Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a game control method between a plurality of game software (programs) for controlling a game of a game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, game software (programs) of game machines are independent and independent game softwares, and control styles in which game control is completed only by control information of the independent game software programs are almost impossible. Met. As non-single game software, there is a game software in which a communication match game is performed with a game machine of a communication partner using communication means, but one game software (program) of the own machine and a communication match of a communication opponent opposed thereto are used. In relation to the other game software (program), both are the same software, and control the game progress in an equivalent control relationship.

[0003] In other words, these communication battle game programs mutually exchange (catch ball) operation information and control information with an opponent player, and use the same operation information and control information to exchange information. The control was performed for the purpose of making the control states identical and equivalent to each other.

[0004] For example, control information of an event generated by the operation of the game program of the own machine (one game machine) is transferred to the game program of the other party (the other game machine) using a command or the like by a communication means. By transmitting the event, the event is transmitted in real time to the game program of the other party (the other game machine), that is,
The control was intended to mutually maintain and retain the game state in the same state on the opponent game machine in real time. In that sense, of course, both programs were mutually equivalent, equal, identical and equivalent software.

In a breeding game or the like, a breeding character or breeding character information (such as breeding information) bred by a game program of its own machine (one game machine) is separately transferred to a game program of the other game machine. And
By sending the game, the game program of the other game machine uses the upbringing character and character information (upbringing information) to make it possible to perform further upbringing. If additional upbringing is performed on the game, A device that controls so that a new breeding character or breeding character information (additional breeding information) generated as a result of the additional breeding is returned and transferred to the game program (of one of the game machines) from which the breeding was requested. Met.

The game program (of one of the game machines) on which the additional breeding information is returned / transferred may use the additional breeding information to advance the game (control) again,
Further development (control) was promoted. (Grow up)
It was a control relationship that had a relationship of requesting and requesting.

[0007]

The game program of the conventional game machine is as follows: 1) In a game completed by a single game software,
All game events specified in the game program can appear within the control range of the closed game software, that is, all game events by the player can be determined by the difference in difficulty. There was a regulatory relationship that could be discovered or expressed. Therefore, the game system is a lonely game system in which control is completed within a single game software, and no change is made without any communication with other game software.

[0008] 2) In addition, in a breeding game or the like, there has been a game system in which it is possible to entrust or request a breeding to another game program by using a communication means or the like. In relation,
It is a control relationship that requests or is requested to grow,
The control relationship is based on the premise that by requesting (training), the result information of the requested training is returned to the requesting game program. However, both players had the drawback that they needed a close relationship. Also, in the past, 3) there was software in which a game was played by alternately changing the order of one game software with one game machine, but the game was a complete game within the same game program. Competing only for players, the relationship between the game was poor. There was only communication of lending and borrowing of games owned by individual players.

[0009] 4) In addition, there is a game in which two players can cooperate with each other with a computer program in a game program of one game machine.
After all, it was a game that was completed within one game program. In other words, the events that occur are all events within the range set in the game program, and even if there are hidden characters and events that have become hidden secrets, the discovery of those hidden events is Using a means method completed in the game program set in advance,
It was set so that it could be discovered and generated eventually.

[0010] 5) Also, in a communication competition game machine where two game machines face each other using the communication means, the same environmental conditions are set in advance in the game programs of the game machines of the communication partners. And did not have a world of unknown control information different from each other. That is,
It was practically the same as game software that allows two players to play with one game software.

An object of the present invention is to introduce a new control relationship in addition to the above-described control relationship among a plurality of game programs, and to provide new fun. For example, by providing or receiving certain control information, the control information is used as a trigger so that a hidden element appears for the first time. And The present invention
Multiple game programs are connected in a certain relationship, and new discoveries and unexpectedness are expressed only in that relationship, providing game characteristics that require different communication between players for that purpose The purpose is to do.

[0012]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide further fun.
On the other hand, in the context of the game program, events that cannot be expressed by the game program of the game machine alone
This is realized by controlling the element so that it can be expressed only in having a control relationship with another game program.

The control relationship with another game program is as follows.
For example, a control relationship such as "giving" certain control information that can be held only by one game program and cannot be held by the other game program from one game program to the other game program, A game control method required for realizing the above is provided below.

[0014] The control method means that, in the relationship between the game program of one game machine and the game program of the other game machine, the game program of one game machine has control information that is solely owned by the game program. And events that cannot be expressed only by control, control objects, control information, etc., and usually, such events, control objects, and control information are as if they are dormant or frozen. It is in a control state where it behaves and cannot be activated (work, start moving).

That is, if only the control information possessed by one of the game programs is used, the above-mentioned event or the like (freezing is released)
It is in a controlled state where it will not start working. Further, in the game program of the other game machine, the event owned by the game program of the one game machine,
And means for generating (some) control information in which the control object and the control information are thawed from a dormant state or a frozen state and wake up from dormancy and work. By controlling the control information to be transferred and sent to the game program of the one game machine at a certain point in time, the game program of the one game machine on the sending side transmits the sent control information. By receiving the information, the control information is used and controlled so that the event that cannot be normally expressed, the control target, the control information, and the like can be thawed and released from the dormant state to start working. More specifically, the present invention provides a game control method for a game machine as described below.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, in a control relationship between a plurality of game software for controlling a game of a game machine, each (both) game software is activated only by control information and control of its own game software alone. Where there is no controlled object in a frozen state, or a means for generating control information with a function to defrost the frozen controlled object, or both, and a function to defrost. The one game software having the means for generating the control information provided by controlling to transfer and send the control information provided with the decompression function generated by the means to the other game software. The other game software that holds the control target in the frozen state on the side to which it has been sent does not work by being frozen using the control information provided with the function to thaw the sent in. Controlling the state put out work Extract the control object state was characterized by a relationship of the controlled object and the control information of the game software, game control method is. By performing the game control in such a manner, one game program can be changed from the other game program (or to the other game) in game characteristics.
The fun of real-world conceptual acts such as "give / receive", "gift", and "lend" can be realized by the transfer control action, and the control information decompressed using the transferred control information can be used. When used for game control of a game program, there is an effect that unexpectedness can be designed such that a new character appears or is found. A second invention is: In a control relationship among a plurality of game software programs for controlling a game of a game machine, each (both) of the game software programs has control information unique to its own game software (a)
Or a means for generating new control information (b) for controlling the control object controlled by
Alternatively, one game software having both means and having a means for generating new control information (b) gives the other game software having unique control information (a) the generated new information. In the other game software having the unique control information (a) of the sent side by transferring and sending the appropriate control information (b), the unique control information (a)
It is changed or replaced or supplemented or added by the sent new control information (b), and thereafter, the change, replacement,
A game control method characterized by having a relationship between a control target of game software and control information (b), wherein a control target is controlled based on added control information (b). By controlling in this way, for example, when the control target is a character, a new character having a character / performance (control information) different from the character / performance (control information), which cannot be possessed by one of the game software, is obtained. It acts so that it can suddenly transform into a character, and makes it possible to change the game characteristics such as being reborn as a new character.

According to the present invention, a controlled object (a so-called controlled element, which is one of the hidden elements) registered in one game program so as to be hidden without being disclosed by being controlled as described above. For example, a character, an event, a card, or a control target such as a mini-game) acts so that it can be expressed (generated) by the control information obtained from the game result of the other game program, so that it is obtained up to that time. The state that the new hidden control target that could not be done can be newly obtained in the game,
Can appear. In addition, the control relationship between a plurality of game software means that the game machine of the same model or a different model is
Further, the relationship may be the same or different between different types of game software. That is, it is sufficient that the relationship is a promised relationship, such as the relationship between the control target and the control information, and it is sufficient that such a rule is provided and programmed in advance.
In particular, different game software of different types of game machines has effects such as unexpectedness in terms of unexpectedness and interaction between players.

The system program ROM (12) includes:
A game system program and subroutine group for managing and controlling the entire game machine are resident. For example, a common subroutine group frequently used when the game program controls the progress of the game is resident, and the game program advances the game control using the subroutine group. The subroutine group includes a display subroutine for controlling display of a game character or the like on the display control means (8), a sound subroutine for controlling sound output on the sound control means (6), and a game subroutine. An operation input subroutine for taking control of an operation signal from the operation means (5), a communication subroutine for controlling a communication protocol for performing communication with the communication control means (7), and the like are provided.

The CPU (11) executes management control of the entire game control device (3) by executing a game system program resident in the system program ROM (12), and executes a game program in the game program ROM (10). The game progress control is performed according to the game progress control of the game. The display control means (8) controls the display subroutine by the CPU (11) and the display control by executing the game program to display the game character and the background on the display screen of the liquid crystal display panel or the CRT display as the display means (4). The display of the screen is controlled.

The game program cassette (2) stores, in addition to the game program, a plurality of image data, a plurality of sound data, a control table of control information for controlling the behavior (event) of the control object, and the like.
M (10) and a non-volatile data storage RAM (16) as storage means for storing the various data and control information of the game result of playing the game.

Here, for the description of the present invention, a description will be given assuming, for example, a program for executing a role-playing type game as a game program. In the present invention, control objects such as various game characters and items usually appear in the course of the progress of the story of the role playing game.

The controlled object such as a game character or an item has a "control table" for controlling the controlled object. The "control table" is stored in a game program ROM (10) or a nonvolatile data storage RAM.
(16). The "control table"
Has a configuration as shown in FIGS.

In the description herein, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, characters (21), various points (22), various items (23), various stages (24), hidden stages ( 25), a hidden event (26), a hidden card (27), a hidden mini game (28), and the like are registered and stored. These control objects include a normal control object (AA), a hidden control object (BB), and a control object (C
C). The control target such as a character is a normal character (standard character 1).
6 and rare characters 1-4), there are hidden characters 1 and 2 (29).

Here, "hidden ..." means the frozen hidden control target (BB) according to the present invention, and the control target (BB) which does not normally appear is referred to. means. Other normal characters belong to other control objects (AA).

Each of the control objects further has control information as shown in FIG. As one example,
FIG. 3 illustrates an example of the character. The control target which is a character includes a control target type code (31) indicating the type of the control target, a control target name code (32) indicating the type of the character here, and a performance indicating the performance / characteristics of the control target. It is composed of characteristic data (33), appearance condition data (34) of the controlled object, and attribute data (45) defining the inherent properties of the controlled object.

The control type code and (31) are codes indicating the classification and type of the control target. For example, the control target code may be various characters to be displayed, various items (characters), and so on. This code indicates the type of control target, such as various cards (characters) or other special events. The control target name code (32) means code data indicating a name for individually distinguishing a plurality of control targets classified by the type.

The data (33) representing the performance / characteristics differs in detailed data items for each control object. For example, in the case of a character, it represents the performance of the character.
It is composed of data such as speed data (33-1), strength / capability level data (33-2) representing strength and capability, and the like. These data are examples. The appearance condition data (34) is data that defines conditions under which the control target appears on the game. For example, the appearance permission flag (3) indicating whether or not the character can appear.
3-3) and other data.

The appearance permission flag (33-3) is a flag indicating permission for the appearance of the controlled object in the present invention. If the flag (F / F) is ON = 1, the appearance permission state (decompression) is set. ), OFF = 0 indicates a non-appearable state (freeze), and OFF = 0 is programmed to be used for control by the game program so as not to appear on the game. I have.

The attribute data (35) is data that defines the unique characteristics of the control target, and is, for example, data representing the size / size of the character, color type data, or address data representing the location of the character. Or other data.

All of these control objects are stored in a game program ROM (10) in such a manner that the control information thereof is represented as a table and arranged in a plurality of control object types so that a plurality of control objects can be registered. Or non-volatile data storage R
It is stored and arranged as a table in the control data area of the AM (16).

When these control objects are used for control, the work RAM is used by the game program if necessary.
(13) and the like.

The control information on these tables is stored in the game program cassette (2) in order to store the game result status data or the progress status data when the game is ended or the game is interrupted halfway. )
To the non-volatile data storage RAM (16)
When the game is restarted again, it can be read out and saved so that it can be used.

Here, as the control means of the game control method of the present invention, various control objects as shown in FIG. 2 are classified into control objects (AA), (BB) and (CC).

The control information of at least the control object (BB) is an "appearance permission flag" which has the appearance permission flag (F / F) (33-3) and gives permission for the appearance of the control object. Is "OFF: 0", the appearance is prohibited (frozen state), it never appears, and if it is set to "ON: 1", the appearance permission is given (thaw state), The program is programmed so as to give a chance of appearance on the display screen of the game, but the appearance permission flag (F / F) of the control object (BB) of the “hidden... Program cassette),
OFF is reset to 0, and the program is programmed so that ON = 1 is not set as long as the game is played by the game software alone.

However, by receiving control information of a predetermined control target (CC) from another game program using communication means or the like, the appearance permission flag of the control target (BB) is set to ON = 1 for the first time, and Is programmed to be controlled in such a state as possible.

For example, a certain hidden character
1, 2 (BB) and the like are decompressed and programmed so that they can appear. Here, certain predetermined control information (C
C) is an ability point (22-1) or a score (22) which is one of the various points shown in FIG.
Control information of the control target (CC) such as -2) is programmed to fulfill the role.

Here, the predetermined control object (C
It is assumed that the correspondence between the control information of C) and the control target (BB) decompressed by the received control information is determined by a convention agreed between both game programs. However, the program is programmed so that the control target (BB) of the own program is not decompressed by the control information of the control target (CC) of the own program.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the two game machines are connected by communication means, the player communicates with the opponent game machine in a mode other than the game mode in which a normal game is played. While looking at a screen for transmitting and receiving (CC) control information, a control target (CC) to be transferred (control information of) is selected, and the selected control target (CC) is transferred from one game machine to the other game machine. The program is programmed to be transferred by the communication control means (7) by giving an operation instruction to be transferred to.

Then, the control object (C
In the other game machine receiving the control information C), the appearance flag (F / F) of the control target (BB) corresponding to the received control information to be decompressed is set (F / F = 1). Be programmed. Control target (BB)
Other than the control target (CC) and the normal control target (AA). In this way, the hidden control target (BB)
Are controlled so that they can appear.

[0042]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG.
2, will be described based on FIG.

1) A game program in an initial state (or an initialized state) in which at least one game software of the present invention is purchased is prepared in advance in the game software cassette or generated in the course of the game. It is assumed that the control information alone includes at least one control target (BB) that does not set the appearance permission flag of the hidden control target (BB) to “ON: 1”. .

2) However, in the game program of the present invention, the "control information of a certain predetermined control target (CC)" must be obtained (obtained) by a means separately obtained by communication means from another game machine. By the first time, the control target (BB)
Is set to "ON: 1".

3) On the contrary, normally, without acquiring (obtaining) the “control information of a certain predetermined control target (CC)”, the game program can execute the appearance permission flag (33) of the control target (BB). The program is programmed so as not to execute the set operation of -3). (However, this is not the case in special cases. For example, if it is possible to get during the game, but it is difficult to get it, program it so that it can be obtained from another game program by the means of the present invention. 4) Therefore, normally, in the game state of this single game cassette alone, at least one or more game characters and control objects that never appear are present.

5) On the other hand, there is provided means for decompressing such a controlled object that does not appear. The decompression means is as follows: 1): In the other (other) game program different from the (one) game program cassette, during the execution of the game, the "control of the predetermined control object (CC)" is performed. Program means for generating "information". The program means is, for example, an ability point (22-1), a score (22-2), or the like obtained by the (other) game player in the course of the game when the other game program is executed and the game is played. This is a program for generating control information of “various points” (CC), which is one of the control targets.

Part 2): The generated control information of "various points" (CC) is sent from one side to one game program by communication means. Using the received control information of the "point", a program for setting the flag of the control target, which has been promised in advance, to "ON: 1" is operated on the one of the sent game programs, and is set to the set state. So that it is programmed. The control flow including the operation flow of the present invention using the two game programs having the above relationship will be described in more detail with reference to the following flowcharts FIGS.

Step S1: Both players separately mount one and the other game program cassettes (2) on the game machine body (1) and start the game.

Step S2: The game control devices (3) of both game machines (1) control the progress of the game according to the operation of the game operation means (5) of both players. During the course of the game, one or the other of the game programs will be assigned an ability point (AP) (22-
1) The "point" is obtained. (The game may be played separately by two roles.) Steps S3 and S4: When ending the game or stopping the game halfway, the game control device (3) of the game machine operates according to the control of the game program. A game end control is performed by detecting a player's intention to end or a power-off.
At that time, mid-game data and / or result data,
The control information necessary for restarting the game is stored and stored in the nonvolatile data storage RAM (16) of the game program cassette (2). For example, AP (ability points) obtained in the course of the game and other points, various points,
Control information (changed as a result of the game) of a control target such as various characters, various items, and various stages is stored and stored. After the game is over, the two players (or two in one role) are to decompress the control object with respect to a predetermined (promised) decompressible control object between the two game programs. Negotiation of the transfer of (the control information of) the control object necessary for the game is discussed, and the two game machines promise to communicate with each other in order to reflect the result of the negotiation in the game program. Then, in the following, communication will be started.

Step S5: The player transmits (A) and (B) of the two game machines (1) equipped with the game program cassettes (1) (a) and (b) to the communication means (6).
1), the control object (B) in which one of the game software promised between the two game machines (between the game software) travels
B) and a control object (C) owned by the other game software.
In the relationship with the control information of C), a transmission instruction operation is performed on the game control device (3) of the game machine to transmit the control information of the control target (CC) that the player wants to give to the opponent game. Do.

Steps S6 and S7: If there is control information of the control target (CC) to be given to the other (or one) game from the one (or the other) game, one (or the other)
The game program sends the control information from one game machine to the other (or) another game machine under the control of the communication control means (7). In the other (or one) game machine, the game program receives the control information by the communication control means (7), and uses the received control information to set the appearance permission flag (BB) of the predetermined control target (BB). 33-3) is read from the nonvolatile data storage RAM (16) of the game program cassette (2), ON = 1 is set, and the data is stored again. (Here, the control information may be updated.) Steps S8 and S9: If the other (or one) game has control information to be given to one (or the other) game, the process proceeds to step S6 or S6. Perform in the same manner as 7. The control target (CC) from another game program shown in the present embodiment.
As a special example, the control target (BB) of the own game program can be decompressed not only by the control target (BB) of the own game program but also by the control target (CC) of the own game program. It should be noted that there is no problem even in the case of negotiated game software. Then, when the communication of the transfer of the control information of the control target (CC) ends, the player can play the game again using the new control target (BB) (hidden ...) obtained by the communication. become. That is, the game will be restarted in the following.

Step S10: The player obtains the control object (BB) appearance permission flag (33-
The program cassette in which 3) is set is mounted on the game machine (1), and the game is restarted.

Steps S11 and S12: The game program (a) or (b) checks whether the appearance permission flag (33-1) of the control target (BB) has been set in the course of controlling the progress of the game. , If set
It is regarded as a decompressed new control target (BB) and is regarded as a control target of the game program, and is in a state where it appears in the game and can be expressed. Steps 13 and 14: Further, control information of the control target (AA) may be obtained in addition to the control target (BB). In this case, the control information of the control target (AA) may be updated. If updated, the game program:
The control object (AA) is controlled based on the updated control information.

The control is performed as described above. Control information such as a score obtained in the course of executing the game in the game program of the own game machine and an ability point similar to the score is obtained.
By transferring and transferring to the game program of the opponent game machine using a communication means such as communication, the game program of the opponent game machine cannot be obtained (or is difficult to obtain) on the game program of the opponent game machine. ) It is controlled so as to obtain a control target, for example, a control target such as an item or a hidden character that cannot be obtained on the game program of the opponent game machine. In addition, the game program of the opponent's game machine operates so that new elements appear only by using the control target obtained by the transfer, so that the opponent player can play the game using the newly acquired elements. Can be programmed so as to be developed in an advantageous manner, and it can be designed to generate new fun.

The game program of the game machine of the opponent is obtained from the game program of the game machine of the opponent, such as the exchange condition for the control information (CC) sent to the opponent. A control to control so that a control target that cannot (or is difficult to obtain), for example, an item or a hidden character that is a control target that can only be obtained on the game program of the opponent's game machine, can be returned and transferred. The control may be performed in combination with the method. Then, the game program of the own game machine uses the exchanged control information to obtain the controlled object whose level has been raised and to appear, or the player of the own machine has newly acquired the control object. By programming the game using the elements to develop the game in an advantageous manner, it can be designed to generate new fun.

In another mode, although the appearance permission is given, control information (capability information data) for specifying a capability that cannot be possessed when only the single game software cassette is used is sent. Control information may be used as described above.

The game device body (1) may be a portable game machine having a liquid crystal display panel, a home game machine using a home television as a display means, or a video game machine for business use. .

[0058]

According to the present invention, each game software has a hidden control target (item or the like) that cannot be started unless control information serving as a trigger is received from another game software. Will be.

Each game software according to the control method of the present invention has a pleasure of finding the hidden items in each game software, and sets a special hidden item as in the present invention. However, it is possible to control a game so that individual game software alone cannot be found by a player. Then, according to the present invention, only when a control action such as obtaining special control information from other game software occurs, it is possible to guide the game player to discover or express the hidden item.

Also, the game software of the present invention, in which the hidden element does not appear unless special circumstances such as obtaining special control information, occur, the act of obtaining control information from other game software owned by a friend is secret for the player. The more hidden techniques that are not public, the better.

That is, one of the game players can know the hidden technique by performing human communication with the player having the other game software, and further performs the action of sending and receiving the control information as described above. Pressed by the need for relationships
It is expected that the effect will be obtained by creating an environment in which players need to have a cooperative cooperative relationship, such as providing control information, in which the players have a more friendly conversation.
