. The determination is made (step S402), and the moving speed of the ball shown in Table 2 is updated. Therefore, if the level is increased based on the accumulation of the experience values, the basic ability value and the athletic ability value (various parameters) of the character are improved. For example, the moving speed of the displayed sphere increases.

[0069]

[Table 6]

In the configuration of the tennis game described so far, the player can grow his own character by operating the player's own character and winning the game repeatedly.

That is, each time a score is accumulated, the experience value is increased while reflecting the score result (the score does not change when a goal is lost), and each time the game is won, the point (SP value) is increased (the game value is increased). This does not change if missed), the basic abilities of the player character such as the agility, physical strength, and guts of the player character increase, and the abilities of the player character gradually increase. As a result, the operational feeling of the player operating the own character gradually improves. Furthermore, parameters such as the moving speed of the ball launched by the own character and the degree of change in the ball muscle are increased, and the player feels visually that the own character has grown.

In addition to the above-described structure, when a goal is missed or a game is missed, the point is lowered, the basic ability value is reduced, and the ability level of the character is gradually reduced. Can also. As a result, the operational feeling of the player operating the own character gradually deteriorates.
Further, if the parameters such as the moving speed of the ball launched by the own character and the degree of change of the ball muscle are reduced, the player is given a real feeling that the player must visually grow the own character.

Further, in this configuration, the CPU 102
When a game program including the configuration of the present invention is read from the D-ROM 116 and executed, a turning point that is a division point of a game is set during the development of the game, and a score is given when the turning point is determined. For example, if it is determined that the game development satisfies a predetermined condition, the game development can be performed in a predetermined manner, such as the ability to improve the character's ability value in a timely manner or not being able to score at the turning point. If it is determined that the condition cannot be satisfied, the ability value of the subsequent character is reduced in a timely manner. As a result, the "flow of the game" can be included as in the real sports world.

Here, the turning point is set when the deuce has been continued four times in one game. At this turning point, if the score can be increased, the ability value will be improved, and if the score cannot be increased, the ability value will be decreased.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a processing flow in the case where the turning point is set as described above, and the ability value is changed in a timely manner depending on whether or not the score can be raised at that time.

First, the number of deuces is counted (step S501), and it is determined whether or not the number of deuces has reached four (ie, a turning point) (step S501).
502). If the turning point has not been reached (step S502; No), the process returns to step S501. Conversely, when the turning point is reached (step S50)
2; Yes) determines whether or not the own character has been able to score at the turning point (step S503). If the score can be increased (step S503; Yes), the basic abilities such as the agility and stamina of the own character are increased by a predetermined amount (step S504), and at the same time, each parameter of the shot of the own character is set to 1. The motor performance value is increased by 5 times (step S505). Conversely, if the score cannot be increased (step S503; No), the basic ability value of the own character is reduced by a predetermined amount (step S503).
506) At the same time, each parameter of the shot of the own character is increased by 0.8 times, and the athletic ability value is reduced correspondingly (step S507).

In this configuration, the period during which the ability value increases or decreases is maintained only during the game.
The game may be carried over to the next game, or may be held during the set. Further, the degree of the change in the ability can be arbitrarily changed in consideration of the balance of the game. Instead of changing both the basic ability value and the exercise ability value, one of them may be increased or decreased.

Further, as a turning point, not only a deuce (exactly four deuces) as in the present configuration, but also a match point, a game point, a tie break and the like can be changed. In addition, if the setting is made when a certain score difference is reached, it is possible to improve the fun of the game by leading to the rebirth and revival.

Further, in the present configuration, after the turning point, a fixed condition is set in advance as to whether or not the score can be increased. However, a plurality of the above conditions are prepared, and the generated random number is set. And one of the conditions
Alternatively, the score difference or the number of times of certain conditions may be determined by random numbers generated within a predetermined range. If the conditions are set in such a random setting, the development of the game becomes more unpredictable,
The chance element can be more strongly included, and a more tense game development can be expected.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a processing flow when the game development change method of the present invention is applied to a soccer game. In this configuration, the turning point is set three minutes before the end of the match (that is, three minutes remaining in the match).

Then, the game time is counted (step S6).
01), it is determined whether or not the remaining game time has reached 3 minutes (ie, a turning point) (step S60).
2). If the turning point has not been reached (step S602; No), the process returns to step S601. Conversely, when the turning point has been reached (step S602;
Yes), it is determined whether or not the character of the own team has scored after the turning point (step S603). If the score can be increased (step S603; Yes), the base abilities such as the agility and stamina of all the characters of the own team are increased by a predetermined amount (step S604), and at the same time, the shots of these characters are performed. Are multiplied by 1.5, and the athletic ability value is increased by that amount (step S605). Conversely, if the score cannot be increased (step S603; No), the basic ability values of all the characters of the own team are reduced by a predetermined amount (step S60).
6) At the same time, the respective parameters such as the shots of these characters are increased by 0.8 times, and the athletic ability values are reduced accordingly (step S607).

In the above-described embodiment, the turning point is determined to be three minutes before the remaining game time to determine the turning point. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be 4 minutes or more.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the present invention is realized using a home game machine as a platform. However, the present invention may be realized using a general-purpose computer such as a personal computer or an arcade game machine as a platform.

[0087]

As described above, according to the present invention,
A turning point, which is a division point of the game, is set during the development of the game, and if the development of the game satisfies a predetermined condition at the turning point, the ability value of the subsequent character is improved, or the game is executed at the turning point. If your deployment does n’t meet the requirements,
Thereafter, the ability value of the character is reduced.
As a result, the "game flow" can be incorporated into the video game as in the real sports world, and the game can be developed with a sense of urgency.
